RCB vs CSK, IPL 2021: Highlights
Chennai Super Kings go level on points with Delhi Capitals as both teams have won 7 wins in 9 matches but MS Dhoni’s men have a better Net Run Rate. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore will start to worry a bit as they have had a horror restart to the season following a strong first leg in India where Virat Kohli’s men had won 5 out of 7 matches.
After a 9-wicket hammering to KKR and the 6-wicket loss to CSK, RCB’s winless run in the UAE has extended to 7 matches, dating back from IPL 2020. They still sit at the 3rd spot with 5 wins from 9 matches, 2 points more than 4th-placed KKR.
