Chennai Super Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the league match of IPL 2021, aka Indian Premier League, which will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Chennai Super Kings struggled in the first game, and they have now won three games in a row. The all-round performance of Moeen Ali is a big boost for the side, whereas Jadeja, Faf, and Curran have also been brilliant. However, the likes of Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni need to step up.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have won all four of their games, and they would want to continue their unbeaten run. Glenn Maxwell and Ab de Villiers are in brilliant form, whereas Virat and Devdutt also proved their class in the last game. The bowling of Harshal Patel has been great, whereas Kyle Jamieson & Mohammad Siraj are also bowling well.
