Chennai Super Kings's skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad on Friday elected to bowl in a high-stakes encounter against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk. The match, which is being played at Chepauk, is set to produce intense moments. Both sides are riding high on the momentum of their recent victories and are ready to lock horns in a crucial battle that could have significant implications for their campaigns in the mega Indian Premier League.
Both sides have made changes as Matheesha Pathirana is in for CSK in place of Nathan Ellis while Bhuvneshwar Kumar has come in for Rasikh Salam Dar in RCB's lineup. Now, with both teams coming off solid victories in their previous matches, this could turn out to be a fiercely contested match. Meanwhile, batter Virat Kohli is targeting 13000-run mark in T20 cricket. Kohli needs only 55 runs more to become the first-ever Indian batter to reach the landmark.
