Dubbed as the ‘Southern Derby’, it is for the first time that the CSK is playing against RCB in the Tata IPL Tournament. The match will be played at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The CSK vs RCB match can be either livestreamed on Disney Plus Hotstar or can be watched on Star Sports TV channels. It would be interesting to see how Faf du Plessis plays against his former teammates at CSK. During a pre-match interaction, Faf du Plessis said that he was looking forward to this match. Talking about the current form of CSK, Faf du Plessis said that the four times IPL winners can’t be taken lightly and can’t be written off.
But the rudderless performance of the Chennai Super Kings under Ravindra Jadeja has been anything that speaks of champions. In their four matches in this IPL season so far, the CSK has not been able to win even a single match. To the agony of the CSK fans, the team is currently at the bottom of the IPL points table. In their last game, Sunrisers Hyderabad had beaten Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets.
On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bangalore is looking good at the fourth spot on the points table. In their last outing, the RCB defeated Mumbai Indians by seven wickets.
