CSK vs RCB Match Preview:

Nothing is going right for Chennai at the moment. CSK will hope Ruturaj Gaikwad gets back into his touch soon. Shivam Dube in the middle order can make a difference for the Super Kings. 

The bowling hasn't been in the best shape as well. CSK could try to bring in Rajvardhan Hangergekar to add bowling and batting depth. Maheesh Theekshana could be a game-changer. 

Bangalore's batting has got into a good rhythm. All the batters now have contributed well. Virat Kohli and Anuj Rawat had a good hit in the last game. Glenn Maxwell in the middle order will be crucial.

There is a chance Harshal Patel might miss this match. Josh Hazlewood will also be available and it will be interesting if he plays and whom he replaces. Given the circumstances, Hazlewood can come in place of David Willey and either Suyash Prabhudessai or Rajat Patidar could replace Harshal.
