RCB v CSK, 35th IPL Match Probable Playing XI - Dhoni vs Kohli

In the 35th match of IPL 2021, Royal Challengers Bangalore will face Chennai Super Kings in Sharjah on 24th September. CSK defeated RCB the last time these two teams met this season. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore had a forgettable start to the 2nd phase of the season. None of the batters could stick at the crease as RCB got bowled out for 92. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers to firepower RCB's innings. 

There was nothing for the bowlers to defend in the last match. In an unlikely chance, Kyle Jamieson could sit out to make way for Tim David. 

Chennai Super Kings' top order flopped apart from Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was the stand-out performer, in the last match. If Ambati Rayudu is not fit, then Robin Uthappa might get a chance to feature in the playing XI. 

Sam Curran might not find a place in the XI considering how well the bowling department performed in the game. Moeen Ali will be the key player for CSK. 

The Dhoni vs Kohli encounter is one of the most awaited matches in an IPL season. The two have met each other 27 times across the seasons, where CSK has won 17 times and lost nine games.
