RCB vs CSK: Southern Derby – Clear Weather, Batting Pitch

The southern derby between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings is set for Sunday at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

RCB’s squad features Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar (c), Tim David, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, while CSK fields Sanju Samson (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), and MS Dhoni. Probable XIs include Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, Rajat Patidar, Jitesh Sharma, and Tim David for RCB, and Sanju Samson, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Dhoni for CSK.
