Chennai Super Kings are sixth on the ongoing league stage points table. Having played four games so far, they have managed to win two games and lost as many games in the competition.
CSK lost to Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals but defeated Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians. The four-time IPL champions might as well have to pick up the pace before it’s too late.
In the previous edition, they failed to qualify for the playoffs by finishing 9th. However, this time around, they will be looking to do much better. CSK are now gearing up for the upcoming South Indian derby clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
MS Dhoni has scored the most runs against RCB in history as an Indian
The highly-anticipated South Indian Derby will go all guns blazing at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB are expected to turn up the ante at their fortress in front of their vibrant supporters.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are seventh on the points table, just below Chennai Super Kings. Just like CSK, RCB have played four games wherein they won two games and lost the remaining games.
Meanwhile, CSK skipper, MS Dhoni is the player to watch out for in the upcoming clash against RCB. Notably, the cricketing brain loves scoring runs against RCB and history tells us the same.
It is worth mentioning here that MS Dhoni has essayed the most runs against RCB in history as an Indian. He has played 31 innings against RCB wherein he scored 838 runs at a superb batting average of 39.90.
Moreover, he has maintained a strike rate of 140.84. He has scored as many as four half-centuries against RCB. MS Dhoni has been in surreal form for CSK this season. He might have played lesser deliveries but he has well and truly created an impact during his short stay at the crease.
