IPL 2024: Top 3 player battles to watch out for in the RCB vs CSK match

The 68th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has come down to be the most important match of the season since one spot is left and two teams are still there to qualify. The most important match of the season will be between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) which might also be the last match where Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni might play against each other for one last time. 

Hence, the fans are eagerly waiting for this southern derby to kick off and are hoping to be not intruded by the rain. Apart from this, RCB vs CSK matches have always been fun since the audience gets a lot of entertainment courtesy of Kohli and Dhoni bond. The entire nation is awaiting a great match only if Bengaluru decides to not rain. 

Let's discuss the three key battles in the RCB vs CSK clash:

1. Virat Kohli vs Ravindra Jadeja:

One of the greatest in the field, Virat Kohli will make the most out of the last opportunity RCB has to qualify for the playoffs. Hence, he will be hungry for scoring runs and will look to smash the bowlers. Moreover, considering Ravindra Jadeja's performance in this year's IPL, seems like Kohli definitely has an upper edge on Thakur. He enjoys batting against the spinners, however, Jadeja knows Kohli very well as both of them played a lot of Cricket together. So, the battle will be a treat to watch for the fans.

2. Rachin Ravindra vs Mohammed Siraj:

CSK's Rachin Ravindra is picking up pace in the tournament and will be expected to play well in this epic clash. But RCB's Mohammed Siraj is in classic form and will have an eye on the Kiwi batter. This battle might turn out to be great for the viewers to watch if Rachin gets going during Siraj's spell because he will be a different beast and we have seen this before in the first match of the IPL 2024. So, the CSK fans will be hoping to see some fireworks off the Kiwi's bat to help CSK win the match. 

3. Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Yash Dayal:

Ruturaj Gaikwad is the best batter for CSK while Yash Dayal is the best bowler for RCB. This clash between the best will be the best since both of them will want to give their best for their teams. Gaikwad's batting has been exceptional this season as he has given some solid starts to the team in the powerplays. On the other hand, Dayal's tactics against the batters have worked immensely. So, if both players play well, there's a high chance of their team winning this clash.
