What they said:

"It feels really good talking to Mohammed Siraj. He's an amazing bowler, he's the No.1 ODI bowler and he's been doing well for RCB for quite a long time. He just told me, first game there'll be nerves, 'so you don't worry about that. Believe in yourself and do whatever you've been doing all this while. And just enjoy yourself.' Every time he came and spoke to me , he said the same thing: 'Enjoy yourself and execute whatever you want to do.," - Vyshak Vijaykumar had Mohammed Siraj in his ears through the entirety of his debut game against Delhi Capitals.

"We've had some classic contests with them in the past, whether in Chennai or here in Bangalore. So we are expecting nothing different. The main message to the players is to enjoy it because you don't get a chance to play in these sort of environments too often, so really try and execute your skills as well as you can but really enjoy the experience because it's a fantastic occasion to be a part of." - Michael Hussey, on the RCB-CSK contest.

Dhoni himself

Idk how CSK is gonna manage its bowling lineup.

Jese he koyi player sahi karta hain woh injured ho jaata hain.

While Chennai will be coming into the game on the back of a loss, Bangalore will look to capitalise on their win from their previous game.

Led by MS Dhoni, Chennai will be keen on registering their third win of the IPL 2023. Despite a minor setback in their previous game, the four-time champions will come forth and will most likely give it their all to stay in the race for qualification for the playoffs. Bangalore, on the other hand, would be brimming with confidence after their recent win against Delhi Capitals as they defeated them by 23 runs.

Probable best batter

Virat Kohli:

Ace Indian batter Virat Kohli has been in sensational form in the ongoing IPL 2023. With a half-century in his most recent game, the 34-year-old would be expected to take the attack to the opposition and amass some very important runs for the hosts in the forthcoming game.

Probable best bowler

Ravindra Jadeja:

One of the best all-rounders in world cricket, Ravindra Jadeja, would be expected to make a difference with the ball against Bangalore. The 34-year-old was exceptional in Chennai’s last game, and the four-time champions would depend on his services to provide them with important breakthroughs.
