The great Indian Southern Derby makes its return in the IPL, after five weeks that must have felt like an eon since their first match this season. CSK headed into that match, their second of the season, with one win on the board: in the nine matches since, they have only been able to add on one more win. It’s been a season from hell for the CSK faithful, and their travel to the Chinnaswamy Stadium sees them visit a team for whom the story has been a polar opposite, sitting in the highest reaches of the table and seeking to all but guarantee their progression to the playoffs

"Hello from MCS, where the weather seems to be holding up well," greets Kaushik Rangarajan from the ground. "Quite an atmosphere outside the stadium with fans lined up on either side of the Queens road (including the median) to welcome the team buses. Good mix of red and yellow, and 7s and 18s out there, accompanied by a lot of banter, mostly healthy. There are also some cheekily customised white t-shirts with black vertical stripes and a reference to 2016 and 2017 seasons, for the occasion. Proper derby atmosphere that belies the fact that this match technically matters only to one team," he adds.

18:30 Local Time, 13:00 GMT: These two teams find themselves in unfamiliar territory at this stage of the season. Generally it has been Chennai Super Kings at the top half of the table looking to seal a top two spot while Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the bottom half with their calculators out trying to figure out a way to sneak into the playoffs. The places have reversed this season - Royal Challengers Bengaluru are at third while Chennai Super Kings are last and eliminated from the playoff race. The Super Kings are a champion team and being last would be hurting them, they would be playing for pride in these last four games but more importantly recognise the players who will help this team revive next year. The Royal Challengers are on a three match winning streak and have also broken their home jinx, they would want to keep up with the momentum as the teams above them won their respective games in the last two days.
