RCB vs CSK Key battles:
Virat Kohli vs Khaleel Ahmed
Virat Kohli will look to replicate the performance he gave against DC at his home ground and will face the challenge of Khaleel Ahmed, who has been the only shining light for CSK in the fast bowling department.
Rajat Patidar vs Noor Ahmad
The battle between Rajat Patidar and Noor Ahmad will be fascinating to watch, as Rajat Patidar is known for his aggressive approach against the spinners.
Whereas Noor is known to pick up wickets in the middle overs and has done so for CSK in the current edition of the league, but hasn't had much support from the other end.
Sam Curran vs Josh Hazlewood
Sam Curran, who is coming on the back of a solid performance, will look to put on another strong display of batting when he faces an in-form Josh Hazlewood in the RCB vs CSK clash on Saturday.
Josh Hazlewood, on the other hand, will look to keep up the good work and get the better of Sam Curran in the initial few deliveries.
Dewald Brevis vs Krunal Pandya
Dewald Brevis will look to put pressure on Krunal Pandya, who has been in magnificent form in the tournament, and will look to carry his rich vein of form into the game against CSK.
