RCB vs KKR Dream11 Prediction

Chennai Super Kings, IPL 2021 defending champions, also lost their opening fixture like Lucknow Super Giants, against Kolkata Knight Riders. Former skipper MS Dhoni and the new captain, Ravindra Jadeja, proceeded to stitch an unbeaten 70-run partnership for the 6th wicket to bail CSK out of trouble. MS Dhoni scored his first fifty in nearly three years. CSK managed to put up 132 runs on the board but it was nowhere near enough for their bowlers to defend.

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad had a stellar season last year. He finished the tournament as the highest run-getter. In 16 matches, he managed to score 635 runs at an average of 45.36 and a strike rate of close to 140. He was dismissed without scoring against KKR in the opening fixture.

Devon Conway

As Faf du Plessis has joined RCB, CSK has added Devon Conway to their squad. In terms of attitude, the Kiwi opener resembles Faf du Plessis. Devon Conway will play his first IPL season this year. CSK bought him during IPL 2022 auction for Rs. 2 crores. He scored only 3 off 8 balls against KKR before being dismissed by Umesh Yadav, who also accounted for his opening partner Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali, the CSK all-rounder, finally joined Chennai Super Kings Squad on Monday morning. He’s finished his three-day quarantine period. The good news is that Moeen Ali will play in CSK’s second match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

Moeen Ali has been one of the best performers for the yellow army in 15 matches, Moeen Ali picked 6 wickets and made 357 runs with the highest score of 58 at a strike rate of 137.30 and hit 19 sixes and 31 fours for the MS Dhoni-led team.

Robin Uthappa

Robin Uthappa has played for various franchises since IPL 2008. Last season, the right-handed batsman scored 115 runs in 4 games for the Chennai Super Kings team with 1 fifty. He scored 28 against KKR before being stumped by Sheldon Jackson off Varun  Chakravarthy.

Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu will be the middle-order batsman for the team in the opening game against KKR in IPL 2022. CSK bought the right-handed batsman during the auction. Ambati Rayudu played for CSK in the last season too. He scored 257 runs in 13 innings with 2 fifties.

Ravindra Jadeja (capt)

Ravindra Jadeja, all-rounder, will lead the side as he has been handed over the captaincy for IPL 2022. Last season, Ravindra Jadeja was in fabulous form. He scored 227 runs in 12 innings and also picked 13 wickets. He will be a crucial player for the team.

MS Dhoni (wk)

MS Dhoni played a phenomenal knock of 50 from 38 balls that powered CSK to a decent score of 131 in the first innings against KKR in the ongoing IPL 2022, and he was involved in a 70-run stand with skipper Ravindra Jadeja.

MS Dhoni has struggled with the bat, scoring a combined total of 314 runs from 30 matches in the last two editions-IPL 2020 and IPL 2021. If his tally of 200 runs in IPL 2020 was disappointing, the following year was even worse as MS Dhoni aggregated only 114 runs.

Rajvardhan Hangargekar

Rajvardhan Hangargekar might be another pacer for the team in the opening game. Rajvardhan Hangargekar showed an impressive performance for India in U-19 World Cup 2022 a few months back. In the absence of Deepak Chahar, CSK might give an opportunity to Rajvardhan Hangargekar in the match against Lucknow in place of Shivam Dube, who disappointed against KKR.

Dwayne Bravo

Dwayne Bravo might be another all-rounder and pacer for the team in  IPL 2022. Dwayne Bravo was picked during the auction for Rs. 4.4 crores. In the last few seasons, Dwayne Bravo has played for CSK. Last season, he picked 14 wickets in 11 games for the team.

Dwayne Bravo equaled Lasith Malinga’s record for most wickets in the history of IPL after his valiant figures of 3/20 in CSK’s season-opening loss to KKR in Mumbai on Saturday. With the wicket of KKR’s new recruit Sam Billings in his final over on Saturday, Dwayne Bravo moved to 170 scalps.

Adam Milne

Adam Milne might be another pacer for CSK in the opening match of IPL 2022. Milne was picked during the auction for Rs. 1.9 crores. Last season, he was part of Mumbai Indians. He played 4 matches and scalped 3 wickets.

Tushar Deshpande

Mumbai fast bowler Tushar Deshpande made his debut for four-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings in their 2022 season opener against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. Tushar Deshpande, 26, was bought by CSK for the base price of Rs 20 lakh during the IPL 2022 mega auction earlier this year.
