Today at IPL 2022, CSK vs RCB: Superkings gasp for breath, up against Faf du Plessis’ in-form Bangalore
India Today
Today at IPL 2022, CSK vs RCB: Chennai Super Kings will be looking for their first points of this season when they take on traditional foes Royal Challengers Bangalore in match 22 of IPL 2022 on Tuesday.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are mostly known for sticking to their playing combinations even if they lose a few games. They aren’t among the ones to chop and change on a regular basis. But their story has been a tad different in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Having used up 16 of their players in only four games, the Super Kings have shown signs of vulnerability. Ravindra Jadeja hasn’t had the best of starts to his IPL captaincy stint. After winning the title last year, the four-time IPL champions are the current cellar dwellers this season.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), on the other hand, have made an impressive start to their sojourn under new skipper Faf du Plessis. After Odean Smith’s brilliance robbed them of a win against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their opening game, the Challengers have won three matches in a row.
RCB have every chance of going to the top of the points table if they win their next game. The Challengers, however, should be wary of the fact that the Super Kings are aware of Du Plessis’ method of approaching a game. Du Plessis played for CSK and was the second-highest run-scorer last season.
