Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Chance of Winning
Chennai Super Kings would be hoping for a better start to the campaign this term as they take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season opener. Last season they lost the opening game against Gujarat Titans but managed to go all the way as they won their fifth IPL title and would be hoping to repeat the feat this season.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru struggled for consistency last season as they won seven wins in 14 games and ended up sixth on the table as they were knocked out of the group stages. Chepauk Stadium hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for RCB and as per our calculations, CSK are favourites in the upcoming game.
- Chennai Super Kings’ chances of winning - 59%
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s chances of winning - 41%

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Deepak Chahar had a brilliant season last year, even though he struggled for consistency away from home, at home he was brilliant. In five matches at Chepauk, Chahar bagged nine wickets and in the last four matches at the venue he has ended the games with 2, 2, 3 and 2 wickets which makes us believe he would bag over 1.5 wickets in the upcoming game.
Virat Kohli would once again play an important role this season. Even though Royal Challengers Bengaluru did not have a great season, Kohli ended the campaign with 639 runs. Kohli has struggled at Chepauk as in the last four matches, he has scored 6, 33, 33 and 5 which makes us believe Kohli would struggle in the upcoming game and would score under 35.5.

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Betting Odds
Chennai Super Kings to have a better opening partnership than Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings head into this fixture hoping to have a positive start to the season. Both teams would be in contention for the top four finish hence a positive start in this fixture could give a big boost for either side for the rest of the campaign. Royal Challengers have a dismal record at this venue against the defending champions as they have lost seven of the last eight games at the Chepauk. In the last four matches at the venue, Virat Kohli has scored 6, 33, 33 and 5 with an average of 19.25 runs and Faf du Plessis who would open the innings with Kohli for RCB has scored 43, 1, 39 and 6. On the flip side in the last five matches at home, CSK has managed an opening stand of 86, 46, 32, 31 and 87 which makes us believe CSK would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Top Team Batters
Ruturaj Gaikwad to be Chennai Super Kings’ top batter
Ruturaj Gaikwad had a sensational season last year as his growth with the Chennai Super Kings has been sensational. With the absence of Devon Conway due to injuries, the opus would be on the young man’s shoulder this season. With 590 runs last year, he was one of most consistent batsman for CSK which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Faf du Plessis to be Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s top batter
Faf du Plessis was the shining light in what was a disappointing season for Royal Challengers Bengaluru last year. With 730 runs, he was the leading run scorer for RCB and in the last game against CSK, Du Plessis scored 62 off 33 balls which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Top Team Bowlers
Ravindra Jadeja to be Chennai Super Kings’ top bowler
Ravindra Jadeja’s importance in the Chennai Super Kings line up is huge. Jadeja had a sensational tournament last season as he ended up with 20 wickets and was one of the most trusted weapons for CSK in the title winning campaign which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Mohammed Siraj to be Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s top bowler
Mohammed Siraj had a brilliant campaign last season as with 19 wickets, he is the leading wicket taker for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last campaign. In the last game against Chennai Super Kings, Siraj ended the game with best bowling figures for RCB which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
