On Monday, April 17, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) led by Faf du Plessis will face the four-time champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.

While Chennai will enter the game on the heels of a loss, Bangalore will seek to capitalize on their previous victory. 

Chennai will be eager to record their third win of the IPL 2023, led by MS Dhoni. Despite suffering a modest setback in their previous game, the four-time champions will likely give it their all to remain in contention for a playoff berth. Bangalore, on the other hand, would be overflowing with confidence following their recent 23-run victory over Delhi Capitals.
