IPL 2018, CSK vs RCB: Dhoni won the toss and chose to bowl first

MS Dhoni has won the toss and chose to bowl first.

The match today is between the two most successful skippers Indian cricket has produced in recent times. Speaking of the two skippers, MS Dhoni has been able to drive his team to the victories successfully in the IPL this season but same can not be said about Virat Kohli as he has been struggling with his team. He has been performing well in terms of individual performances but has not been able to steer other players the same way.

Virat Kohli has been in the ominous form in the IPL 2018 as he is the only batsman from Royal Challengers Banglore who has been consistent with his performances throughout. Though none of his knocks proved to be helpful to RCB in winning the matches, his knocks have proved to be crucial in RCB's overall performances.

Speaking of Chennai Super Kings, there is apparently no problem with the team and the team doesn't need to make any significant changes in their game plan or strategy. Moreover, CSK has been the most consistent team in the Indian Premier League so far making it to the qualifiers.
