The Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on the Chennai Super Kings in match no. 49 of the Indian Premier League 2022. The BLR vs CSK match will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on Wednesday, May 04, 2022.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore did have a good start to their campaign, however, the Faf du Plessis side seems to have lost their way in the recent matches. They have been devoid of wins in their last 3 matches and would like to turn the tide around as soon as possible. The Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, have had the worst possible time in the tournament. MS Dhoni has been reinstated as the captain ahead of their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai fans look at Captain Cool to turn the season around for them, which will be no less than a miracle.
