| CSK vs RCB IPL 2022 Preview Four-time champions Chennai have not played the kind of cricket they are known for under Ravindra Jadeja's leadership. Jadeja has so far failed to lead from the front. Navi Mumbai, Pretr. After suffering four consecutive defeats in IPL 2022, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will have to perform better in all areas of the game in their match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday to regain their lost confidence. Head coach Stephen Fleming has also admitted that four consecutive defeats have shaken the confidence of the defending champions. Four-time champions Chennai have not played the kind of cricket they are known for under Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja has so far failed to lead from the front. Senior players like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu and Dwayne Bravo will have to shoulder more responsibility in this crisis situation. CSK have scored more than 200 runs in one match so far, but their batsmen could not play in the remaining three matches. They will now face RCB's formidable bowling attack, which includes spinners Wanindu Hasaranga, David Willey and Muhammad Siraj. Young Ruturaj Gaikwad is yet to walk and needs to play a big innings. All-rounders Moeen Ali and Shivam Dubey will also have to take more responsibility. Fleming admitted that the team is missing pacer Deepak Chahar, who has not played a match due to injury. “Availability of players is an issue and we have so far underperformed in all three departments – batting, bowling and fielding. We need reforms in all departments. RCB on the other hand have done well in all departments so far and the team is full of confidence. Opener Anuj Rawat scored a half-century against Mumbai Indians, while Virat Kohli also scored. Captain Faf du Plessis is capable of tearing down any attack. All the three batsmen of RCB's top order are in good form right now. Dinesh Karthik has been playing the role of a finisher for RCB and engineer-turned-cricketer Shahbaz Ahmed has also impressed with his performance so far. Barring Bravo, no one else has been able to impress in Chennai's bowlers. Mukesh Chaudhary has proved to be the weak link for him so far. |
