CSK vs RCB Head to Head: IPL Stats

csk-vs-rcb-head-to-head-ipl-stats

The team which has won 3 championships and narrowly missed the fourth ? Chennai Super Kings. A team that has reached the play offs every single season of IPL. Sailing through pressure with poise, CSK is a winner in itself. Filled with experience, talent and power, they refuse to be derailed no matter what hits them.



<h2>IPL 2020 CSK Squad Analysis:</h2>



Narayan Jagadeesan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KM Asif , Ravindra Jadeja, M Vijay, MS Dhoni (C), Josh Hazlewood ,Kedar Jadhav, Harbhajan Singh, Karn Sharma, Piyush Chawla, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Imran Tahir , Deepak Chahar, Faf du Plessis, Shardul Thakur, Mitchell Santner, Dwayne Bravo, Lungi Ngidi, Sam Curran, Monu Kumar, Shane Watson, Sai Kishore



In the recent auctions, CSK has cleverly added weight to their already robust spin department by picking up Piyush Chawla and Sai Kishore. Sam Curran and Josh Hazelwood will bolster the pace department with their firepower. What a well balanced team CSK is with plenty of choices among good players. This comes so handy when you need to rest or backup a player.



Chennai Super Kings need no superman,



Win on their own, Yes they can!



<h2>IPL 2020 UAE : Team CSK Strengths</h2>



<ul><li>Dhoni as a captain, cool, calm, composed, consistet, talented, experienced, shrewd. CSK is basking in his glory!</li><li>Batting pack ? There is collective spirit in the batsmen of CSK. They deliver.</li><li>Team Spinners ? Ahoy Captain! ? The kind of spinners CSK has is not seen in any other team. &nbsp;Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Karan Sharma, Piyush Chawla,&nbsp;Imran Tahir, Mitchell Santner and R Sai Kishore</li><li>Team Pacers ?

<h2>IPL 2020 UAE : Team CSK Opportunities</h2>



<ul><li>Ruturaj Gaikwad : a player so powerful who could fill the shoes of Suresh Raina. He is touted to be the next big name.

<h2>DREAM11 IPL 2020 Team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Prediction&nbsp;</h2>



This is the strongest team in the tournament. They are expected to reach the playoffs by all chances. They cannot lose a match unless they make mistakes which is not expected of their experienced team and captain.



Individual Player Analysis :



M.S.Dhoni - The most successful Indian captain, the agile wicketkeeper, the finisher who led CSK to 7 finals of the IPL in 12 seasons.



Murali Vijay - a sturdy batsman and an opener for CSK. He can give a good start.



Ambati Rayadu ? This is an important season for him to become the key batsman for CSK. Being a top order batsman he should give consistent good performances.



Faf Duplesis - The most important overseas batsman. He will play a major role in the batting department and he is capable of doing it.



Shane Watson - The batsman of all seasons and all pitches. Comes the occasion, comes the man - he is going to make big scores.



Ravindra Jadeja - the best all-rounder in the team. More than his batting, he can win matches by his bowling and fielding.



Kedar Jadav - another good middle order batsman.



Sam Curran - the all-rounder whose swing bowling is best suited for T20 matches.



Dwane Bravo - the consistent all-rounder who is always in the game with his bowling ,his batting and fielding.



Imran Tahir and Mitchell Santner are both very good spinners in addition to Indians Piyush Chawla and Karan Sharma.



The pace bowlers Hazelwood, Deepak Chahar, Lungi Ngidi, and Shardul Thakur form a formidable group.



in addition there are the youngsters of India - Rutraj Gaikward, Narayan Jagdeeshan and Sai Krishna who may&nbsp;get opportunities to play.



<h2>The Best XI of CSK</h2>



<ul><li>1.Murali Vijay</li><li>2.Ambati Rayudu?</li><li>3.Faf Du Plessis</li><li>4.Shane Watson</li><li>5.M.S.Dhoni</li><li>6.Kedar Jadav</li><li>7.Ravindra Jadeja</li><li>8.Shardul Thakur</li><li>9.Piyush Chawla</li><li>10.Josh Hazelwood</li><li>11.Lungi Ngidi/Sam Curran</li></ul>



<h2>A treat for our readers. Here we have a special prediction just for you!</h2>

Top 4:



<ul><li>1.CSK</li><li>2.MI</li><li>3.DC</li><li>4.RCB or SRH</li></ul>

Will MS Dhoni lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL2021? All you need to know. Fans are curious to know about MS Dhoni?s stand in next year?s IPL. Will MS Dhoni lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL2021? All you need to know.



Chennai Super Kings had a very unfortunate year in IPL this season. CSK was the first team to get knocked out of the IPL2020. CSK fans were not used to these situations as they have a clean track record in IPL. Having qualified in every season of IPL for playoffs, CSK fans were disappointed with the performance this time. MS Dhoni and Co. lost 8 matches out of 14 they played and remained second last in the points table.



<h2>MS Dhoni to lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2021:</h2>



It is apparent, MS Dhoni will lead Chennai Super Kings in the next year IPL, which is not too far away. Kasi Vishwanathan said, ?MS Dhoni will lead the side in next edition of IPL too.? ?One bad year does not mean we have to change everything?, he added.



?Yes, definitely. I am very confident that Dhoni will lead CSK in 2021. He has won three titles for us in the IPL. This is the first year we have not qualified for the playoffs. No other team has done that. One bad year does not mean we will have to change everything,? Viswanathan told TOI



<h2>MS Dhoni on his conformation for IPL 2021:</h2>



During the last match of Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab, Danny Morrison asked Dhoni whether this will be his last appearance in IPL. To which Dhoni gently had a two-word answer ?Definitely Not?.



Danny Morrison: Could this be MSD your last game ever in Yellow?



MS Dhoni: ?Definitely Not.?



Mahendra Singh Dhoni also confessed that they need to change the core of the team before the next edition of IPL. And want to purchase some talented and firing players for CSK.



?We need to slightly change our core group and look for the next ten years. At the start of the IPL, we made a team and it served well for us. There comes a time where you have to shift a bit, change a bit and hand it over to the next generation.? said MS Dhoni.



<h2>Gautam Gambhir on Chennai Super Kings:</h2>



Chennai needs to update its squad for the next year?s IPL. Also, they need to be active in the next season of IPL, said Gambhir.



?CSK needs to revamp their entire squad. They have many talented players in the team but most of them won?t continue. They have to change them, age is not on their side. Most of the players will change. CSK is not seen very active at auctions but in 2021 IPL auctions they probably will be the most active team?, said Gambhir to ESPNCricinfo.?

English batter James Vince has expressed his displeasure over the No-Objection-Certificate (NOC) of the England Cricket Board (ECB). He believes that the ECB is giving preference to the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in it's NOC policy. 
Recently, the 33-year-old batter thought that it will be better to leave Domestic Cricket in order to play in the PSL, but now he said that the NOC policy of the ECB is not right. He also went on to make a massive statement that how PSL is better than the IPL.
<h2>'Giving preference to Pakistan Super League (PSL)is a better decision...'</h2>
In a conversation with ESPNCricinfo, James Vince said that apart from me, many other players have failed to understand the NOC policy of the England and Wales Cricket Board. We weren't able to understand why the IPL is getting preference over the Pakistan Super League in the policy of the England Cricket Board? He said that the entire matter is decided by the relationship of the BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board with the England Cricket Board, but I believe that giving preference to the Pakistan Super League over the IPL would have been a better decision, but it is not so.
<h3>In what way is the PSL better than the IPL? </h3>
The experienced English batter believes that the PSL is better because it last for less days in comparison to the cash-rich Indian T20 league. In such a situation, if the English players play in the Pakistani Super League, then their chances of missing International Cricket will be less too. 
Let us tell you that recently the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) released it's new NOC policy and in accordance to that policy, if the Three Lions are scheduled to play any international game, then an English player won't be allowed to participate in any t20 league, but if the IPL is taking place, then they can definitely continue to take part in the Indian T20 league.

Team India will be back in action as they will be facing the English challenge. Both boat teams will lock horns in a 5-match T20I series. This will begin with the first game on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Both teams have a number of superstars representing either side.
That will make this contest great for the fans. There are four in the top six T20I batting stars who will be playing in the series. These two teams have produced many nail-biting battles in the past, and we can expect one in the first game. Below, we will talk about three player battles to watch out for in the first IND vs ENG T20I.
<h2>Three Player Battles to watch out for in the first IND vs ENG T20Is.</h2>
1. Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami
Mohammed Shami will be back in action after missing out on more than 16 months due to injury. But he is back and will be bowling the new ball. He will be up against Jos Buttler.
Both are very important for their teams and have been up against each other many times in the past. Shami has dismissed Buttler nine times in international cricket. In T20Is, Shami has dismissed Buttler once in 11 balls and given away 23 runs.
2. Suryakumar Yadav vs Adil Rashid
Suryakumar Yadav will be leading the home team and is coming into this clash with form under his belt. He is India's best batter and the highest-ranked T20I batter in the world. India will want him to score runs here and lead the team to win.
He is good against spin, but Adil Rashid knows how to outfox good batters. Rashid is the no. 1 ranked T20I bowler. Rashid has dismissed Suryakumar once in four balls in T20I, and it will be a great battle to watch out for.
3. Phil Salt vs Arshdeep Singh 
Phil Salt is the no. 2 ranked T20I batter and is very dangerous when he gets going. He is very dangerous and can win the game single-handedly. He was unstoppable for KKR and will be playing at the same venue, Eden Gardens, and will be hoping to fire once again.
Arshdeep Singh is India's premier bowler in this format, and his record against right-hander is great. This will be a crucial battle for the game. Because whoever wins it will give their team a big advantage.

The 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy is set to be played from the 19th of February in Pakistan with the Shaheens taking on New Zealand in the opening encounter. The Indian Team will play all of their Champions Trophy fixtures in the city of Dubai but Pakistan will still act as the official hosts of the tournament. 
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had refused to send the Indian Cricket Team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, after which the Dubai Hybrid-Model was adopted for the 2013 Champions Trophy winners. Now, a news report has come out claiming that the name of Pakistan, hosts of the tournament will not be written on the Champions Trophy jersey of Team India. 
Let us tell you that during ICC tournaments, the name of the host countries is mandatorily written on the jersey of all participating teams. West Indies &amp; the USA were the host nations of the 2024 T20 World Cup in June of 2024. 
Like all the other participating teams, the names of the West Indies and the USA were also written on the jersey of Team India. Similarly, Pakistan are the official hosts of the Champions Trophy but a news report of Geo Super claims that Pakistan's name is not going to be written on the jersey of the Men in Blue.
An official of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), while having a conversation with the news agency IANS, said that the BCCI is bringing politics into the sport of Cricket. Earlier, the BCCI had reportedly refused to send skipper Rohit Sharma to Pakistan for the opening-ceremony of Champions Trophy 2025.
<blockquote>
Speaking to the news agency on the basis of anonymity, official of the PCB said, "They (BCCI) are trying to bring politics into our beloved sport of Cricket, which isn't good for the sport at all. They refused to send their team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. They do not want to send their National Team's skipper to Pakistan for the opening-ceremony. Now, multiple reports are claiming that BCCI does not want the host country's name (Pakistan) to be written on their jersey in the Champions Trophy. We are very sure that the Governing body of Cricket (ICC) will not allow this to happen and they will surely support Pakistan."
</blockquote>

<h2>India to play their first Champions Trophy 2025 match on 20th of February</h2>
It's worth noting that Champions Trophy 2025 will kick off from the 19th of February. The Rohit Sharma-led will play their first match of the competition versus Asian-Rivals Bangladesh on the 20th of February in the city of Dubai.

IPL 2025 Lucknow Super Giants: The stage is set for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to turn a new leaf in the 2025 IPL season. After a high-stakes mega auction held in Jeddah, the franchise has made bold moves, with none bolder than acquiring Rishabh Pant for a record-breaking INR 27 Crore, making him the most expensive player in IPL history. Adding to the excitement, Pant has been named captain, marking a fresh beginning for the team.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_678f13f7ae1e6.jpg" alt="">
Pant expressed his gratitude and determination at the unveiling ceremony: "I will give my 200% and that's my commitment to you. Looking forward to a new beginning, with new energy, and just have a blast out there." His enthusiasm mirrors LSG's ambitions as they look to make a strong impact this season.
<h2>Strengths of LSG: A Solid Batting Core</h2>
LSG's biggest asset this year is their formidable batting lineup. With heavyweights like Rishabh Pant, David Miller, Nicholas Pooran, and the young Ayush Badoni, the team has a blend of experience and raw talent. The middle order is particularly strong, promising stability and fireworks when needed. Former Indian cricketer and LSG mentor Zaheer Khan noted: "We have lots to achieve, and you personally [Pant] have a lot to give to this beautiful game of cricket."
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_678f13f5b6f7f.jpg" alt="">
The inclusion of players like Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh adds depth and flexibility to the squad. The batting order is well-equipped to handle pressure situations, which could be pivotal in their quest for the playoffs.
<h2>Weaknesses of LSG: A Bowling Department Under Pressure</h2>
Despite their strong batting, LSG's bowling lineup lacks the same level of assurance. The pace attack, led by Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan, shows potential but lacks experience in crunching IPL moments.
With young bowlers like Mayank Yadav and Shamar Joseph yet to establish themselves, the bowling unit might struggle against seasoned batting lineups. The management will need to focus on building confidence and strategy for their bowlers.
<h2>Opportunities in LSG: Spotlight on Young Talent</h2>
The mega auction saw LSG invest heavily in young and promising players. This season provides a golden opportunity for these talents to showcase their skills on a big stage, potentially paving their way into international cricket. Players like Arshin Kulkarni and Digvesh Singh will look to learn from veterans and make the most of their chances.
Pant emphasized backing players and fostering confidence: "If you give confidence and trust to a player, he will do things which you can't even imagine for you and for the team." His leadership style could unlock new dimensions in LSG's performance.
<h2>Threats for LSG: Fragile Foundations in Key Areas</h2>
LSG’s Achilles heel lies in their overreliance on top-order stars. If players like Pant, Miller, or Pooran fail in a game, the middle and lower order might struggle to shoulder the responsibility. Additionally, inconsistent form from key players like Marsh and Markram adds an element of uncertainty. The team also carries the baggage of missing playoffs last season, which could play on their minds.
<h2>Rishabh Pant: A Leader with a Vision</h2>
Pant brings leadership experience, having captained Delhi Capitals, and a fresh perspective after recovering from personal challenges, including his near-fatal road accident. Zaheer Khan reflected on his journey: "To see you grow as a fine cricketer... inspiring a new style of play, is commendable." Under his leadership, LSG aims to play fearless and entertaining cricket.
Owner Sanjiv Goenka has ambitious goals for the franchise. Drawing inspiration from IPL giants like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, he stated: "Support us, and I assure you that LSG will not disappoint you. You fall down, stand up, run faster." With seasoned mentors like Zaheer Khan and head coach Justin Langer in the dugout, LSG is building a team culture focused on consistency and resilience.
As the season approaches, LSG fans have much to look forward to. The combination of experienced players, promising young talent, and a dynamic captain promises a thrilling campaign. With a fearless attitude and renewed focus, LSG is ready to take the IPL 2025 by storm.

Lucknow Super Giants start afresh for IPL 2025 under Rishabh Pant’s leadership. With a strong batting lineup and young talent, the team aims to overcome challenges and play fearless, exciting cricket.

Rishabh Pant leads LSG in IPL 2025. Backed by power-packed batting and emerging talents, they’re set for a thrilling season.

Cricketing action is back in India as the Suryakumar Yadav-led team prepares to fully engage in the forthcoming five-match T20 International Series versus England. This series starts from the 22nd of January onwards in Kolkata and post the conclusion of the T20I series, both teams will then lock horns in a three-match One-Day International Series which commences from the 6th of January and this series will be important for the Men in Blue as it will help them in preparing for the Champions Trophy. 
The Blue Army has also started practicing in the nets ahead of the white ball assignment versus England. Elite Pacer Mohammed Shami is also a part of the T20I squad and he will make his much-awaited return to the team after a span of 14 months. 
Watch the video of Shami's training <a href="https://x.com/BCCI/status/1881189914370293788?t=co7Kx9CQBUDsTOFHHNFbqg&amp;s=19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>
<h2>Shami's stormy performance in the nets after returning from his injury</h2>
All eyes were on fast bowler Mohammed Shami in the nets practice who bowled with his left knee heavily bandaged. First, he started warming up slowly under the supervision of bowling coach Morne Morkel. Initially running with small steps, Shami bowled for about an hour. After this, he did fielding practice to test his knee.
The 34-year-old slowly started to witness his fitness improve as he found his rhythm and bowled in a quick manner with a long run-up. He troubled young Indian batters like Tilak Varma and Abhishek Sharma in the nets and gave a tough challenge to the duo with a quick movement and bounce of the surface. 
<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ghvk9BpXEAAKF9b?format=jpg&amp;name=medium" alt="Image" width="288" height="288" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">

But, young Dhruv Jurel had some other plans as he explored the aggressive route by taking on Shami and made him go through a tough test. Despite the tough net bowling session versus the wicketkeeper-batsman, 34-year-old Shami continued to bowl in a quick manner for 45 minutes and did not seek any kind of aid from the strength &amp; conditioning coach or the physio of the Indian Team. 
After toiling hard in the nets, Shami practiced bowling a particular length with Morkel, where he targeted two stumps with accuracy. All of these signs are looking really positive for the Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer and he will surely be looking to play an important role in helping the Men in Blue win the T20i and the One-Day International series versus the Three Lions.
