RCB make one change

October 25, 2020 15:06

Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has won the toss and elected to bat against Chennai Super Kings at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

RCB bring in Moeen Ali for Isuru Udana while CSK have two changes as Mitchell Santner and Monu come in for Josh Hazlewood and Shardul Thakur.

CSK have an uphill task when they face-off against RCB.

CSK's nightmarish tournament so far have seen them win just six points from 11 games and if they to still have a shot at play-offs, nothing but winning the next three games is a must for Dhoni's team.

RCB are coming on the back of two morale-boosting victories against Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders.

While AB de Villiers single-handedly fetched them victory against the Royals, pacer Mohammed Siraj tormented KKR by bowling a sensational spell, including a double-wicket maiden, in the eight-wicket victory over the two-time champions.

The pace trio of Chris Morris, Isuru Udana and Navdeep Saini have done well for the team, while spinners Washington Sundar and Yuzvendra Chahal have also proved effective.

RCB's strong batting line-up, led by captain Kohli, has also lived up to the billing. Young opener Devdutt Padikkal has looked in good touch, while de Villiers has been a key player.
