MUMBAI: The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have managed to defeat the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk only once, and that victory came during the inaugural IPL season in 2008. Virat Kohli, the star batter for RCB, is the only member of the current squad who was part of that historic win. As they prepare for their upcoming clash on Friday, Kohli will be eager to help RCB break the long-standing Chepauk curse.

RCB’s hopes of ending a 17-year drought hinge on their experienced batting lineup delivering a strong performance against a familiar rival. However, CSK’s home advantage on a pitch that traditionally favors spin bowlers makes the task challenging. The Super Kings boast a formidable spin attack, led by the experienced Ravindra Jadeja and the returning Ravichandran Ashwin. They have also strengthened their arsenal by adding Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad, which has already paid dividends, as seen in their recent win against the Mumbai Indians.
The Chepauk pitch is expected to play similarly in this encounter, and RCB’s batters, led by Kohli, will need to rise to the occasion. Historically, spin bowling has troubled Kohli, but he has made notable improvements over the past two years by employing shots like the sweep and slog sweep more effectively. He’ll need to draw on all of his experience and adaptability to navigate CSK’s spin threat on what promises to be an electrifying Friday evening.
