RCB Predicted XI vs CSK: Bangalore’s batting remains a major worry.

After losing their last three matches in the ongoing 2022 Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face an uphill task when they face a rejuvenated Chennai Super Kings at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. With 10 points from as many games, they are currently in fifth place. Chennai, on the other hand, thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 13 runs at the same venue in a match that saw MS Dhoni reclaim his captaincy.

RCB has struggled this season due to poor batting. They went all-out for the season’s lowest score of 68 and also failed to meet a modest target of 145 in another game. In their previous game, former RCB captain Virat Kohli’s cautious approach led to a below-par 170 on a batting track. While their middle order is still strong, RCB’s top order, led by captain Faf du Plessis, continues to be a source of concern.

The RCB XI for the crucial match against CSK is as follows…

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis are the openers.

Shahbaz, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maxwell, and Lomror are some of the spin options.

RCB are unlikely to make any changes to their line-up despite a poor batting performance against Gujarat Titans in the previous game.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
