Chennai Super Kings v Royal Challengers Bangalore team news
Ruturaj Gaikwad has replaced MS Dhoni as skip on the eve of the tournament. It's a surprising move in terms of timing but one suspects it was kept in-house for long enough to ensure no panic.
Rachin Ravindra could well open the batting in the absence of Devon Conway. CSK may also find room for Sameeer Rizvi.
Possible XI: Gaikwad, Ravindra, Mitchell, Dube, Moeen, Jadeja, Dhoni, Thakur, Chahar, Deshpande, Pathirana
Virat Kohli is back. Not surprising, then, that the old RCB problems remain. The top order with the bat is pretty good, there's not much after that and they have one again neglected the bowling. Consider that Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga and Josh Hazlewood have all been let go in recent years.
Possible XI: Kohli, Du Plessis, Patidar, Maxwell, Green, Chauhan, Lomror, Karthik, Deep, Topley, Siraj
