IPL 8 CSK vs RCB: 6 players to watch out for

Chennai: Chennai Super Kings would seek to get back to winning ways while Royal Challengers Bangalore would hope to build on the momentum when they lock horns in an Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket match here on Monday.

Here are some key players who can would dominate the game.

Chennai Super Kings:

Suresh Raina: Suresh Raina has not been at his best in this edition of Indian Premier League. However, the left-hander has not really struggled either. With Chepauk wicket on a slower side, Raina can cash in with some big hits and could be more than handy with a ball as well.

Ashish Nehra: Purple Cap holder Ashish Nehra is defying age as he has been CSK's best bowlers in IPL 8. The lank left-arm pacer has been a crucial component in CSK rattling the opposition. No matter what the Chennai pitch has to offer, Nehra is likely to scalp a few wickets.

Brendon McCullum: It would be enticing to witness Brendon McCullum having a go at Mitchell Starc; his nemesis in World Cup 2015 final.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Mitchell Starc: Since his arrival for IPL 8, Mictehll Starc has done wonders to Royal Challengers Bangalore’s bowling attack. Not only has his presence offered some much needed sharpness to RCB’s attack but it had also gave confidence to other bowlers to raise their game.

AB de Villiers: While RCB won their last game, getting better of KKR in a thriller, AB de Villiers could not score many. However, the South African possesses all the arsenal to thwart CSK’s strong bowling attack.

Yuzvendra Chahal: Chahal has made sure that he does not fade away after a good show in one season of Indian Premier League. The young-leggie has been playing a pivotal role in RCB’s bowling attack and can be a trick customer on a rather slow Chepauk wicket.
