Analysis:
Bangalore have been playing good cricket but in patches. The 2016 finalists have a great batting lineup with stars like Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik who have been playing important knocks but they just have not been consistent enough with DK being their lone saviour in the early phase. Their bowling department has looked dominant with Josh Hazlewood and Wanindu Hasaranga who have been putting up great performances but they need to be smarter as a unit.
Chennai, meanwhile, have won three games as their team has finally come together and is looking like a formidable unit. Their batting looks solid with the return of form by Ruturaj Gaikwad. Ambati Rayudu has been a bank for them too and when Shivam Dube has also made his utility felt in a few games. Similarly, their bowling has also improved with impactful performances by Maheesh Theekshana and Mukhesh Chowdhary.
