The SRH and RCB rivalry has been interesting over the years since 2016 and both teams have less batting depth comparatively as they depend heavily on their top-order batting lineup. RCB's main bowler Yuzvendra Chahal being out of form has been a concern for their team but a better performance is expected from him at Chepauk ground in the upcoming matches.
SRH's strength has been their bowling department and they have defended low totals over the years with the likes of Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma and T.Natarajan in their ranks.
