RCB’s playing 11 against CSK will change, Navdeep Saini’s return possible

IPL 2021: In the Indian Premier League season 14, today the Royal Challengers Bangalore will clash with Chennai Super Kings. Despite suffering a crushing defeat against KKR, Virat Kohli’s team is unlikely to change much. Virat Kohli, however, can give Navdeep Saini a chance in the playing 11 considering the helpful pitch for the fast bowlers.

RCB showed a great performance in the first half of IPL 14. The team remained ahead in the playoff race by winning five out of seven matches. But after a long break, the team’s rhythm looked deteriorating. In the match against KKR, both the team’s batting and bowling proved to be a flop and they had to face defeat by 9 wickets.

RCB can make a big change in the match against Chennai Super Kings. So far, UAE pitches have helped the fast bowlers a lot. In such a situation, Virat Kohli can give a chance to Navdeep Saini, who bowls at a speed of 150 km, in the playing 11.

Harshal Patel may be dropped

Navdeep Saini has been the fastest Indian bowler to bowl in IPL in the last two seasons. Saini, however, has not yet lived up to the team’s expectations and has taken 17 wickets in 27 matches. However, Saini is such a bowler whose balls get a lot of bounce. Seeing this quality, Saini can be given a chance in the playing 11.

However, it will not be easy for Virat Kohli to make this change as Harshal Patel will have to sit out in Saini’s playing position. Harshal Patel has so far taken 17 wickets by playing 8 matches in this season and is the purple cap holder.
