Pitch Report(Note: Final pitch report will be told on our telegram channel at the time of the toss):
MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
This wicket remains strictly neutral with spinners and batsmen getting a somewhat extra advantage. In the 2019 season spinners had got a lot of purchase from the surface however Chennai is not playing so most probably the curator will prepare a balanced wicket in this season. You can expect scores in the range of 150-170.

BLR Team Preview:
The Royal Challengers Bangalore side is still searching for their maiden title victory in the Indian Premier League. Despite having several T20 stalwarts in their line-up, the Virat Kohli-led side has fallen short year after year in the competition. After another disappointing last season, they will want to start their campaign on a high note. They will surely want to win the title in this season. They have many big names in the batting unit however the same can’t be said about their bowling. Talented youngster Devdutt Paaddikal is expected to miss the first game due to COVID 19.
Expected 4 Overseas Players: AB Devilliers, G Maxwell, D Christian, and K Jamieson/K Richardson
RCB Team News:
- Virat Kohli confirmed that he will open this season.
- D Sams is tested positive for COVID 19 while Devdutt Paddikal has joined the team after testing negative for the result.
Probable11 of the team:
- Virat Kohli: RHB
- Devdutt Paddikal: LHB (can miss the game but chances of playing are high as he has joined the team)
- AB de Villiers: RHB
- Glenn Maxwell: RHB+RAO
- D Christian: RHB+RAM
- Rajat Patidar: RHB/Shahbaz Ahmed: LHB+LAO (high chance as spinners get good advantage on this ground.)
