If Chris Gayle clicks tonight for one more time, it would be a nightmare for CSK. Undoubtedly they would love to see his back at the earliest. RCB's batting lineup is headed by the Gayle power followed by Kohli and de Villiers. Bowling has been impressive in the presence of Vettori and Zaheer Khan. RCB is one of the best teams this year in the fielding department.

CSK vs RCB - Decider for the top spot

Can an IPL be more interesting than this? Just yesterday we came to know the final four teams. But on the last day of the round robin matches; we are still uncertain about the final four spots of these teams. Today's matches would decide the final four spots. Not to forget, this year's IPL has a different format where teams finishing on the top two positions have an added advantage over the third and fourth team.

CSK is currently placed at the top and a win here will cement their position on the top spot. Even a marginal loss here won't affect their position as they have a good net run rate. So a loss will finish them probably on second position. With more number of wins in their pockets, today's match has left out less uncertainties for CSK.

RCB has been excellent after Chris Gayle joined the party. Just a loss in their last match against Kings Eleven brought them on the second spot. A loss here may bring them on third or fourth position as they will have to depend on the result of Mumbai Indians Vs Kolkata Knight Riders result.

If Chris Gayle stays there for 7-8 overs, he can create nightmares for the oppositon. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers have to play an important role today. For CSK, Michael Hussey, Badrinath, Raina, Dhoni are all in an excellent form. As far as the recent form is concerned, both the teams have won four out of their five matches.
