Shane Watson warns RCB to the threat of CSK -au Chepauku
After a dominant victory over Knight Kolkuta Riders in their introductory match, Royal Challengers Bengalur will ask to continue his winning momentum. However, the former Australian comprehensive pointed out that he would have to make strategic changes in his line.
Shane Watson said on Jiostar: “It will be a big challenge for RCB to go to Chepauk, especially given the quality of the bowlers at their disposal. RCB will probably need to adjust its team composition to confront CSK forces. But don’t make a mistake – Chepauk is the fort.”
Watson, who played for both CSK and RCB, believes that one of the biggest threats to Rajat Patidar and his team will be Chennai’s incredible attack on Chepauk Stadium. The former Australian versatile also welcomed Spin Trio Ravicharndran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad and Ravidra Jadej for their efficiency in the introductory game of the team against Mumbai Indians.

Aussie noted that CSK Spinners made it clear that they would be crucial in the game control, as conditions that are likely to favor Spin, RCB will need a solid plan to suppress the CSK attack that they do not fall into the same trap as the previous teams at Chepauk Stadium.
Watson added: “The whole CSK setting was built around the excellence in Chennai. Just look at three Spinners who were glowing at the introductory game against Mi-Ashwin, Jadeja and Noor Ahmad. They will be a real hand on that surface. The confidence that Noor Ahmad will have such an influence on his first game for CSK.
Significantly, Royal Challengers Bengalur is facing a difficult challenge against Chennai Super Kings, as they seek to break the 17-year victory without winning Chepauk. Their success will depend on smart strikes, especially against a strong CSK attack, not direct aggression.

Improved approach to Virat Kohli against Spin, including difficulties and offensive moves, will be crucial to them against Chennai, but he will also need support for other blows such as Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone. Fitness Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a major concern for them.
Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, will hope for a better performance of their middle order, while Shuvam Dube, Deepak Hood and Curran himself fought in the last match against Mumbaj Indians.
Rachin Ravandra and Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad must be enhanced and supported, while Mrs. Dhoni will also expect a quick fire if necessary against Bengalur.
