Chennai vs Bangalore Match Prediction
The stage is set for the biggest T20 league in the world, starting March 22.
Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the opening game of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The contest will be played at the iconic Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.
The return of MS Dhoni on the field is something fans have been seeking for over a year now, and the elation of seeing Virat on the field again after 2 months of absence from cricket is what makes this game a must watch.
