RCB vs CSK Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s IPL 2024 match – May 18, 2024

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be up against Chennai Super Kings (LSG) in the 67th match of the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, May 18. CSK had beaten RCB by six wickets in the season opener at Chepauk.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are coming off a 47-run victory over Delhi Capitals at the same venue. They are sixth in the standings with 12 points. However, RCB can still qualify for the playoffs if they beat CSK by 18 or more runs or by chasing down a 200-run target with 11 or more balls to spare.

On the other hand, the Chennai Super Kings are coming into the game on the back of a convincing five-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals. They are fourth in the IPL 2024 points table with 14 points.

Looking at the qualification scenario, if the game gets washed out due to bad weather, CSK can still easily qualify for the top four.

On that note, here are the three players you could pick as the captain/vice-captain for the RCB vs CSK Dream11 match.
