Chennai's core team is 30 years old. For example, both Dhoni and Shane Watson are 37, while Dwayne Bravo 35, Faf du Plessis 34, Ambati Rayudu and Kedar Jadhav 33 and Suresh Raina are 32 years old. Spinner Imran Tahir is 39 and Harbhajan Singh is 38. Indian leg spinner Karn Sharma (31) and fast bowler Mohit Sharma (30) are also 30 years old.
Chennai, which consistently performs well in the Indian Premier League, has always described age as a deterrent. This team has always been in the top four and its enthusiastic audience has always given opportunities to celebrate. While Chennai is a three-time champion, there are many big names in the Bangalore team yet, so far the title has not been won.
The result of Saturday's match will depend on the ability of the bowlers to cope with the pressure. Chennai's Ambati Rayudu and Ravindra Jadeja will be looking to make a place in the World Cup team. On the other hand, Bengal's fast bowler Umesh Yadav will also be looking at the place in the World Cup team based on the IPL performance.
Against RCB, Chennai have won 15 matches and seven losses while the result of one does not come out. The concern of RCB is also the availability of foreign players. Leg-spinner Yuswendra Chahal can be a trump card for him. But, they will also need proper rest.
