Preview
Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni will be pitted against each other in match 35 of the Indian T20 League. Sharjah will also host the first match of the season and it is definitely going to be a blockbuster. Chennai won the previous encounter during the first leg thanks to Ravindra Jadeja whose all-round show propelled his team. Chennai also beat Mumbai in their previous game and are in good spirits ahead of the game.
On the other hand, Bangalore lost their game to Kolkata after scoring only 92 runs with the bat. Their bowlers didn’t have much to do and the team will be looking to improve on their effort this time around. The likes of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell should step up for Bangalore to have a chance in this encounter.
