Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will play the 22nd match of the IPL 2022 on Tuesday. CSK have lost all their 4 matches in the tournament and are placed in the last position in the points tally. They lost the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have won their last 3 matches and are placed in the 3rd position in the points table with 6 points. They defeated Mumbai Indians in their previous match by 7 wickets after chasing the target of 152 runs in 18.3 overs.

Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the CSK vs RCB game:

1. Shivam Dube

Shivam Dube made his debut for CSK against Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening game of the tournament and could make only 3 runs. He batted in the number 4 position in the second match against Lucknow Super Giants and made 49 runs off 30 deliveries. In the next game against Punjab Kings, he was demoted in the batting order and came out to bat at the number 6 position. He scored 57 runs off 30 deliveries in that match, however, CSK went on to lose the match as no other batter contributed significantly. In the previous match, Shivam could make only 3 runs off 5 deliveries. He has not bowled in the last last 2 matches and might not do the same in this game. If he continues to bat in the lower middle order, he might not be able to do much for the team. You can avoid him in your fantasy team for this game.

2. David Willey

David Willey has played all 4 matches for RCB in the tournament. He has picked only a single wicket and has made only 18 runs. Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood is available for selection and RCB might replace Willey in this game. Hence, you can avoid Willey in your fantasy team for this match and pick some other bowlers.

3. Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel has left the bio-bubble to be with his family after the death of his sister on Monday. He is likely to be unavailable for selection in this match. Harshal will have to quarantine for at least 3 days before joining the bio-bubble. You can pick some other bowlers in your fantasy team for this game.
