Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach Simon Katich called the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) 'master' and said they have huge respect for the franchise. Both the teams will clash on Sunday (April 25) at the Wankhede Stadium.

RCB are currently at the top of the points table with 8 points, followed by CSK at the number two spot with six points. Both franchises have played four matches each.

"Dhoni is a master, isn't he? They are sitting at the top with three wins, they have had a fantastic start, they have fantastic players, we have a huge amount of respect for CSK, it is going to be great game, we have seen some great games in Mumbai already," he said.

Super Kings' batting line-up has done well this season. They have a good batting depth which allows their batters to attack freely. "CSK has a very damaging batting lineup but we know our bowling lineup has performed well this season," added Katich in a video posted on the official Twitter handle of RCB.

Speedster Kane Richardson, who featured in the RCB playing eleven in his first game of the season against Rajasthan Royals, said they will need to come up with a plan against CSK's batting line-up.

"It was enjoyable to finally play. It has been good watching the boys play in the first three games but it was good to finally get out there and play and be a part of the winning team. I have been rusty myself, it was great," said Richardson.

"It all depends on the conditions at the Wankhede. Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad, are in form and they are batting well, so we will come up with some plans to stop them. They have experience throughout their team, they have won a lot of IPLs so it is going to be a really good game," he added.
