Pitch Report
Batting paradise would be an understatement to describe Chinnaswamy Stadium. The pitch is an absolute belter and no score is big enough to defend. But we say the pitch act differently against DC in a day game. 180 would be a par score.

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions
Batter 1 & 2 - Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson OG Batter (1)
A top-order batter should be your blind pick in D3.
Faf has been in some surreal form off late with 177 runs at an SR of 143 in BBL and became the 1st centurion in SA 20. He scored 369 runs at an average of 41 (2nd highest). He was the MoM in the opening game for his 73. He scored 79 off 46 deliveries against LSG, 62 off 32 against his former team CSK and 84 (56) against PBKS. He has 343 runs at a SR of 166 with 23 sixes.
OG Batter (1) is one of the most promising Indian youngsters. He comes out with intent in every game and takes on the bowlers in PP. He has formed a formidable partnership with Buttler and RR have crossed 50 every single time except for once.
He has 180 runs in 6 games at a SR of 142 with 31 boundaries.
Bowler 1 & 2- Wanindu Hasaranga and Trent Boult
Hasaranga should be your automatic choice and probably the 1st pick in D3. He is arguably one of the best T20 bowlers at present. He has dismissed Sanju 5 times. In addition to that, he is a gun fielder and a handy batter. He took 26 wkts last season out of which 20 came in middle overs.
No one has taken more wkts than Boult in Powerplay post-2020. Boult vs Faf and Virat could significantly decide the outcome of the game as RCB have a weak batting lineup except for Glenn Maxwell.
Last 2 picks- Glenn Maxwell and Shimron Hetmyer
These 2 should be a no-brainer in D3. Maxwell has close to 1000 runs since 2021 and no one has a better SR than him. He has already played 2 match-defining innings this season and is a useful part-time bowler. He is the backbone of RCB’s middle order.
Hetmyer is someone you would define as consistently consistent. His returns are astonishing for someone who bats in that position where the rate of failure is high. Except for the last match he has produced
22*(16) vs SRH
36(18) vs PBKS
39*(21) vs DC
30*(18) vs CSK
56*(26) vs GT
Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions
RCB have seldom done well in Green Jersey and their batting issues run deeper if we take out the opening combination. Rajasthan started as favorites.

Pitch Report
One of the fastest outfields and a high-scoring ground. Last year 2 playoff games were held here and both were a run fest. Teams will opt to bowl 1st given the dew factor and short boundaries. The new ball could do some tricks early on as history suggests.
Probable XI for Rario D3 Prediction
Kolkata Knight Riders: Jason Roy, N Jagadeesan, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Shardul Thakur, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni, Mahesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Tushar Deshpande, Akash Singh

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions
Batter 1 & 2- Ruturaj Gaikwad and Venkatesh Iyer
Again going by the thumb rule, a top-order batter should be your blind pick in D3
Ruturaj Gaikwad is coming off an incredible home season in VHT and SMAT scoring 660 runs at 113 SR and 295 runs at 146 SR respectively. He did not have a great season last year but was the orange cap winner in the season before. He displayed a scintillating act of batting in the 1st game with 92 runs and followed it up with another 50 in the 2nd match. Though he has been slightly off-color in the past few games expects him to roar back strongly.
There was widespread criticism when Iyer was retained ahead of Gill but slowly iyer has started to repay the faith shown in him by scoring an 83 against GT and a scintillating 100 against MI ( First for KKR after McCullum.
Bowlers 1 and 2
Narine should be somewhat your default choice in D3. He is arguably one of the greatest T20 bowlers with almost 500 wkts at an eco of 6. Season after season he has contributed immensely for KKR and with the bat as well winning 2 MVP awards. He has provided breakthroughs every time he has been brought onto the bowl.
Theekshana bowled beautifully in Power play last season and picked up 6 wkts just an economy above 7. We can also bank on Matheesha the Baby Malinga who has bowled exceptionally so far in the 2 opportunities he has got with some class display of death bowling
Last 2 picks- Rinku Singh and Moeen Ali
Apart from last 2 encounters where he failed to make a mark, Rinku Singh has managed to score 196 runs in his last 5 innings at an astonishing SR of 180. Moreover, he has hit 17 sixes. The game is not over until Rinku Singh is out there as we have all witnessed in the last few games.
Moeen Ali is one of the most brutal strikers in t20 cricket and a must-pick in D3. with the utility he brings in with his off-spin. KKR has a few left-handers in their line up and the match-up against Moeen could decide the outcome of the game.
Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions
KKR has a lot of loopholes in the way they have structured their 11 and the kind of form CSK are in they start as favorites.
