BANGALORE WILL BREAK THE DUCK

Hailing from the southern Indian city of Chennai, my heart always beats for Chennai Super Kings. This year, I have the strange feeling that Virat Kohli’s Bangalore Royal Challengers will beat Chennai in the final for their maiden title.

RCB quickly signed up in-form players such as Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga and Australian Tim David as replacements. But what makes RCB more dangerous is Kohli will be eager to prove his detractors wrong. And the Royal Challengers are only a few wins away from making the next stage.
