Match 47 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 edition will see the three-time champions and top-ranked MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face the inexperienced and inconsistent Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. This will be the evening game on Saturday (October 2), after Mumbai Indians (MI)-Delhi Capitals (DC) face-off.

Talking about the form of both sides, CSK are the only unbeaten team in the UAE leg and became the first team to qualify for the playoffs after their win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their previous outing. On the other hand, RR have won only a solitary game in the second and final leg and have squandered three chances of entering the playoffs with hat-trick of defeats.&nbsp;

Thus, it will be a herculean task for the one-time winners to stop a rampant CSK line-up. However, the law of averages can catch up with the Yellow Army. If that has to happen, they would hope for it to be done with it before the playoffs.&nbsp;

Match prediction for CSK vs RR clash:&nbsp;Given their rankings in the points table and the current form, CSK start as overwhelming favourites and are expected to romp past RR.

CSK, however, will hope for Suresh Raina and Dhoni to turn up and deliver the goods with the bat. A 155-plus scoring game on cards with the Yellow Army likely to attain their fifth successive win in the UAE leg.

CSK vs RR, IPL 2021 prediction today: Who will win Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals match?

Match 44 of the IPL 2021 edition will see the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face the Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah on Thursday (September 30). As the tournament has reached the business end with the league stages about to get over soon, the three-time winners CSK will leave no stone unturned to bolster their position in the top-two versus a struggling SRH camp.&nbsp;

The SRH franchise will head into this encounter on the back of a spirited win over Rajasthan Royals (RR), in Dubai, early this week. However, facing the in-form and well-oiled Chennai line-up won't be an easy task for the new-look SRH team, sans David Warner. It will be interesting to see how Jason Roy tackles the likes of Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo and Moeen Ali, etc. If he gets going once again, he can set the stage a platform for his bottom-lying side.&nbsp;

On the other hand, CSK will try to tweak their playing XI in order to know their best combination with&nbsp;playoffs spot now more or less certain. It will be interesting to see if both Bravo and Sam Curran now get the nod from the team management.&nbsp;

Match prediction for CSK vs SRH: On paper, it doesn't look like the clash will go down the wire given how strong CSK have been this season, especially since it resumed in the UAE. However, they still need one win to guarantee a slot in the last four, hence, they will be hungry to taste success versus Hyderabad. The powerplay overs can well determine the fate of the contest given how slow the surfaces have been at Sharjah this season. In terms of head-to-head and form, CSK look strong favourites to win the contest. Nonetheless, no team can be ruled out at any given point in T20s.

CSK vs SRH, IPL 2021 prediction today: Who will win Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match?

Former Indian cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has once again taken a shot at Ravindra Jadeja's batting abilities. For the unversed, Jadeja has been in top form in the IPL 2021 edition, in the UAE, with the bat and has done decently with the ball as well. However, Manjrekar feels Jadeja has got the runs mainly versus the medium-pacers.

Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Manjrekar pointed out, "I am still not convinced about Jadeja's batting, especially the role CSK has given him. If he gets the same role in every match, will he be able to continue with his performances against the quality pace bowlers or not? Because so far, he has pounced on bowlers like Prasidh Krishna and Harshal Patel. It remains to be seen whether he will be as attacking as well against the quick pacers who try to attack him."

Manjrekar's comments came after Jadeja's finishing skills took CSK home in a thrilling 172-run-chase versus Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), on Sunday (September 26), courtesy his 8-ball 22, studded with two fours and equal number of sixes. However, Manjrekar feels Jadeja got it easy by targetting medium pacer Prasidh Krishna. Even in the first leg, Jadeja had gone bonkers versus Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) in-form pacer Harshal Patel; smashing him for 37 runs in a single over (including a no-ball).

IPL 2021: 'Still not convinced about his batting' - Sanjay Manjrekar takes a dig at CSK star Ravindra Jadeja

It isn't an unknown fact that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni hasn't been at his best with the willow in IPL 2021. While his bat remained silent in the first leg, many expected him to deliver in the second and final leg. However, the 40-year-old remains in poor form in the UAE leg.

Although CSK have revamped in style, following their disastrous season in IPL 2020, the wicketkeeper-batsman's no-show with the bat is a cause of concern of the three-time winners as they are on cusp of entering the playoffs. Ahead of CSK's clash versus the one-time champions Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad at Sharjah, on Thursday (September 30), former Indian opener-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra commented on Dhoni's lean phase.

Talking on his Youtube channel, Chopra said: "He’s currently only playing like a captain and wicketkeeper because either he bats so down the order or not at all. Sometimes when he gets to bat, he isn’t able to do much. So the truth is that CSK is playing with 10 players and he’s there as a captain."

"This is another interesting bit about Dhoni – this time can only be run by him, CSK’s turnaround, the comeback, and the transformation to the “Champion Super Kings” is only because of MS Dhoni’s captaincy. If he had not been there, this environment would not have been created. So when the big auction arrives, maybe you want MS Dhoni on your side to make and run his team before moving forward to the future,” Chopra further added.&nbsp;

IPL 2021: 'CSK is playing with 10 players and he’s there as captain' - Aakash Chopra opines on MS Dhoni's lean phase

R Ashwin had a heated exchange with Eoin Morgan and Tim Southee during match 41 of the IPL 2021 edition between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Sharjah on Tuesday (September 28). The incident happened during DC's innings when a Rahul Tripathi throw ricocheted&nbsp;off Pant and the wily off-spinner Ashwin went for another run in the process.&nbsp;

Thus, this didn't please Morgan and Southee as the two had a verbal spat with Ashwin following the spin-bowling all-rounder's dismissal. Even Pant joined in to defend his teammate before former KKR captain Dinesh Karthik came in the middle and tried to play the peace-maker. As the matter has once again led to talks regarding the 'Spirit of Cricket', Ashwin finally opened up on the whole controversy in a series of tweets on Thursday (September 30). Here's what the DC spinner wrote:

IPL 2021: DC spinner R Ashwin opens up on heated altercation with KKR stars Eoin Morgan, Tim Southee

Match 41 of the IPL 2021 edition saw the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) lock horns with the two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Sharjah. While the DC franchise were favourites to win versus Eoin Morgan &amp; Co., they conceded a three-wicket win to the KKR line-up in defence of a modest 128.

Though the IPL 2020 runners-up fought hard and gave their all, KKR managed to edge past them courtesy vital knocks from Shubman Gill, Sunil Narine and Nitish Rana. The clash, however, gained eyeballs for the heated exchange between R Ashwin and KKR captain Morgan. After Ashwin sneaked in another run&nbsp;when the ball ricocheted&nbsp;off his partner Pant, it didn't please bowler Tim Southee and Morgan.

Following his dismissal, Ashwin was, thus, caught in an altercation with Morgan and Southee as Dinesh Karthik played the peace-maker. After all this, former KKR captain opened up on the whole episode and told at the press conference, "I know that Rahul Tripathi threw the ball and it hit Rishabh Pant and then it ricocheted of that and Ashwin started to run. I do not think Morgan appreciates that, he is someone when the ball hits the batter, he expects them not to run because of the spirit of cricket."

He took a jibe at England's limited-overs and KKR captain Morgan and tweeted, "On July 14th , 2019 when it ricocheted of Ben Stokes' bat in the final over, Mr. Morgan sat on a dharna outside Lord’s and refused to hold the World Cup trophy and New Zealand won. Haina? Bade aaye, ‘Doesn’t appreciate’ waale."

For the unversed, a similar such incident had happened in the 2019 ODI World Cup final between England and New Zealand at Lord's. In the riveting final over, Martin Guptill's throw had hit Stokes' bat and went to the boundary as the runs were added to the eventual champions England's tally in their run-chase. Hence, Sehwag reminded Morgan of the CWC'19 final and has slammed him.&nbsp;

Talking about the current standings of both DC and KKR, the Pant-led franchise are at the second position with 16 points and are very much certain to qualify&nbsp;for&nbsp;the playoffs. On the other hand, KKR find themselves at the fourth spot with three wins from four encounters ever since the season resumed in the UAE.

Match 41 of the IPL 2021 edition saw the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) lock horns with the two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Sharjah. While the DC franchise were favourites to win versus Eoin Morgan & Co., they conceded a three-wicket win to the KKR line-up in defence of a modest 128. Though the IPL 2020 runners-up fought hard and gave their all, KKR managed to edge past them courtesy vital knocks from Shubman Gill, Sunil Narine and Nitish Rana. The clash, however, gained eyeballs for the heated exchange between R Ashwin and KKR captain Morgan. After Ashwin sneaked in another run when the ball ricocheted off his partner Pant, it didn't please bowler Tim Southee and Morgan. Following his dismissal, Ashwin was, thus, caught in an altercation with Morgan and Southee as Dinesh Karthik played the peace-maker. After all this, former KKR captain opened up on the whole episode and told at the press conference, "I know that Rahul Tripathi threw the ball and it hit Rishabh Pant and then it ricocheted of that and Ashwin started to run. I do not think Morgan appreciates that, he is someone when the ball hits the batter, he expects them not to run because of the spirit of cricket."

Match 44 of the IPL 2021 edition will see two teams with contrasting fortunes to lock horns with each other as the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). While the Yellow Army are almost sure of a spot in the playoffs, with one more win confirming them at least a top-four finish, CSK will not like to take the SRH camp lightly, who have struggled in the season.

CSK are coming into this clash on the back of a thrilling last-ball win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). While it wasn't a clinical performance by the team, they are once again winning games courtesy different match-winners and from troubled situations. The three-time winners will now hope for their experienced duo -- Dhoni and Suresh Raina -- to also be among runs. So far, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar have done the bulk of job for the franchise.&nbsp;

On the other hand, SRH are also coming into this game on the back of a comfortable win over Rajasthan Royals (RR). Nonetheless, the CSK challenge will be a different ball game for Williamson &amp; Co. They will hope for Jason Roy to fire on all cylinders and make use of the powerplays whereas contemplate bringing in Mohammad Nabi to counter the CSK left-handers.&nbsp;

Talking about the form of both sides, RCB started their UAE leg with back-to-back defeats before mauling defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) by 54 runs to add two vital points in their kitty. On the other hand, Samson-led RR have yet again not lived upto expectations.

IPL 2021: From David Warner to KL Rahul! 5 captaincy options for RCB as Virat Kohli set to step down

KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) continue to remain inconsistent in the second and final leg of IPL 2021. On Tuesday (September 28), the one-time runners-up lost their face-off versus defending champions and five-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI) by six wickets and remain in the bottom-half, i.e. the sixth position, post match 42.

Being asked to bat first, in Dubai, Punjab batters didn't make the most of their starts as Rahul departed for 22-ball 21 whereas the likes of Mandeep Singh (15) and Chris Gayle (1) couldn't do much. Aiden Markram's 42 and Deepak Hooda's 28 propelled PBKS to 135-6 before MI's Saurabh Tiwary (45) and Hardik Pandya's unbeaten 40 took them to a comfortable win, with an over to spare.

As Punjab continue to struggle in the bottom-half, former Indian opener-turned-commentator Virender Sehwag has schooled Rahul regarding his approach with the bat. The right-hander has 422 runs in 10 innings, at an average of 52.75 and strike-rate of over 130. Sehwag, however, feels he should play more naturally and attack from the word go.

Talking on Cricbuzz live, he said "It's the prior mindset that dictates how you approach your innings. Someone like Rohit Sharma plays in the same way because he reacts according to the delivery. But someone like KL Rahul comes to bat with a prior plan: to play cautiously or attack from the very first delivery."

Sehwag went onto say,&nbsp;"Someone like Rahul should play always his natural game, given the fact that has so many shots. If he plays his natural game, then he will always score more runs in fewer deliveries because he is blessed with many shots against the pacers and spinners."&nbsp;

IPL 2021: Virender Sehwag schools PBKS skipper KL Rahul on his batting after MI clash

Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) got off the mark in the second and final leg of IPL 2021 edition with a much-needed win in match 42, when they locked horns with an inconsistent KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings (PBKS), on Tuesday (September 28) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

Opting to bowl first, Rohit-led MI restricted PBKS for a modest 135-6, courtesy twin strikes from Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Kieron Pollard. In reply, MI completed the run-chase with 6 wickets and an over to spare courtesy vital knocks from Saurabh Tiwary, Hardik Pandya and Pollard.

During the match, sports presenter and Bumrah's wife Sanjana Ganesan rightly predicted the number of wickets her husband would take. In an interaction with Mumbai Indians, Ganesan said, "I would want him to pick 5 wickets but I think he will pick 2 wickets in the match." Bumrah returned with 2 for 24 in 4 overs.

For the unversed, Sanjana and Bumrah got married in early 2021 and have travelled together for India's tour of the United Kingdom as well as&nbsp;during the second and final leg of IPL 2021 in the UAE. Sanjana's presence in the MI dugout has played its part for Bumrah, who is the third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament so far with 16 scalps following MI's win over PBKS.

On Wednesday (September 29), the Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) will lock horns with the three-time runners-up Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. Both sides have had equal number of wins and losses ever since the IPL resumed in the UAE.

While RR started the second and final leg with a win over Punjab Kings (PBKS), they went down to the Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and now occupy the seventh spot, with time running out for keeping their playoffs hopes alive. Meanwhile, RCB started the final leg with two back-to-back defeats, versus Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), before beating Mumbai Indians (MI) in their previous encounter.

Talking about the head-to-head, RCB lead RR by a slender 11-10 margin in 23 games. A close contest is expected between both sides with Kohli &amp; Co. starting as favourites over the inconsistent RR line-up.

IPL 2021, RR vs RCB, Live Streaming: When and where to watch Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore?

Match 41 of the IPL 2021 UAE leg will see the in-form Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) face the two-time winners Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The clash is expected to go down the wire as both sides have looked good in the second and final leg of IPL 14.&nbsp;

While the KKR franchise were down and in the bottom-half of the points table when the UAE leg commenced, they have won two out of three games. Their previous game brought an end to their two-match winning streak, however, they lost on the final ball of the match versus MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK). On the other hand, the DC franchise seem to have all bases covered and are moving ahead very strongly in the tournament. They comfortably moved past Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) since this year's IPL resumed in the UAE.&nbsp;

Match prediction: The Sharjah Cricket Stadium will host the afternoon game. With smaller boundaries and conditions being good for batting, it is expected to be a high-scoring encounter; i.e. in the 180-185 range. It will be interesting to see how the DC's famed top-order handles KKR's wily bowling attack. The last time both sides met at the venue in IPL 2020, the match went down the wire before DC came on top by 18 runs. A similar sort of face-off is expected.

DC vs KKR, IPL 2021 prediction today: Who will win Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders match?

Match 41 of the IPL 2021 edition saw the in-form Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) lock horns with the two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah on Tuesday (September 28). In the low-scoring encounter, KKR managed to emerge on top of the DC franchise by 3 wickets -- in pursuit of 128 -- to pick up two vital points.

While Pant-led DC lost the encounter, the IPL 2020 runners-up remain in the top-two in the overall standings. For the skipper Pant, it was a decent game as he made a sedate 36-ball 39 and rotated the bowlers to make it tough for the Kolkata franchise. However, the 23-year-old achieved an elite feat during the match; surpassing Virender Sehwag to make Delhi franchise's leading run-scorer of all-time.

KKR vs DC: Rishabh Pant surpasses Virender Sehwag to become Delhi's all-time leading run-scorer during IPL 2021

Shreyas Iyer had a shoulder injury during the India-England ODIs at home, early this year,. It forced him to miss the first leg of IPL 2021 and also remain out of competitive cricket for six months before he returned to the Delhi Capitals (DC) squad for the second and final leg of this year's IPL, in the UAE.

Since his return, the right-hander has looked in good touch and managed scores of 47* and 43 in DC's first two outings in the final leg. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians' (MI) famed trio -- Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya -- haven't managed to fire on all cylinders for the defending champions. Hence a report suggests that the Indian team management is keen on including Iyer in the main squad amid growing concerns over the T20 WC-bound players' form.

A BCCI source told InsideSport, "Yes, it is a bit of a concern but we still have few matches left in IPL to get them back in form. Hopefully, they will. Suryakumar has been amongst runs for India so he is not a big concern at the moment. Ishan Kishan too did well in Sri Lanka. Virat also spoke to him on Sunday and let’s see how it goes.

"We have Shreyas Iyer as the backup, if there are any concerns, he could be added. But it’s too early to say anything. Ishan Kishan is an important player and so are Suryakumar and others. There is no point speculating,” the source revealed.

“Hardik is recovering and Mumbai Indians have managed him well. We will see how it goes. He is bowling at the nets, so that’s a good sign. Rohit is there, so he knows better how to handle him. You are talking about Hardik and there is no backup at the moment. Shardul and Deepak are good options but they are yet to prove as regular all-round options in T20s. So, Hardik remains the best all-rounder,” the BCCI source further added.

Rohit-led MI aren't having the best of times in the UAE and have lost three games in a row ever since the tournament resumed on September 19.

Rohit &amp; Co. have lost to Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to find themselves at the seventh position, with four&nbsp;wins from ten encounters.

VIRAL: MI skipper Rohit Sharma's lookalike spotted in Pakistan, leaves Twitterati in splits with striking resemblance

David Warner has been one of the biggest match-winners for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise ever since he joined the side in 2014. Since then, the Aussie opener has been most consistent for the Orange Army, surpassing the 500-run mark on every occasion and ending as the leading run-getter in three seasons.&nbsp;

Apart from this, Warner has also led the SRH camp to their solitary IPL title so far, in the 2016 edition. However, things changed for the worst for the veteran opener in the IPL 2021 edition. He started the first leg of IPL 14 on a slow and ordinary note, with a strike-rate way below his standards, before some reports stated that the team management wasn't happy with the way he reacted to Manish Pandey's omission, after the Super Over game versus Delhi Capitals (DC) early this year.

Not being able to score freely, along with the SRH franchise facing back-to-back defeats, Warner was removed from the playing XI. He was also replaced by Kane Williamson as the captain before IPL 14 came to a halt in early May, due to the Covid-19 crisis in India.&nbsp;

Come the second and final leg, which is underway in the UAE, Warner's struggles have continued. He managed scores of 0 and 2 before being overlooked for SRH's encounter versus Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday (September 27). Nonetheless, many viewers couldn't even spot Warner in the dugout. Not seeing him travel with the team to the stadium led to many speculations.&nbsp;

Now, Warner has all but confirmed that he won't be travelling to the stadium any further in the ongoing season, hinting at his possible exit from SRH. Here's what he replied to a fan who asked about his whereabouts when the Aussie opener shared a glimpse of the SRH-RR encounter from his hotel room:

It is highly possible now that Warner is set to enter the mega auction, which is slated to be held later this year ahead of the IPL 2022 edition. With two new teams entering the scene, along with some other franchises also looking for a captain, Warner's stakes might rise further in the next season.

IPL 2021: David Warner drops a bomb regarding his future with SRH after being left out of playing XI vs RR

Match 42 of the IPL 2021 edition will see two struggling teams in the form of defending champions Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) face each other. The clash will be held at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Tuesday evening (September 28).

This will be the evening game, which will start after the end of the afternoon clash between Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) and Eoin Morgan's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Sharjah. For MI, the Rohit-led franchise have been struggling in the UAE leg with a hat-trick of defeats. Their manner of losses have also dented their net run-rate as time is running out for the Mumbai Paltans to remain alive in the playoffs race.&nbsp;

On the other hand, the Rahul-led PBKS franchise only have themselves to blame for them languishing at the bottom-half. Despite a narrow 5-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their previous face-off, Punjab have to deal with their sheer inconsistency and choking abilities when they take on the field versus the MI outfit. A lot will once again depend on how their openers perform against the MI pacers.&nbsp;

Match prediction: Both sides have had some gruelling encounters in the past. During IPL 2020, both teams were involved in a humdinger of a clash, which resulted in a double Super Over. In overall head-to-head battle, MI lead PBKS by a slender 14-13 margin. Given that MI look down and out in terms of their body language and PBKS will enter this game on the back of a spirited 5-run win, coupled with Mumbai's struggling trio of Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, Punjab can emerge out victorious. Well, one can never rule out a champion side like MI but for now, PBKS start as slight favourites.

Match 42 of the IPL 2021 edition will see two struggling teams in the form of defending champions Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) face each other.

Match 42 of the IPL 2021 edition will see two struggling teams in the form of defending champions Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) face each other. The clash will be held at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Tuesday evening (September 28). This will be the evening game, which will start after the end of the afternoon clash between Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) and Eoin Morgan's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Sharjah. For MI, the Rohit-led franchise have been struggling in the UAE leg with a hat-trick of defeats. Their manner of losses have also dented their net run-rate as time is running out for the Mumbai Paltans to remain alive in the playoffs race.

On the other hand, the Rahul-led PBKS franchise only have themselves to blame for them languishing at the bottom-half.

MI vs PBKS, IPL 2021 prediction today: Who will win Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings match?

Match 41 will see one of the title-contenders in Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) face Eoin Morgan's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2021, on Tuesday (September 28). For the unversed, this will be an afternoon game as there are two matches lined-up for the day.

Talking about the form of both sides, DC are moving ahead -- or rather storming -- into the playoffs with back-to-back wins. The 2020 runners-up are at the second position and will reclaim the top spot if they emerge on top of two-time winners KKR at Sharjah. Thus, the Pant-led franchise will start as favourites against the KKR line-up.

On the other hand, KKR have shown remarkable improvement since the UAE leg commenced. Their batters are playing with more freedom whereas their bowling has enough variety for the pitches on offer in the UAE. Hence, they won't give anything easily to the DC outfit. A close contest is expected between both sides. Their last face-off at the venue saw DC beat KKR by 18 runs in a high-scoring thriller in IPL 2020.

Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Pant, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy and Rahul Tripathi will be some of the players to watch out for.

Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) met defending champions Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 39 of IPL 2021 on Sunday evening (September 26). While it was expected to go down the wire, RCB triumphed over MI by 54 runs to claim two vital points and finally get off the mark in the UAE leg of the tournament.&nbsp;

During the high-octane encounter between both sides, Kohli and Rohit remained at the centre of all the action for being the two biggest names on the field. However, their healthy interaction and bromance pictures have also gone viral, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. Here are the two's bromance caught on the camera after match 39:

IPL 2021: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's bromance breaks the internet during RCB vs MI clash in Dubai

Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) thrashed defending champions and five-time winners Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians (MI) by 54 runs in IPL 2021's Match 39, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, to finally get off the mark in the second and final leg of IPL 14&nbsp;in the UAE.

Coming onto the game on the back of two heavy defeats, RCB beat MI -- who succumbed to their third loss in a row -- to now have 12 points up their sleeves after 10 games. Being asked to bat first, an aggressive start from Kohli (who fell for a 41-ball 51), Srikar Bharat's vital 32 and Glenn Maxwell's 37-ball 56 propelled RCB to 165-5. In reply, MI were 57 for no loss and 79 for 1 before a collapse saw them get all-out for 111 in 18.1 overs.&nbsp;

During the clash, Kohli's aggressive intent with the bat and good captaincy decisions enabled RCB to finish on top. After the match, former RCB recruit and ex-South African pacer Dale Steyn has explained how the three-time runners-up benefit under 'aggressive' Kohli.

“I think the guys prefer to see him be more aggressive, it seems to get him to play a bit more fluently. It kind of sparks the younger players too, a lot of the younger guys have massive respect for Virat, and they admire him so much that they kind of follow in his direction,” Steyn said on Star Sports' Live feed of Select Dugout.

“When he's fighting fire with fire and nobody's doing it for India, you can hear all the quicks, when they were playing against England recently, how they were talking about following their captain and they wanting to play fighting fire with fire,” he added. "So, he does lead from the front in that aspect and RCB love it. He’s kind of built that thought around RCB now. It’s the kind of culture that they have got in that dressing room,” he signed off.

After getting back to winning ways, RCB will now aim to finish at the top 2 and qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2021. They still have four games to go, hence, the Kohli-led franchise won't be taking anything lightly as competition remains wide open and stiff among all teams, barring a struggling Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

IPL 2021: Dale Steyn explains how RCB benefit under 'aggressive' Virat Kohli after Bengaluru thrash Rohit Sharma-led MI

Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) locked horns with Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 39 of the IPL 2021 edition, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Sunday evening (September 26). Both sides came into this clash to avoid their third successive defeat in the UAE leg where Kohli &amp; Co. demolished Rohit-led MI by 54 runs.

Being asked to bat first, RCB rode on an aggressive start by skipper Kohli (who eventually fell for a 41-bll 51), Srikar Bharat's 32 and Glenn Maxwell's 37-ball 56 to post 165-5. In reply, MI were oncourse towards the target being 57 for no loss and 79-1 before being reduced to 97-5 and all-out for 111 in 18.1 overs. With the ball, Harshal Patel's hat-trick, Yuzvendra Chahal's 3-fer and Maxwell's two important scalps sealed the game for the three-time runners-up.&nbsp;

However, RCB's superstar AB de Villiers had an off day. The former South African captain departed for a 6-ball 11 and his dismissal didn't go down well by one RCB fan at the stands -- i.e. his son. His young son was livid seeing him get out, to Jasprit Bumrah in the 19th over, and punched the chair infront of him in anger before his mother cooled him down.

IPL 2021: UNMISSABLE! AB de Villiers' son's reaction goes viral after RCB veteran gets out in clash vs MI - Watch

Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) met Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 39 of the IPL 2021 edition on Sunday evening (September 26), at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. Opting to bowl first, MI were set a 166-run target by Kohli's RCB as Bengaluru dismissed MI for 111 and won the clash by 54 runs.

During the clash, Vaughan spoke about RCB's approach and slammed the three-time runners-up for often celebrating immaturely during the course of a&nbsp;match. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Vaughan said, "I'll be honest with you... RCB.. I don't want to feel like I am picking on them but I just don't like the mentality. I don't like seeing fistbumps for someone hitting a six, you know, in the ninth over. You hit a six but that's your job to get the ball over the ropes. You give a fistbump when you celebrate at the end of the game when you have won. I have seen little celebrations at the wrong moment from the RCB team."&nbsp;

"I just don't see the mechanism of maturity. It looks quite immature group that's celebrating someone hitting a six in the 8th over [sic]. So what? Who cares about that? That's for later on in a couple of hours time when you start celebrating. I see some of the things in this group that... yeah, I am not too sure I think they are almost playing individually rather than a collective," he added.&nbsp;

During RCB's innings, Srikar Bharat and Kohli -- who often displays his emotions on the field -- were seen celebrating their boundaries, which might have prompted Vaughan to make the statement.&nbsp;

Talking about the RCB-MI clash, Kohli &amp; Co. defeated Rohit-led MI by 54 runs as the defending champions failed to chase down 166 in Dubai. Kohli (51), Bharat (32) and Glenn Maxwell's 37-ball 56 propelled RCB to 165-5. Despite a 57-run opening stand and being well-placed at 79-1, MI fell like nine pins to be bundled out for 111 in 18.1 overs to lose their third game in a row in the UAE leg of IPL 14.

Talking about the RCB-MI clash, Kohli & Co. defeated Rohit-led MI by 54 runs as the defending champions failed to chase down 166 in Dubai. Kohli (51), Bharat (32) and Glenn Maxwell's 37-ball 56 propelled RCB to 165-5. Despite a 57-run opening stand and being well-placed at 79-1, MI fell like nine pins to be bundled out for 111 in 18.1 overs to lose their third game in a row in the UAE leg of IPL 14.

'Immature group celebrating someone hitting a 6' - Michael Vaughan slams Virat Kohli-led RCB's approach during MI face-off

Match 40 of the IPL 2021 edition will see Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) lock horns with a struggling and bottom-ranked Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. So far, both sides have been rusty but the Orange Army's struggles have been more than any other team in the ongoing season.

Talking about the current standings of both sides, SRH find themselves languishing at the bottom with only a solitary win from 9 encounters. On the other hand, Samson &amp; Co. remain inconsistent with a topsy-turvy ride even in the UAE leg. The one-time winners are at the sixth position, with 4 wins from equal number of matches. The Hyderabad franchise is coming to this game on the back of a 5-run loss to Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a low-scoring thriller whereas Samson-led Rajasthan were outplayed by Delhi Capitals (DC) in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

Match prediction for RR vs SRH clash:&nbsp;Both sides are struggling and find themselves in the bottom-half of the points table. While RR is at a better position, as compared to their opposition, they will start as favourites. A moderate-scoring encounter looks on cards, with scores being around 155-165, with conditions to favour the batters and slower bowlers as the match progresses. Considering form and current standings, RR are likely to march ahead. However, they have won only two games&nbsp;out of eight encounters in Dubai.

Will SRH finally get to 4 points and add some joy to their miserable campaign so far?

RR vs SRH, IPL 2021 prediction today: Who will win Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match?

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on the one-time winners Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match 40 of the ongoing IPL 2021 edition on Monday evening (September 27). Not much separate both sides as the two have won 7 games apiece against each other in 14 face-offs overall. However, both sides are at the bottom-half, which means the upcoming encounter can go down the wire.

SRH failed to chase down 126 versus Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their last encounter. Such has been their season that they're dropping catches, failing to chase down totals, batters aren't capitalising on starts and even a change in leadership hasn't brought them any luck. They were expected to beat PBKS as it is normally their temperament which bails them out in low-scoring thrillers. However, they will now like to get on a winning streak by beating RR on Monday.

Talking about RR, they continue to have an inconsistent ride. While they have beaten SRH thrice in the last five games, the one-time winners have won only two games out of eight&nbsp;played in Dubai. Their young team has impressed and surprised with each passing game. It will be interesting to see what the script holds&nbsp;for them versus the Orange Army?

With SRH down and out, RR have another chance to earn a win and enter the top-4, something which they missed post the game versus Delhi Capitals (DC).

IPL 2021, SRH vs RR, Live Streaming: When and where to watch Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals?

Match 37 of the IPL 2021 edition will see two struggling sides in the form of KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face each other, in a bid to move ahead from the bottom two positions. Time is running for both the franchises as the tournament is swiftly progressing towards the business end.

Talking about the PBKS franchise, the Punjab unit have found ways to surrender the momentum from winning positions and, hence, are struggling at the seventh position -- with 3&nbsp;wins from 9&nbsp;games. On the other hand, chaos is of another level in the SRH camp. After a change in leadership during the first leg, there have been many players who are struggling to hold onto their spots and the situation is far from ideal in the one-time winners' camp.

Both sides won two games apiece, out of three at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, during IPL 2020. With both sides having plenty to ponder upon, it is tough to predict a winner.

PBKS vs SRH today match prediction:&nbsp;The pitch at Sharjah is now a tricky one. It now has something for the bowlers as well, making it an even contest (like it should be). If the pitch favours the bowlers slightly more, being on the slower side, SRH will have an edge given their experience and wily bowlers. On the other hand, it will test the Hyderabad batsmen's ability to clear the ropes at regular intervals if the surface aids the batters. The likes of KL Rahul, Chris Gayle (if he plays), Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran will flex their muscles to overpower SRH.

The main deciding factor, however,&nbsp;will be who will eventually manage to hold their nerves? Will PBKS continue to surrender the momentum after dominating most parts? SRH might be down at the moment,&nbsp;but their experienced international recruits&nbsp;won't allow the franchise to squander end moments like PBKS often does.

PBKS vs SRH, IPL 2021 prediction today: Who will win Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match?

Two bottom-lying and struggling sides in the form of KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) and eighth-ranked Kane Williamson's Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face each other in match 37 of the IPL 2021 edition, in the UAE, on Saturday (September 25).&nbsp;

This will be the evening game and will be held at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. While the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were off to a great start versus Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Friday evening, they managed only 156-6 versus the Yellow Army on the same ground. The pitch is expected to favour the batsmen, but bowlers now have a much larger say than the case was when Sharjah was deemed to be a bowlers' graveyard during the initial phase of IPL 2020.&nbsp;

Variations, slower ones and bowling cleverly towards the longer side of the boundaries can benefit bowlers.. Hence, it will be interesting to see how SRH and PBKS bowlers step up to the challenge. The pitch also had turn on offer during the CSK vs RCB encounter. If the same remains, PBKS-SRH clash will come down to the bowlers. On the contrary, since it is only the second game at the venue in the ongoing UAE leg, batsmen will still have a chance to flex their muscles and make merry of the smaller dimensions of the ground. A 175-180 score on cards?

All in all, run-scoring will continue but it won't be a cakewalk as well.

Ravindra Jadeja is one of the best fielders in world cricket and the best in Indian cricket. While there are many good fielders in Team India, Jadeja's swift movement on the field, rocket-arm, agility and presence of mind stands tall.

During the IPL 2017 edition, Suresh Raina-led Gujarat Lions (GL) were involved in a high-voltage thriller versus Mumbai Indians (MI). It was the 35th match of the edition, in Raipur, which down to the last over where Jadeja's stunning throws propelled the clash to the Super Over. Here's the video of the all-rounder who dismissed two MI batsmen in the final over to take the clash to the one-over eliminator:

Talking about the clash, GL opted to bat first and rode on Brendon McCullum's 48 and Jadeja's 21-ball 28 propelled Gujarat to a moderate score of 153-9. In response, Rohit-led MI were kept in the run-chase courtesy Parthiv Patel's 70 and handy knocks from the middle-order.

Match 35 of the IPL 2021 edition will see two heavyweight sides in the form of Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lock horns with each other at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah.&nbsp;

CSK will enter the contest as favourites after their 20-run win in the second and final leg's opener, versus Mumbai Indians (MI), and having already mauled RCB -- by 69 runs -- during the first leg in India. Moreover, the head-to-head record also sees CSK's dominance over RCB, leading 17-9.&nbsp;

For Kohli-led RCB, they have their back against the wall after a terrible start to the second leg, losing to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 9 wickets with 10 overs to spare. While Bengaluru remain at the third spot, with 5 wins from 8 encounters, they will feel the heat if they fail to open their account in the UAE leg with another defeat. Their net run-rate, -0.706, is already in the negative.

Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) thumped defending champions Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 34 of the IPL 2021 edition on Thursday (September 23). Opting to bowl first, Morgan &amp; Co. had to strive hard to get the first breakthrough but managed to remain on top after getting rid of the MI openers Rohit and Quinton de Kock.

While Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine remained economical and put a lid on the scoreboard, Prasidh Krishna and Lockie Ferguson were among wickets as KKR restricted MI to 155-6. In reply, KKR opener Venkatesh Iyer and Rahul Tripathi shone with the bat, with their attacking style of play, as the two-time winners closed the run-chase in 15.1 overs with 7 wickets in hand.

Venkatesh, who made a mark on IPL debut in KKR's 9-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), once again stood tall in his side's run-chase, returning with his maiden IPL fifty (30-ball 53, with 4 fours and 3 sixes). After his knock, Parthiv Patel stated that he sees shades of Yuvraj Singh in Iyer's playing style.

Parthiv said on Star Sports, "We do talk about a lot of boundaries. But the maturity that Venkatesh Iyer showed was superb. We are talking about someone who is not an India A player, someone who has not played international cricket.

"He showed so much maturity and courage to go out there and back himself. That’s something we always look out for in young players in the IPL. He went out and played fearless cricket. One of the great things about him, having seen him, he can not only open, he can bat from 1 to 9 and bowl as well. So he will have a great future. I think there is a lot of Yuvraj Singh in him. There is a lot of flow."

On the other hand, Graeme Swann said on the post-match show, "He has got swag. He is very cool, calm and collected. He doesn’t show a lot of emotions. First ball against Boult and Milne was hit for six. When the spinner come on, the helmet comes off. He is flicking that hair back. The boy has got swag and talent. I love the way he goes about his cricket. He is my Man of the Match."

With this win, KKR have moved to the top four with a very good net run-rate. They now have back-to-back wins in the UAE leg after a disappointing run in the first-half of IPL 14.

Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) thumped defending champions Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 34 of the IPL 2021 edition on Thursday (September 23).

Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) thumped defending champions Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 34 of the IPL 2021 edition on Thursday (September 23). Opting to bowl first, Morgan & Co. had to strive hard to get the first breakthrough but managed to remain on top after getting rid of the MI openers Rohit and Quinton de Kock. While Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine remained economical and put a lid on the scoreboard, Prasidh Krishna and Lockie Ferguson were among wickets as KKR restricted MI to 155-6. In reply, KKR opener Venkatesh Iyer and Rahul Tripathi shone with the bat, with their attacking style of play, as the two-time winners closed the run-chase in 15.1 overs with 7 wickets in hand.

Defending champions Mumbai Indians might have lost their previous game against Chennai Super Kings, but skipper Rohit Sharma feels it`s important for the team to turn up and do the job when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders in their Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. "It`s important that we turn up and do the job!" Rohit said in a video posted on MI`s twitter handle. "I honestly don`t believe in past records, T20 is a game on that particular day. What happens it`s a game of that you have to be best on that day. They are a good opposition (Kolkata Knight Riders) and they play cricket very well as a team, and they will obviously be coming off from some confidence after their last win so it`s not going to be cakewalk for us.

"I know that we had a very handy record against them, but it`s important that we turn up really well on that particular day, and do the job. When you are chasing a score like 157 you need to build those small partnerships, and make sure you keep yourself in the game as long as possible." Commenting on the impressive show by pacer Adam Milne in his first game, the captain said: "Adam Milne, especially is coming from a very good tournament in UK. He is a good bowler, bowls really fast and it`s all about, you know, getting that confidence and he got that confidence in the first game. So I just hope that he builds on it. We just have to come back and come back really strong and tick those small boxes, and I think if you look at the potential in this squad. We have got all bases covered."

Rohit missed the opening game as the team management felt it was important to give him some more recovery time after he injured himself during the Test series in England. MI couldn`t capitalise on the good start they got against CSK and ultimately lost the game by 20 runs as MS Dhoni`s boys made a remarkable comeback after a poor start.
