CHENNAI: This match is more than just another day in the office. Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru isn’t quite the El Clasico of IPL because the head-to-head is a bit lop-sided in CSK’s favour. But there’s an element of rivalry that creates a sense of a derby.
A lot of it has to do with the proximity of the two southern megapolis – it’s just a six-hour drive from Bengaluru to Chennai – and the two sets of fans can really get passionate about their teams. Add to that the bit of heckling that the CSK fans had to deal with in Bengaluru after their loss in the virtual quarterfinal to RCB last year, and there will be an added zing to this contest on Friday.
