It would be a battle of Dhoni's calm and composed presence on the field against Virat's fiery brand of cricket embodied by the RCB, which makes it truly a clash of 'ice and fire'.

Against RCB in 36 outings, Dhoni has made 864 runs at an average of 39.27 and a healthy strike rate of 141.27, with four half-centuries and a best score of 84 (unbeaten). However, at the Chepauk Stadium, Dhoni's star does not shine much against RCB

In nine matches at the venue against RCB and seven innings, Dhoni has scored 165 runs at an average of just 23.57 and a strike rate of 136.36, with his best score being 41

When he last got to bat against RCB at Chepauk, Dhoni played a quickfire cameo of 29 in 18 balls, with two fours and two sixes. It was back in 2015. CSK scored a match-winning total of 148/9 as RCB was skittled out for 124

Dhoni boasts of a fine record against RCB, both as a leader and batter. RCB have only won once against CSK at Chepauk Stadium, back in 2008 during the inaugural IPL. Chepauk is the home ground of CSK

During CSK's last IPL match against RCB, Dhoni played a quickfire cameo of 25 in 13 balls, with three fours and a six. However, his knock could not help as RCB secured a 27-run win to knock CSK out of the IPL on the basis of net-run-rate and secured a final four berth

In 70 matches at Chepauk, Dhoni has made 1,469 runs at an average of 41.97 and a strike rate of over 145, with seven fifties and best score of 75 (unbeaten)
