Yuzvendra Chahal has single-handedly kept his team in the game in almost all the five occasions. Despite zero support from the other bowlers, Chahal has bowled extremely well and kept the opposition teams on their toes.

He has picked up at least one wicket every match and has been Virat Kohli's go to man. He has absolutely hard to pick and has been absolutely brilliant with the ball.

Mohammad Nabi ran through the batting line up of RCB.

Mohammad Nabi has been a major relevation this season. He has played just three matches this season but his performance in those three matches have been more than enough to get him into this team.

He has taken 7 wickets in three matches and absolutely ran through the RCB lineup which included the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. He also bowls very early into the game and the early wickets help the other bowlers get the other wickets quickly.

Kagiso Rabada has been absolutely brilliant this season. He is the Purple Cap holder in this season of the IPL. He has troubled batsmen with his accurate yorkers, and has been a match-winner for his team this season.

He has picked up at least one wicket every match, and the wickets have been important ones. He even defended 10 runs in the super over against Andre Russell and bowled 6 good yorkers to get his team a win.

He even ran through the RCB line up and won the man of the match award for picking 4 wickets in that match. He is a must-have pacer in the team.

Deepak Chahar has been used by CSK very well this season

Lastly, the 11th player of the team will be Deepak Chahar. He has had a stellar season so far. He bowls in the powerplay and bowls extremely well. Barring the first match, he has picked up a wicket in every match and has restricted the power play score of other teams to a very low one. He has been accurate and has been groomed well by his captain. He makes it to the team because of his consistency and will be the second pacer after Rabada.

Thus, this is the best playing XI after 21 games this season. With teams having excellent squads, the coming weeks look more promising and it should be a cracker of a contest to see who comes out on the top after half the tournament is done next week.
