Both CSK and RCB have had excellent campaigns in the tournament so far. After going down to Delhi Capitals in their opening encounter, CSK won their next three games. Meanwhile, RCB are yet to taste defeat in IPL 2021, winning all four of their matches. CSK survived a late charge from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their last outing to win a high-scoring game by 18 runs.

The clip was also accompanied by the following caption: Rishabh Pant was appointed captain of the Delhi Capitals for IPL 2021 after regular skipper Shreyas Iyer, under whom DC reached the final last season, was ruled out of the tournament due to a shoulder injury....

After winning the opening match of the 2021 IPL season, the Knights from Kolkata quickly disintegrated into a side incapable of playing decent cricket. They went on to lose four matches on the bounce. Moreover, with the captain not delivering, it only added to their woes. Eoin Morgan averaged a disastrous 9 runs per inning in the first leg of the tournament. While all four defeats were a result of poor performances, the batting effort in the game against the Mumbai Indians (MI) was so inadequate that team owner Shahrukh Khan had to apologize to the fans....

Russell had single-handedly won them a bunch of matches, destroying the opposition bowling regularly. He had mentioned that he wanted to bat up the order to give himself more time. And the rest of the batsmen all looked out of form. Chris Lynn got out in the 9th over with the score just 56. Who did Karthik send in? Himself, not Russell. He and Robin Uthappa then batted the next 26 balls for 16 runs....
