Did not expected the IPL first match could turn out to be the one sided match where CSK beating RCB easily by 7 wickets and started their winning game from the first match itself comprehensive win and winning by a huge margin too.
Everything happened because of that pitch,even CSK batsmen were struggling to score but when they know where to reach they just took the match all the way to end and won it comfortably.
RCB team didn't predict the pitch condition that is why they came up with one main spinner and one part time spinner whereas CSK played with 3 specialist spinner and 2 part time spinners.
Kohli and Dhoni were much aware about the pitch, but the winning of toss by Dhoni paved the way to the winning of the match. Prior to the match Dhoni stated clearly on choosing the bowling first. CSK on its home ground gives added advantage to its winning.
Definitely Kohli don't read the pitch,you can watch the speech of Kohli at the time of toss,he wanted to bowl fist just because of dew factor but he ever thought this is an extremely turning pitch.
Moreover, it's a common fact for RCB to score lower. In last IPL, if I'm correct, they performed badly in some matches and got huge success in other matches, I mean no average was there.
I agree to this . I feel that there is no good opening pair right now in RCB , natural position for Kohli is 1 down and RCB should have kept either Gayle or Rahul for opening without leaving them . Look at Uthappa , Rahul , Manish Pandey they are doing very well in other teams and the interesting fact is all these guys are Karnataka born .
Guys, I hope I am not annoying you all.

By the way, we have Australia vs Pakistan ODI. Australia should have another easy win. What do you think? I am predicting this series will have a result of either 5 - 0 or 4 -1 for Australia. They are way better team than current Pakistan team.
