The comparison chart clearly indicates not much difference between the two teams except forSaurabh and Chateshwara who are becoming a huge baggage for RCB
CSK is not the strongest but one of the few strong bating line up. However their fielding is definitely the strongest.
I agree with you that they are a very competitive side and have a talent to pull off victories from under your nose. Thier Bowers are doing well by maintaining a tight line and length backed by their top gear fielding. The major difference for CSK is their captain the FOX MSD.
Not that RCB cannot beat them but all RCB players must keep their cool not panic or trigger a collapse like they did against KXIP or MI or on previous couple of occasions including one recently against KKR.
Virat should play a pivotal role and other revolve around him.
