Now only a few hours are left for the opening match of IPL 2024 to start. The first match of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between the defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. This match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. CSK's record against RCB on its home ground is excellent. However, this match is expected to be exciting as both the teams look very strong.
How does the Chepauk pitch play?
The first match of IPL 2024 between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore (CSK vs RCB) will be played at the M Chidambaram Cricket Stadium, Chennai. CSK's home ground is dominated by spin bowlers. The ball gets stuck on the bat and one has to make a lot of effort to find the boundary. However, the task of the batsmen may be a little easier in the initial matches.
What do the figures say?
A total of 76 matches have been played so far in IPL on Chepauk ground. The team batting first has tasted victory in 46 matches. At the same time, the team chasing runs has been able to register a victory in 30 matches. That is the decision to bat first after winning the toss on this ground proves to be more effective.
Rachin Ravindra will debut
Chennai Super Kings and captain MS Dhoni have suffered some big setbacks even before the start of the season. Devon Conway will be unavailable due to injury. In such a situation, who will open the innings with Ruturaj Gaikwad will be a big question. It is believed that New Zealand's star all-rounder Rachin Ravindra can be seen playing with Ruturaj. Dhoni can show confidence in Ajinkya Rahane at number three position, while Shivam Dubey would like to create a stir once again at number four.
Star all-rounder will change RCB's fortunes
Royal Challengers Bangalore team is looking very strong on paper this time. In batting, the team has a strong batting attack in the form of the trio of Virat Kohli, Faf Du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell as well as Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik. With this, the team's strength has doubled with the arrival of Cameron Green. Green can change the course of the match with batting as well as with the ball.
CSK vs RCB Probable Playing 11
Chennai Super Kings Probable Playing 11: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dubey, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Mahesh Tikshana, Mustafizur Rahman.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Probable Playing 11: Faf Du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik, Mahipal Lomror, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Siraj, Karan Sharma, Akash Deep.
