The fever of IPL 2024 will start from today. Defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will face each other at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The opening match of the IPL can cross the limits of excitement because both the teams are very strong on paper. These two teams are also considered to have the largest base of fans. In such a situation, it is expected that the opening of the 17th season of IPL will be a blockbuster.
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.
How will Chennai's pace attack be?
Deepak Chahar will be seen leading the pace attack of CSK. Mustafizur Rahman and Shardul Thakur will be seen supporting Deepak. Even though Chennai's pace attack looks a bit weak, the team has an army of strong bowlers in the spin department. The spin of Mahesh Tikshana, Ravindra Jadeja, and Moeen Ali can make Bangalore's batsmen spin in Chepauk.
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 strength of the team has doubled with the arrival of Cameron Green. Green can change the course of the match with batting as well as with the ball.
Powerful bowling attack of RCB
The bowling attack of Royal Challengers Bangalore looks very strong. The team has three strong bowlers in the form of Mohammad Siraj, Lockie Ferguson, and Akash Deep. Whereas, in the spin department, Karan Sharma will be seen making the batsmen dance with his spinning balls.

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.
