The stage is set for the IPL 2024 to kick off on Friday, March 22, at Chepauk in Chennai, with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) raring to go. RCB will draw inspiration from their women’s team, led by Smriti Mandhana, which clinched the WPL title this season. On the other hand, CSK will be aiming to secure consecutive IPL titles, especially as this season could mark the swansong of the legendary MS Dhoni.
The two teams have faced each other on the cricket field 31 times. With 20 victories out of these 31 encounters, CSK holds a historical edge. The last time these teams clashed, CSK triumphed by 8 wickets at Chepauk in IPL 2023. RCB, boasting of players like Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and others, are eager to clinch an IPL title in their red jerseys. This year appears promising for them to achieve this feat.
