Chennai Super Kings vs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis open the batting for RCB. CSK vs. RCB Live Score: IPL 2024
CSK Live Score vs. RCB IPL2024: The Indian Premier League is returning, and there’s no better way to start a new season than with the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore rekindling their southern derby rivalry. We have you covered as an exciting game is about to begin.
At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Faf du Plessis won the toss and made no qualms about batting first against the Chennai Super Kings in the opening match of the IPL 2024. Brian Lara declared the surface to be a bowl first pitch, but du Plessis trusted his gut and thought setting up a target was a preferable course of action than pursuing. Just in case you forgot, each team has five replacements. For the RCB, they are Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Suyash Prabhudessai, Yash Dayal, and Swapnil Singh. And for CSK, Shardul Thakur, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Nishant Sindhu, and Shaik Rasheed.
It’s here—the epic cricket carnival. Aside from the globe Cup, Champions Trophy, World T20, and World Test Championship, there is just one competition in the globe that can rival these wildly popular ones: the Indian Premier League, which begins play today for its 17th season. And the southern derby is a perfect opportunity to get the IPL going. Bengaluru’s Royal Challengers take against Chennai Super Kings. We’re not sure what will make your pulse race if that doesn’t.
As revealed by CSK’s huge statement just a day earlier, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni are indeed no longer the captains of the Royal Challengers of Bengal. But don’t let it ruin tonight’s plans, not even for a split second. Even though they are no longer captains, Dhoni and Kohli will reconvene to be the main event of the Chepauk. Take in all the memories you can since seeing the two former captains of India together is not as common as it once was.
When Dhoni fails to deliver on his captaincy, Ruturaj Gaikwad takes over and CSK begins anew. Although he has never held the position of captain in the IPL, his 13 domestic games leadership experience and development as the next captain in line should help ensure that CSK does not repeat their 2022 misfortune. Two seasons ago, they made the mistake of designating Ravindra Jadeja as captain hastily, and it cost them dearly. However, things seem much more assured and optimistic with Gaikwad.Naturally, he will have Dhoni behind the stumps to go up to, but that may change if MSD chooses to answer those old-fashioned DRS calls. However, the changeover should go more smoothly in either case.
