Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The wait is over as the world’s biggest cricket league, the Indian Premier League, will see CSK vs RCB go head to head against each other in the first match of IPL 2024.

The defending champions Chennai Super Kings will play their first match at their home ground, which has been their fortress in IPL where they win the most number of matches and this time it might be the last season for the Thalla of CSK MS Dhoni.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be motivated after their women’s team won the IPL trophy on March 17, 2024, against Delhi Capitals by 8 wickets and the Men’s team gave a guard of honor to them in their recent RCB event. Virat Kohli also said that they will try to make it double this year, but it will not be easy for them because they do not look like a very strong team.
