CSK vs RCB IPL 2024: Faf Du Plessis...


The return of the indian Premier League is a fitting way to begin a new chapter in the league's history as the reigning champion chennai Super Kings and royal challengers Bangalore renew their southern derby rivalry. We have you covered as an exciting game is about to begin. 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 what better way to get the IPL started than with a southern derby? 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 will move on. 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.
