CSK vs RCB:In the Indian Premier League 2024 match, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The sea of yellow is expected to welcome ‘Thala’ MS Dhoni while many will be cheering for Virat Kohli who is making a comeback to competitive cricket after a good break.
However, it remains to be seen how fans will react after Dhoni stepped down from the CSK captaincy on the eve of CSK’s match against RCB. Making a dynamic return to the team, Rasheen Ravindra is set to make his debut for CSK in the absence of Devon Conway. Sri Lankan Mahesh Thekshana is expected to be one of the four overseas players for CSK’s playing 11 on home soil, which has historically favored spinners. For RCB, it remains to be seen whether Lockie Ferguson or Reece Topley will get the match or not.
