IPL 2024, CSK vs RCB Score HIGHLIGHTS: Chennai beat Bengaluru by 6 wickets in the season opener at the MA Chidabaram Stadium in Chennai.
Background
Thank you for following ABP Live's live coverage of the inaugural match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai, where the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets.
The defending champions, CSK, are undergoing a notable transition as the legendary MS Dhoni hands over the captaincy reins to Ruturaj Gaikwad. This surprising decision, announced just a day before the new season commences, is perceived as a strategic manoeuvre aimed at facilitating a seamless transition, especially considering Dhoni's anticipated retirement at the end of the season.
With five IPL titles already in their illustrious history, CSK stand on the brink of creating history by clinching a sixth title, a milestone yet to be achieved by any team, including the formidable Mumbai Indians, who also boast five trophies to their name.
RCB Look To Replicate WPL Success
In the meantime, RCB would aim to draw inspiration from their women’s team, who clinched their inaugural Women’s Premier League title recently under the leadership of Smriti Mandhana. In RCB's lineup, skipper Faf du Plessis and star batsman Virat Kohli will spearhead the charge, complemented by Cameron Green's versatile skills. The addition of Glenn Maxwell adds further depth to their batting lineup, while the fast bowling unit offers a blend of pace and expertise.
