The first match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is now less than 24 hours away. The curtain-raiser of the cash-rich T20 tournament will begin with a match between defending champions Mumbai Indians and last year's runners-up Chennai Super Kings. In the very first match of IPL 2020, CSK skipper MS Dhoni, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo can make these big records.

Flamboyant all-rounder Dwayne Bravo Can Become The Highest Wicket-Taker For Chennai Super Kings (CSK) 

West Indies star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has taken 118 wickets in 103 matches for Chennai Super Kings so far in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Bravo, who is most likely to be in the CSK's playing XI against Mumbai Indians (MI), can become the highest wicket-taker for the franchise if he manages to pick three wickets in the first match of IPL 2020. Former CSK player and star spinner R Ashwin, who will play for Delhi Capitals this season, sits at the top of this list with 120 wickets.

BIG RECORDS Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni can make in IPL 2020 Tournament Opener Vs Mumbai Indians (MI)

MS Dhoni has captained Chennai Super King (CSK) in 160 matches, in which the franchise under his captaincy has won a total of 99 matches. If CSK under Mahi's captaincy wins the IPL 2020 curtain-raiser against Mumbai Indians on Saturday, he will attain the record of leading the franchise to 100 victories as the captain.

The hard-hitting wicket-keeper batsman has smashed 297 fours in the T20 League. If Dhoni manages to hit three more boundaries in the IPL 2020 opening game against Mumbai Indians on September 19, he can become the 15th batsman to hit 100 fours in Indian Premier League (IPL).

When it comes to hitting the ball over the rope for a six, Mahi is an expert. If the veteran manages to hit four sixes in the CSK vs MI IPL 2020 match on Saturday, he will surpass RCB's AB de Villiers (212 sixes) to become the second batsman to score the highest number of sixes in the history of the tournament.

Senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja can attain this big record! CSK star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has so far scored 1,927 runs and taken 108 wickets in the IPL. The veteran on Saturday can become the only player to score 2,000 runs and pick 100 wickets in the tournament by scoring 73 runs during CSK vs MI match on September 19.
