RCB Playing 11 for CSK vs RCB IPL 2024 Match 1, Royal Challengers Bangalore Team News and Player Availability

Royal Challengers Bangalore are all set to take on Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2024 opener. The match will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday, March 22.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru made the headlines by trading the Aussie all-rounder Cameron Green ahead of the auctions as they once again are looking like a batting-heavy side. The unit of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell will once again have to do the heavy lifting for the RCB.

In the bowling department, Mohammed Siraj will lead the attack alongside Akashdeep, Yash Dayal, and the foreign imports Lockie Ferguson and Alzarri Joseph. However, the RCB are looking light in the spin department and it will be interesting to see their performance in the IPL 2024.
