The excitement kicks off with MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) facing off against Faf du Plessis’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL 2024 at the iconic Chepauk Stadium on 22 March. Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL 2024 opening match marks the beginning of another thrilling chapter in their storied rivalry, with both teams having engaged in captivating battles across the 16 editions of the league.
CSK vs RCB Head to Head
Over the years, CSK and RCB have locked horns 31 times in IPL history, with CSK emerging victorious on 20 occasions, while RCB clinched 10 victories, with one match ending with no result.
The last time these two teams played each other was at CSK’s home ground. The high-scoring thriller witnessed CSK posting a formidable total of 226/6, thanks to stellar performances from Devon Conway (83 off 45) and Shivam Dube (52 off 27). RCB’s Faf du Plessis (62) and Glenn Maxwell (76) staged a valiant chase but fell just short of the target. However, New Zealand opener Devon Conway is all but ruled out of the upcoming IPL due to a left thumb injury that will take eight weeks to heal, dealing a blow to his franchise Chennai Super Kings.

King Kohli is just 1 run behind to complete 1000 runs against the yellow armies. As per Head-to-head records, RCB’s batting had clicked in the past despite losing 20 times against CSK. We have to be aware that Shivam Dube had two huge knocks against RCB, returning unbeaten once. In the meanwhile, CSK has lost Devon Conway for almost 80% of this tournament. This will hurt a bit if they don’t include a good replacement.

RCB’s bowling performance is the only evidence of why they underperform against CSK. However, Tom Currans’ entry might provide them a boost this season. There is a compact spin department indicating why CSK, once again, is going to dominate this season. But RCB’s spin department is not that much up-to-the-mark as always.
