CSK vs RCB Dream11, IPL 2024 Match 1: Prediction, Possible Playing 11 and Squads as Dhoni and Kohli lock horns

CSK vs RCB Dream11, IPL 2024 Match 1: MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Faf du Plessis' Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai on Friday, March 22.

The high-octane opening match will witness Virat Kohli go against MS Dhoni. The match will also feature the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Maxwell, Faf du Plessis and Shardul Thakur.

RCB have already landed in Chennai. Virat Kohli revealed that the team was to board a charter flight late on Tuesday night after the RCB Unbox event. Both the teams would be aiming for a winning start in the tournament.

Royal Challengers Bangalore don't boast of a very good record at the Chepauk. The slow nature of the surface has caused trouble to the flamboyant Bangalore batters. In fact, CSK have won four of their last five matches. In their last encounter, CSK defeated RCB by eight runs.
