CSK vs RCB Records: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in match 1 of IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday (March 22) with the game set to start at 7:30 PM IST.

There will be a new face leading defending champion CSK after Mahendra Singh Dhoni handed over the captaincy to rising star batter Ruturaj Gaikwad just a day before the tournament curtain-raiser.

CSK-led by a new skipper in Ruturaj Gaikwad will look to get the better of his former opening partner Faf Du Plessis and RCB at the Den, where the home side has won seven on the trot against their southern rivals.

The two sides, however, will clash for the first time at the Chepauk since 2019, having met at different venues in the past four seasons. In 2023, CSK and RCB last met at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where the Chennai Super Kings ran out winners by 8 runs in a high-scoring thriller.

Everyday and every match in IPL could see a player create a record or surpass a milestone. On Friday (March 22), several players, including Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja have a chance to reach milestones or break records. Here is a look at the records in sight:
