Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore are set to lock horns in the IPL 2024 season opener. The defending champions CSK are eyeing their 6th title this season, while Virat Kohli’s side has not yet gotten their hands on the prize. Chepauk, the den of CSK, will host the opening game.

Meanwhile, fantasy game players are also looking forward to the match and are keen to know about the CSK vs RCB pitch report, along with other information such as the last match scorecard between the two teams. Here, we have provided an analysis of the game which may help fantasy game users.

Ahead of the season, MS Dhoni has made the decision to hand over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. So, the CSK vs RCB match will mark Ruturaj’s IPL captaincy debut. On the other hand, Faf du Plessis is set to lead RCB for the third consecutive season. Under Plessis’ captaincy, RCB managed to enter the playoffs in 2022, but finished in 6th position in the 2023 season.

Virat Kohli will make his first outing since the T20I series against Afghanistan in January. The former RCB captain was on a break during this period and missed the India vs England Test series. Ravindra Jadeja is also making his return after recovering from a hamstring injury. CSK’s frontline pacer Deepak Chahar will also be seen on the field after a gap of 3 months.

CSK vs RCB Pitch Report for IPL 2024 match

The surface at MA Chidambaram Stadium typically exhibits a slow nature, offering assistance to spinners. However, on a fresh wicket at Chepauk, we can anticipate a more balanced contest between bat and ball. The toss winner of the CSK vs RCB match is expected to opt to bowl first.

Dream11 Prediction for RCB vs CSK, IPL 2024 Match

Many would disagree, but we recommend not picking Virat Kohli in the team. He is returning after two months and his current form is also not impressive. He scored just 29 runs in 2 games in last series against Afghanistan. Also, MS Dhoni may not make it to the Dream team. The former Indian batter bats down the order and may not get enough opportunities to bat.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is set to open for CSK, and Rachin Ravindra may replace Devon Conway as the second opener. In-form Ruturaj can be a good pick for the captain’s role. Additionally, as the surface is spin-friendly, Glenn Maxwell may play a key role for RCB. Maxwell could also make for a strong captaincy option.

Wicket-keeper: Dinesh Karthik

Batters: Ajinkya Rahane, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis

All-rounders: Ravindra Jadeja, Glenn Maxwell, Rachin Ravindra, Cameron Green

Bowlers: Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar

Options for Captain: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube

Vice Captain: Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Maxwell

Note: This Dream11 team is selected based on probable playing 11.

CSK vs RCB Head-To-Head Record in IPL History

Chennai Super Kings have held the upper hand over RCB, with Dhoni’s team emerging winner in 20 out of their 31 head-to-head encounters, while RCB has managed to win only 10. Moreover, in the last five head-to-head games, CSK has dominated RCB, winning four of them.
