Today marks the beginning of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League, aka IPL. This Cricket league needs no introduction as it has become an emotion for Cricket lovers, and it has been entertaining the viewers for over one and a half decades now. The latest edition of 2024 will be kickstarted with a high-voltage drama between two of the most celebrated Cricket franchises, CSK and RCB.
Dhoni – The biggest draw for Chennai Super Kings
Both Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore enjoy a massive fan following not just in India but also internationally. Coming to Chennai’s team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been the biggest draw to date, and his name is enough to set the ticket counters on fire. As a captain, he has handled the team for 14 editions and enjoys an impressive winning record.
King Kohli – The force of Royal Challengers Bangalore
For Royal Challengers Bangalore, there have been several star players, but the biggest crowd-puller remains ‘King’ Virat Kohli. The run machine has been super consistent with his bat, but sadly, the team never got the title under his captaincy for 7 seasons. Even his winning record as a captain isn’t that good.
In the past 16 seasons, CSK and RCB have faced each other on 31 occasions. And as Chennai’s team has been under the leadership of ‘captain cool’ MS Dhoni, they are dominating the chart of success. To date, out of 31 matches, Chennai has won a staggering 20 contests, which equals an impressive winning ratio of 64.51%.
On the other side, RCB’s track record isn’t that good, as they have won 10 contests out of a total of 31 clashes. If calculated, the success ratio of Bangalore’s team is just 32.25%. One remaining contest was a no-result match.
Highest & lowest score
Talking about more exciting stats, in clashes between CSK and RCB, the highest score to date is 226 runs, which was scored by Chennai. The lowest score in these contests has been 70 runs, which was scored by Bangalore.
About today’s contest
For those who don’t know, Ruturaj Gaikwad will handle the captaincy of CSK for this season. For RCB, Faf du Plessis will be taking care of captaincy. The match is scheduled to take place today at 8 pm (Indian Standard Time), and the live-action will be available on the Star Sports channel or the JioCinema app. The opening battle of IPL 2024 will take place in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium.
