The IPL 2024 first opener CSK vs RCB match will start in a just few hours at 8 pm IST. The first IPL 2024 CSK vs RCB will start after the IPL 2024 Opening ceremony at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
But before Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore kick off the 17th season of TATA IPL 2024, MS Dhoni dropped a bomb of stepping down from the CSK captaincy.
This year for the first time CSK new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad will lead the Yellow squad. On the other end, we have RCB captain Faf du Plessis who had been CSK’s player in the past.
So much has changed in the last few hours, so who will win today’s IPL 2024 Match 1?
Who will win today’s CSK vs RCB match?
In the 31 IPL face-off between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, the CSK became the winner 20 times and RCB won 10 matches. One CSK vs RCB match has no result. Speaking of winning at Chepauk Stadium, RCB won just one match in comparison to seven by CSK.
However both Yellow and Red-Blue have gone through major changes from captaincey to new players. And with that, you never know when the wind starts to blow in one direction to another. So let’s have a look at the CSK and RCB team analysis for today’s IPL 2024 match.
Chennai Super Kings Team Analysis IPL 2024
One big change made in the CSK is that MS Dhoni will no longer lead the team, instead, opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad is the new CSK skipper ahead of IPL 2024. Another big change is Devon Conway who is going to miss out on IPL 17th season due to a thumb injury.
To replace Devon Conway’s first place, Chennai bagged Kiwi’s Rachin Ravindra for the whopping amount of 1.8 crore who will start opening with captain Gaikwad. Other than R Ravindra, Shardul Thakur (Rs. 4 crore), Daryl Mitchell (Rs. 14 crore), Sameer Rizvi (Rs. 8.40 crore), Mustafizur Rahman (Rs. 2 crore), and Avanish Rao Aravelly (Rs. 20 lakh) are players who bought by the CSK in the IPL 2024 auction.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Team Analysis IPL 2024
Royal Challengers Bangalore has bagged seven players ahead of IPL 2024 including Alzarri Joseph (Rs. 11.50 crore), Yash Dayal (Rs. 5 crore), Tom Curran (Rs. 1.5 crore), Lockie Ferguson (Rs. 2 crore), Swapnil Singh (Rs. 20 lakhs), and Saurav Chauhan (Rs. 20 lakh).
However, one thing RCB lacks in today’s IPL 2024 match is good spinners as MA Chidambaram Stadium has a slow wicket pitch assisting the spinners. Once again the burden will be on the top three RCB batters Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell.
Conclusion
All the records and data are going to the Chennai Super Kings’ favor in today’s IPL 2024 match 1. The winning chances of CSK are 80%-70% much more than RCB’s 20%-30% at Chepauk Stadium. However, you can’t say about cricket until the very last over.
