The defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be hosting Royal Challengers Bangalore in the opening match of IPL 2024 at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium or Chepauk Stadium in Chennai on 22nd March. Whenever these two teams meet each other during the IPL, the two cricketers that come first in the mind of all the fans are MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli.
Although, Dhoni has an immense fanbase in Chennai, Kohli catches the attention of the fans every time he comes to bat at Chepauk. The star RCB batter will be seen taking on the field again on 22nd March and will look to kickstart RCB’s IPL 2024 campaign with a big knock. The 35-year-old is currently the all-time leading run scorer of the tournament with 7263 runs from 237 IPL career matches at an average of 37.25.
However, talking about his IPL stats at Chepauk, Virat Kohli hasn’t been that impressive at CSK’s den.

His highest score on this ground is 58 runs off 47 balls in a match against CSK on 13th April, 2013.
Virat Kohli has shown tremendous form in recent times with a record-breaking 2023 ODI World Cup Campaign and is expected to repeat the same performance in the upcoming IPL season. The IPL 2024 is also going to be crucial for Kohli looking at the reports that he is likely to get excluded from the Indian Squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup.
