CSK vs RCB Highlights, IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore:
A sensational four-fer from Mustafizur Rahman, followed by a composed innings of 34* from Shivam Dube helped Chennai Super Kings grab a clinical six-wicket win over rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore.
RCB powered themselves to a competitive total of 173, thanks to a seansational 95-run partnership between batters Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik.
Debutant Rachin Ravindra though came in clutch for CSK with some sensational shot-making to help CSK get off to a strong start. Despite timely dismissals from the likes of Cameron Green, RCB seemingly lacked focus in the field, giving away too many easy overthrows, and that is where CSK’s consistent running between the wickets came to hurt the visitors’ chances.
Jadeja and Dube put up a match-winning fifty partnership and smart shot selection from Shivam Dube helped Chennai seemingly cruise to an easy win for the home side.

The encounter between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (CSK) in Chennai will not only usher in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 but also a new dawn for the defending champions with iconic MS Dhoni handing over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. Dhoni is expected to retire at the end of this season and it seems the unanticipated move, just a day before the start of a new season, has been taken for a smooth transition.
The Super Kings are five-time champions, and a sixth title will put them in a space where no team has entered so far, not even Mumbai Indians, who also have five IPL trophies. On the other hand, the Royal Challengers, who recently grabbed their maiden title through the Women’s Premier League, will be eager to add a first IPL title to their shelf.
