IPL 2024, CSK vs RCB Highlights: Chennai Super Kings beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets in the IPL opener at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Friday. RCB recovered to 173 for six against CSK after opting to bat.
Formrer West Indies captain Chris Gayle feels MS Dhoni might not play all the games for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2024 after stepping down as captain on the eve of their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Friday. CSK defeated RCB in the IPL 2024 opener by six wickets to get their title defense underway in style at the Chepauk. Dhoni played under new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad's leadership, but did not get the chance to bat. After CSK's win over RCB, Gayle said Dhoni might take a break between the tournament, but backed the veteran to do well in the tournament.
The 17th editions of the Indian Premier League (IPL) kicked off on Friday with defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) outclassing Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. It was Ruturaj Gaikwad's first game in charge as CSK captain after MS Dhoni stepped down from his role on the eve of the IPL 2024 opener. For Gaikwad, overseas stars Mustafizur Rahman and Rachin Ravindra took the charge and guided CSK to a six-wicket win.
A pleased Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad termed Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell's quick dismissals as the turning point of their IPL opener against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Mustafizur Rahman (4/29) blew away the top-order allowing CSK to limit RCB to 173/6 on a good track. "We had total control right from the start," Gaikwad said at post-match presentation ceremony after CSK scripted a six wicket win.
Chennai Super Kings journey under new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad began on a good note as the five-time champions defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets in Chennai. RCB scored 173/6 batting first and CSK chased down the target quite easily. Replacing an impactful figure like MS Dhoni is never easy and the same is with Ruturaj Gaikwad. "Feel privileged. But I want to try and be in my shoes, not fill anybody's shoes," he said before the start of the tournament.
Mustafizur Rahman brought back memories of his rookie days with his cerebral variations but an impressive rear-guard action from Anuj Rawat took Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a respectable 173 for six in the IPL opener on Friday. However on a good batting track, the total might not be enough to stop CSK.
Mustafizur Rahman set it up with his bagful of cerebral variations before Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube got the job done with their superlative finishing skills to script a comfortable six-wicket win for Chennai Super Kings over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL opener on Friday. CSK, who have not lost to RCB at home since 2008, thus kept their enviable record intact. Mustafizur, with his best ever IPL figures of 4/29 in four overs, was largely responsible for restricting RCB to 173 for six on a good batting track, where a 95-run sixth wicket stand off 50 balls between Anuj Rawat (48 off 25 balls) and Dinesh Karthik (38 not out off 26 balls) was the visitors' only saving grace.
Chennai Super Kings came out all guns blazing against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2024 opener on Friday. Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman breathed fire as he broke the back of CSK with four wickets in his first two overs. He scalped Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green. This is CSK's first match under new skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and his team gave their all with bowling as well as fielding. It was evident as Virat Kohli was caught by brilliant teamwork from Rachin Ravindra and Ajinkya Rahane.
