Pitch Report :

The pitch at the MA Chidambaram stadium is expected to provide a decent amount of support to both batters and bowlers in this game. Although the pacers have accounted for nearly 70 percent of the wickets in the last five matches, spin is likely to play a big role in this match. Dew is expected to play a role in the match at Chepauk. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with the pitch expected to slow down as the match progresses. So spinner likes Theekshana and Karn Sharma are going to be crucial at this pitch. The spinners can be the match winning factor at Chennai.

Average first innings score here is 178 runs so far.

Weather Report :

The temperature is expected to hover around 30°C on the Friday with 78% humidity and 18 km/hr wind speed. There are no chances of rain during the match.

Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Suyash Prabhudessai, Alzarri Joseph, Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal (IMP).

Preview :

The Indian Premier League’s inaugural match in 2024 will see the defending champion Chennai Super Kings against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 22, 2204. This match will take place in Chennai at the MA Chidambaram (Chepauk) Stadium. Both team will aim to start their IPL 2024 campaign with a win.

MS Dhoni will return to leading Chennai Super Kings in yet another IPL season. His former CSK teammate Faf du Plessis will lead the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kohli and Faf were among the top scorers in the last IPL season.

CSK roped in six players at the IPL 2024 auction namely, Rachin Ravindra (Rs. 1.8 crore), Shardul Thakur (Rs. 4 crore), Daryl Mitchell (Rs. 14 crore), Sameer Rizvi (Rs. 8.40 crore), Mustafizur Rahman (Rs. 2 crore), Avanish Rao Aravelly (Rs. 20 lakh). They have tried buying backups for a few players. They have been hit by a big blow with Devon Conway missing the first phase of IPL 2024 with a thumb injury. He missed the Australia Tests leading into the IPL as well.

RCB roped in as many as seven players in the IPL 2024 auction looking to strengthen their bowling. 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), Saurav Chauhan (Rs. 20 lakh) but that does not seem to have solved the problem. The absence of a reputed Indian spinner in their ranks will add to the pressure. RCB released Yuzvendra Chahal ahead of IPL 2022 and released the likes of Harshal Patel and Wanindu Hasaranga ahead of the IPL 2024 auction. The onus will be again on the batters to deliver with the top three of Kohli, Faf, and Maxwell needing to do the bulk of the runs.
