New Delhi. IPL 2024 is going to start from tomorrow. The first match will be played between last year’s champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at M Chinnaswamy, Chennai. Both the teams have reached Chennai and are practicing vigorously there. Now the question is that what will be the playing 11 of both the teams in the first match, so let us tell you about the possible 11 of Chennai and Bengaluru teams.
Chennai Super Kings has won the title 5 times in IPL. As the year 2024 is likely to be Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s last year, Chennai team will come to this IPL to win the IPL title for the sixth time. On the other hand, if we talk about Bengaluru team, this team under the captaincy of Faf Duplessis will come with the intention of ending the drought of 17 years. In the recently concluded WPL, RCB team created history and won the title. In such a situation, the men’s team would also like to create history by winning the IPL trophy. The first match of Bengaluru (RCB) is with the team which is considered to be the most successful team in the history of IPL.

These players can be included in CSK’s playing 11!
One thing is said about Dhoni that he does not like to tinker too much with his playing 11. In such a situation, the same 11 that Chennai will have in the first match can be seen playing almost throughout the IPL. In the first match, Rachin Ravindra will open the innings with Ruturaj Gaikwad, players like Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dubey will be seen playing in the middle order. Along with Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the lower order, Jadeja and Shardul Thakur will have the big responsibility of finishing the innings. Dhoni has many options in bowling, in which Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Mahesh Tikshana are almost certain to play.
CSK’s probable 11
Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane(Moeen Ali), Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (captain), Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Mahesh Tikshana.
Impact Player: Sameer Rizvi, Mustafizur Rahman
