New Delhi. The wait for IPL 2024 is over. The first match of IPL 2024 will be played after a few hours. In this match, defending champion Chennai Super Kings faces Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both the teams are entering with their biggest changes in IPL history. While Chennai Super Kings has changed its magical captain MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli’s team has changed its name to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Earlier its name was Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Chennai Super Kings has changed its captain for only the second time in IPL history. The first time when he made Ravindra Jadeja the captain in 2022, it flopped badly. After this, Chennai Super Kings made MS Dhoni the captain again and also won the title in 2023.
The only team in IPL, which does not have a single player from Australia, Africa and West Indies, still the opponents tremble.
Every franchise has special trust in any captain or players. As everyone knows about Chennai Super Kings, this team has always liked New Zealand cricketers more than Australia, England or West Indies. There is not a single player from Australia or West Indies in the Chennai team.
There are 8 foreign players in the current team of Chennai Super Kings. Of these, 4 players Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell and Mitchell Santner are from New Zealand. Of these, 2 or 3 can be seen in the playing eleven. The other four foreigners in the Chennai team are cricketers from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and England. CSK team also includes Sri Lanka’s Mathisha Pathirana, Mahesh Teekshana, England’s Moeen Ali and Bangladesh’s Mustafizur Rahman.
Dhoni has played IPL under whose captaincy before Rituraj, do you know these 2 names?
Talking about Royal Challengers Bangalore, this team has mostly given preference to players from South Africa and Australia. But this time there seems to be a little confusion. This time in RCB, out of 8 foreign cricketers, maximum 3 are from England. These players are Will Jacques, Reece Topley, Tom Curran. But it is difficult for these three players to get a place in the playing eleven. On the other hand, Australia has only two players and both are certain to appear in the match. The captain of the current team is Faf du Plessis of South Africa, who will definitely play. The team also has one player each from West Indies and New Zealand.
Probable playing XI of Chennai Super Kings (including impact players): Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dubey, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mahesh Tikshana.
Probable playing XI of Royal Challengers Bangalore (including impact players): Faf du Plessis (captain), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Vijaykumar Vishak/Akash Deep, Mohammad Siraj, Alzarri Joseph/Lockie Ferguson/Reece Topley.
