Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) will kick start with the clash of the giants. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are slated to take on defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the opening game at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. RCB has a poor record at Chepauk and will be looking to draw inspiration from RCB-W team to fight against the odds.
CSK vs RCB is a mammoth clash. But the Yellow Army has been an immovable object at their den. In fact, since 2008, RCB has managed to beat CSK only once away from home. As a result, RCB now has a 1-7 win record at the Chepauk.
While the odds might have been stacked against Faf du Plessis and his boys, but RCB will seek to draw inspiration from their women’s team. RCB Women created history when they went on to lift WPL 2024. Smriti Mandhana and her team similarly faced huge odds, but overpowered them to lift the maiden trophy for the franchise.
