The 2024 Indian Premier League is set to kick off on March 22, with defending champions Chennai Super Kings facing off against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the iconic M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
CSK and RCB are two of the most popular franchises in the tournament, boasting star players such as MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of MS Dhoni to the field after a year, as this may be his final season as captain of CSK.
Meanwhile, there are doubts surrounding Virat Kohli's selection for the T20 World Cup due to his strike rate. This IPL season will serve as a final opportunity for cricketers to secure their spot in the prestigious event, which is scheduled to take place in the USA and West Indies in June.
