The Indian Premier League (IPL) starts with an explosive Friday clash between CSK and RCB. They are the two most popular and successful franchises in the league.
MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, two Indian batting greats, will undoubtedly turn heads towards them as they set the stage for a gripping and unforgettable game.
Indian Premier League might turn out to be Dhoni’s last shot. He has already revealed his plan to retire towards the end of the season.
He last handed over CSK captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. However, his wealth of experience and leadership counsel still hold him in high esteem.
Get ready for the game of the IPL season, CSK vs RCB, and see whether the master blaster Kohli will wreak havoc again on the IPL!
Watch out on Star Sports or the JioCinema app and website.
Kohli is back in the team after a brief absence for the birth of his child. He is out to prove his detractors wrong and get back into form.
RCB, with their captain Faf du Plessis in the lead, needs the first IPL championship, but the records of the head-to-head battle against CSK are very alarming. CSK has effectively won 20 of their 31 meetings in this rivalry.
RCB’s women’s team recently won women’s IPL. So, now it is the turn of the men’s team to stop that winning streak. Kohli’s batting now relies heavily on a powerful start from the openers.
It is anticipated that this face-off will be accompanied by pyrotechnics. If Dhoni can stop Kohli, he might rub off some of his luck on his team and set the tone for CSK’s second title defense.
What will be the outcome? Will the RCB’s old nemesis be left behind, and will a new age be ushered in? Or will RCB finally overcome their foe and usher in a new era?
