CSK vs RCB: Dhoni faces a huge challenge today, know how will be the playing eleven of both the teams?

Indian Premier League 2024 is going to start from today, Friday 22nd March. The first match will be played between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While CSK under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad will start their campaign with a win, RCB will also want to start with a win. Before this big match, let us tell you what the playing eleven of both teams could be like?

The last Indian Premier League saw CSK, led by MS Dhoni, defeat the Gujarat Titans and win the championship. Along with the team captain, many other players have changed since then. Despite this, the team's core members have not changed. Once more, MS Dhoni will play the wicketkeeper-batsman position. Although it won't be simple for RCB to overcome CSK on their home ground, Virat Kohli's squad will make every effort to prevail.
