CSK vs RCB: IPL 2024 team news
Chennai created headlines on the eve of the 17th edition of the IPL as they announced that Ruturaj Gaikwad would be taking over the captaincy reins from MS Dhoni. Dhoni, who has led CSK in every season of the league, could also be playing his last edition in the IPL.
CSK are also troubled with several injury concerns. Devon Conway has been ruled out for at least the first half of the IPL due to a thumb injury. Matheesha Pathirana tore his hamstring during the T20Is between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and there is no update on his fitness. Mustafizur Rahman, who had to be stretchered off earlier this week during the third ODI against Sri Lanka has recovered and has flown to Chennai.
Bengaluru have a full-strength squad to choose from.
