Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are set to clash in the Indian Premier League 2024 opening match at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk on Friday, March 22. CSK have recorded four wins in last five encounters against RCB and are favourites to win in the IPL 2024 opener.
The 2024 edition of the IPL is set to kick off in Chennai on Friday, March 22 with the defending champions Chennai Super Kings set to take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru. CSK changing their captain from MS Dhoni to Ruturaj Gaikwad has certainly added a different layer to the contest.
MS Dhoni has stepped down as the captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the IPL 2024 season. CSK's opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad is the new captain of the franchise.
Rishabh Pant is just two games away from completing 100 matches in the Indian Premier League. The southpaw was dearly missed by Delhi Capitals during IPL 2023 and his comeback to the outfit is expected to bring a change in fortunes.
Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa became the latest cricketer to pull out from IPL 2024 citing personal reasons. Although it won't be a huge blow to the Rajasthan Royals, who have the best spin attack of all 10 teams, Zampa was a world-class backup for slow surfaces nonetheless.
"It is a privilege. More than that, it is a huge responsibility but I am really excited because of the kind of group we have. Everyone's experienced enough so not much of a thing for me to do," Ruturaj Gaikwad said in his first reaction.
A day before a mega opening clash in the IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings shocked the cricket world by announcing Ruturaj Gaikwad as the new captain of the franchise, replacing legendary MS Dhoni who begged five titles as a CSK skipper and holds the record for highest win percentage as IPL captain.
The Australian court observed that Seema Shergill worked seven days a week for 17.5 hours a day over 13 months between April 2015 and May 2016. It noted that the lady had worked under the circumstances of "slave-like conditions."
In a major blow, Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals will be without their key overseas spinner for the IPL 2024. The Royals also kick off their IPL 2024 campaign without a star Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna, who was ruled out due to a quadriceps injury.
MS Dhoni handed over captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad a day before the opening game of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. CSK are scheduled to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season opener at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
