CSK vs RCB Head to Head Records: All the records, Stats and Results – Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challenges Bengaluru (RCB) will kickstart IPL 2024 by taking on each other in the first match of the tournament. The much-awaited game is scheduled at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
CSK are the reigning champions and will be looking to start their title defence with a win in front of the home fans. The Chennai-based outfit suffered a number of injury blows even before the start of the season, and a win would give the team some much-needed positivity for the season.
Devon Conway has been sidelined at least until May due to a thumb injury, while Matheesha Pathirana is sidelined with a hamstring injury and is set to miss the start of the season. However, CSK is known for making the most of its limited resources and would be keen to prove it once again on Friday.
On the other hand, RCB would be eyeing a winning start to their campaign as well. While they could not have asked for a more challenging game to begin their season, a win against the reigning champions in their backyard would be a huge confidence booster for the Bengaluru-based outfit.
While CSK is eyeing a historic sixth IPL title this season, RCB is eyeing their first. RCB has yet to win the tournament and has not qualified for the final since 2016. They do have a strong squad and will be hoping to finally go all the way. Before CSK and RCB fight it out on the field, we are taking a head-to-head record between them.
