The match is to be held at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Now the question is, with which playing eleven can Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore take the field in the first match? Let us try to understand.

CSK has won the IPL title 5 times so far

CSK team under the captaincy of MS Dhoni has so far won the IPL title 5 times. This team had captured the trophy in the year 2023 also, hence this team is also the current champion. However, earlier in the year 2022, the team was in ninth position. But last year the team made a brilliant and tremendous comeback. This time new players like Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Shardul Thakur, Sameer Rizvi, and Mustafizur Rahman have come to the team. On which the team has spent a good amount of money. Among the players who were playing last year, Ben Stokes and Ambati Rayudu will not play.

IPL 2023 went well for RCB

If we talk about RCB, last year the team stood sixth, that is, it could not qualify for the playoffs. In the year 2022, the team’s performance was excellent and the team was successful in finishing in third position. It is another matter that the team’s title dream is still incomplete. This time new players like Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, Tom Curran, Yash Dayal, Mayank Dagar, and Swapnil Singh will be seen on the team. Out of the players who were playing last year, Harshal Patel, Josh Hazlewood, Wanindu Hasaranga, Shahbaz Ahmed, David Willey, Finn Allen, and Michael Bracewell are not on the team.

These players can be included in the possible playing eleven of CSK

In the presence of Devon Conway in the playing eleven of CSK, Rachin Ravindra may get the responsibility of opening along with Ruturaj Gaikwad. Ajinkya Rahane may get a chance at number three. The place of Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dubey, and Ravindra Jadeja as all-rounders seems almost certain. MS Dhoni can come at six or seven. The places of Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, and Mahesh Tikshana are also almost certain in the playing eleven. If we talk about impact players, it will be decided whether the team comes first in batting or bowling. In such a situation, the team can bet on Sameer Rizvi and Mustafizur Rahman.
