With batting heavyweights like MS Dhoni, Devon Conway, and Ruturaj Gaikwad, along with all-around talents like Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja, CSK has a strong squad. Deepak Chahar and Mustafizur Rahman lead an equally formidable bowling arsenal that makes them a well-rounded team that can overwhelm any competition.

Players to watch out for in:
Rachin Ravindra
This year marks Rachin Ravindra’s IPL debut, and he could not have picked a better team than CSK. During the World Cup, Rachin already demonstrated his abilities on Indian pitches, but the IPL has its own unique dynamics. Rachin can score runs quickly and is a guy who will be a rock in the batting lineup. In addition to his ability to score, he can also contribute with the ball.
MS Dhoni
Dhoni is such a big name in the game that he can single-handedly hype up or crash the popularity of the IPL. All cricket fans, especially CSK fans, wait for the IPL only to watch this man play. He will be controlling the game from behind the stumps.
Possible Playing XI:
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra (replacing injured Devon Conway), Moeen Ali or Daryl Mitchell, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Matheesha Pathirana or Mustafizur Rahman
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Match Odds- 2.10)
Preview
The Indian Premier League is still unclaimed by RCB. They have made it to the finals three times, but they have never been able to advance past that point. They were on the verge of making the playoffs the previous season, but a Shubman Gill hundred stole an Eliminator spot from them.
Even though they have kept the majority of their team from the 2023 IPL, RCB appears stronger on paper thanks to a few acquisitions here and there. It remains to be seen if they can turn it into a campaign that wins a championship.
Last year, Kohli had an incredible season and made a strong opening partnership with du Plessis. With Green’s arrival, RCB hopes to maintain their current level of steadiness, as they now have a formidable middle order.
In his last season, RCB will be hoping that Karthik can replicate his IPL 2022 form and be able to complete games for them. After losing Wanindu Hasaranga, spin will be a little bit of a worry, but RCB’s pace battery is looking good thanks to the addition of three excellent seamers: Joseph, Dayal, and Ferguson. Fortunately, they don’t currently have many injuries to deal with.
Full Squad:
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Saurav Chauhan*, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green*, Suyash Prabhudessai, Mayank Dagar*, Manoj Bhandage, Will Jacks, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Tom Curran*, Swapnil Singh*, Mohammed Siraj, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Reece Topley, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Alzarri Joseph*, Yash Dayal*, Lockie Ferguson*
Players to watch out for in:
Virat Kohli
In the world of cricket, Virat Kohli, the beating heart of the Rajasthan Royals, is a titan. Kohli’s immaculate craftsmanship and constant resolve represent RCB’s fighting spirit, as he scored 7,263 runs in 237 IPL matches, including 50 fifties and seven centuries. His outstanding accomplishments, which include two century in the most recent season, highlight his unmatched value to the league.
Karn Sharma
Karn Sharma, the master of spin for the RCB, gives the bowling assault more finesse and control. With 69 wickets in 75 IPL games, Sharma’s capacity to restrict and take key wickets bolsters the RCB’s bowling attack by providing a spin alternative during pivotal moments of the match.
Possible Playing XI:
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Karn Sharma, Mayank Dagar, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Siraj.
