Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will go up against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Friday (March 22) in Match 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
This will be a very unique match for ardent CSK fans, as MS Dhoni will no longer be in charge of the Yellow Army. Ruturaj Gaiwkad will succeed him, as the defending champions will take the field in search of continuing their long-lasting legacy.
Thankfully, Gaikwad’s first assignment as CSK skipper will be in Chennai, where they have seen tremendous success over the last 16 years or so. In this article, we will analyse how teams have performed at this venue, and many more.
