The eagerly awaited cricket spectacle, the Indian Premier League, is back with its 17th edition, featuring an exciting clash between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the tournament opener.  

In the heart of Chennai at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, the Royal Challengers Bangalore are making full use of their time, getting acclimated to the conditions with rigorous practice sessions at Chepauk ahead of the tournament opener. 

In a bold pre-IPL 2024 decision, the CSK team has appointed Ruturaj Gaikwad as the new captain, just a day before the tournament, while the legendary Dhoni steps down amid expectations that this may mark his final IPL season. 

At Chepauk, the joint practice sessions of Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore witnessed a delightful moment captured on camera, featuring RCB captain Faf du Plessis sharing a light-hearted moment with CSK's new leader, Ruturaj Gaikwad. 

Chennai Super Kings enter this game with confidence, backed by the advantage of playing at home and a solid winning record against RCB at this venue. However, the spotlight falls on captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, whose leadership will be tested in this contest.   

Another point of interest will be MS Dhoni's potential return to wicket keeping duties for Chennai Super Kings after his surgery and subsequent recovery. While he appears to be in fine form, his performance behind the stumps adds an element of anticipation to the match.
