CSK vs RCB IPL 2024 Live Score: Faf du Plessis Opts to Bat First After Winning Toss in Chennai

At Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, Faf du Plessis won the toss and chose to bat first in the opening match of the 17th IPL on Friday.

The focus is on MS Dhoni, who gave over the captaincy of CSK on match eve and gave Ruturaj Gaikwad control of the reigning champions. With Virat Kohli making his comeback to competitive cricket, there will be more attention focused on the match.

All the signs point to Dhoni mastering timing once more, just like he did with India. After winning their fifth championship with a young bowling unit, Gaikwad now has the opportunity to continue a great tradition with what is perhaps the best unit the team has ever put together.
