CSK vs RCB IPL Head-to-Head History: A Comprehensive Look at their Rivalry Record
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 schedule was revealed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday. The excitement begins in the IPL 2024 as Faf du Plessis’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) square off.
Next month on March 22, the first game will take place at the storied Chepauk Stadium. After 16 league seasons filled with exciting matches between the two teams, this matchup promises to be an exciting new chapter in their legendary rivalry.
Intense Rivalry: A Glimpse into the Historic Face-offs and Memorable Encounters
In the 31 IPL matches between CSK and RCB that have taken place over the years, CSK has won 20 of them, RCB has won 10, and one match has ended in a draw. These two teams’ most recent meeting took place at CSK’s home field. In the thrilling contest, Devon Conway (83 off 45) and Shivam Dube (52 off 27) put up outstanding performances to help CSK score a strong 226/6 total. Faf du Plessis (62) and Glenn Maxwell (76) of the RCB put on a heroic pursuit, but they were just unable to reach the goal.
In one such unforgettable match, MS Dhoni’s valiant efforts helped CSK win in Bangalore in 2018. Dhoni led CSK to an incredible victory with a brilliant unbeaten knock of 70* off just 34 deliveries, including seven sixes, despite a difficult chase of 206. But despite Dhoni’s incredible 84* off 48 balls a year later, CSK lost by just one run in a closely contested match at the same location.
CSK, one of the most successful teams in the league, has won the IPL trophy four times (2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021) under the direction of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Even though they have finished as runners-up three times (in 2009, 2011 and 2016), RCB has not yet won an IPL championship.
