The first match of IPL 2024 will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 22 at Chepauk Stadium. RCB fans are hoping that their team wins the title this year. Along with this, questions are also arising in their mind that what will be the playing eleven of their favorite team in the opening match. RCB has played three finals in this league so far, but lost all three finals. Now once again the fans of RCB are hopeful that their team will be successful in winning the title this year, but before the opening match, let us know what could be the playing eleven of RCB.
RCB included these players in the auction
RCB included some new faces in its team in the IPL auction held in Dubai on 19 December 2023. In the auction, RCB bought West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph for Rs 11.50 crore. At the same time, Indian left arm fast bowler Yash Dayal was also bought by RCB for Rs 5 crore. New Zealand's super fast bowler Lockie Ferguson was also included by RCB in its team. RCB also bought Tom Curran and Swapnil Singh in the auction.
Who will get a chance in the first match?
Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis would like to field his strong team in the opening match. It is almost certain that Virat Kohli, Australia's Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green will play in this. Apart from this, Yash Dayal can be seen supporting Mohammad Siraj in the fast bowling department. Wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik can be seen supporting Rajat Patidar in the middle order. Let us tell you that in IPL 2023, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli scored the most runs for Bangalore while batting. Both the batsmen had crossed the 600-run mark in the last season.
RCB's real test will be in Chepauk
Royal Challengers Bangalore will play their first match in the stronghold of Chennai Super Kings. RCB have failed to defeat Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led CSK since 2008, but Faf du Plessis has a good amount of experience which he can use against the Yellow Army at the Chepauk Stadium. If Bangalore has to win the IPL 2024 title this time, then apart from its top order, the middle order will also have to score runs. At the same time, the bowlers will also have to perform their best. Every time it has been seen that RCB's batting is completely disrupted after the early dismissal of the RCB top order. Despite making a big score, their bowlers failed to save runs.
RCB's probable playing 11
Faf du Plessis (captain), Virat Kohli, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik (wicketkeeper), Rajat Patidar, Mohammed Siraj, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Karn Sharma, Swapnil Singh.
