3 teams have been decided for the playoffs of IPL 2024. After Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad has also made its place. Now only the fourth team is left to be decided, for which Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings will clash. The blockbuster match is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 18 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where two of the biggest superstars of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, will face each other. All eyes will be on what wonders this pair will do with their bat, but both the giants are busy preparing separately.
People watching are eagerly waiting
Everyone is eagerly waiting for this match to be held in Bengaluru. On one side is Bengaluru, which after 7 losses in 8 matches, made a strong comeback by winning 5 consecutive matches and entered the race for the playoffs. On the other hand is Chennai who have kept themselves in the race despite an up and down season under the new captain. On one side there is Virat Kohli, who has answered all the questions and criticisms with his bat, while on the other side there is Dhoni, who is making the fans happy with his explosive batting, but there is also a fear in everyone's mind. That this could be his last match.
Dhoni and Kohli have similar style
Now the wait is for the evening of 18th May, when both these giants will try their best to reach the playoffs by defeating their respective teams. But in the pictures that have surfaced before this, the faces of both of them appear to be similar. Two days before the match, Dhoni and Kohli were seen not only batting practice but also trying their hand at bowling.
The video went viral on social media
Chennai Super Kings posted a video on social media, in which star wicketkeeper-batsman Dhoni was showing off his off-spin during a nets session. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore posted a photo of Virat Kohli, in which he is seen preparing to bowl. So will Dhoni and Kohli show their magic not only with the bat but also with the ball in this match?
Will fans see this scene?
Now the truth is that this is unlikely to happen as Dhoni will try to make an impact in the match from behind the stumps, while Kohli will look for opportunities to catch or run out in the outfield apart from saving runs with his agile fielding. However, fans want every opportunity to see both the great players in all kinds of action, be it batting, fielding/wicketkeeping or bowling.
