The 24th game of the Indian Premier League 2023 will see the Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) take on four-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Monday, April 17.

While Chennai will be coming into the game on the back of a loss, Bangalore will look to capitalise on their win from their previous game. 

Led by MS Dhoni, Chennai will be keen on registering their third win of the IPL 2023. Despite a minor setback in their previous game, the four-time champions will come forth and will most likely give it their all to stay in the race for qualification for the playoffs. Bangalore, on the other hand, would be brimming with confidence after their recent win against Delhi Capitals as they defeated them by 23 runs.

Virat Kohli:
