In the inaugural clash of IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings, the defending champions, will face Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on March 22. The opening match is scheduled to commence at 8 pm IST, with subsequent games following the standard timings: 7.30 pm IST for evening matches and 3.30 pm IST for early games on double-header days.
This kickoff day marks the return of MS Dhoni to action, planning to join Chennai in early March for training after recovering from knee surgery post the last season's title win. Hardik Pandya, now leading Mumbai Indians, and Rishabh Pant, returning after a car accident, add anticipation to the tournament. The season includes 74 games, encompassing four playoff encounters.
