Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Live | IPL Live Commentary | RCB vs CSK Live The home crowd will thus relish the opportunity to witness the 42-year-old kick start the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a rip-roaring contest against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) here at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Friday. The contest will also herald a new chapter in the storied history of CSK after Ruturaj Gaikwad was named captain of the team on match eve, bringing Dhoni’s role in the side under greater spotlight. Since his retirement from international cricket in 2020, every year the IPL has seemed like a pilgrimage for the former India skipper as he soaks in the adulation and reverence across the breadth of the country, even as the inevitable question hangs heavy: ‘Until when?’ While Dhoni has learnt to dismiss the inquiry with distinctive cheekiness and ingenuity over the years, his emotional acknowledgement following Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) record-equalling fifth title win last year and his stepping down from captaincy on Thursday indicate this season could well be his swansong. First up against CSK will be a rejuvenated RCB, keen to flip the narrative after its women’s team snapped the franchise’s title jinx by clinching the Women’s Premier League crown last week. Under newly appointed coach Andy Flower, who has an illustrious resume in franchise leagues around the world, the Faf du Plessis-led side will be itching to breach CSK’s bastion for the first time since the inaugural season in 2008. However, it will have its task cut out in trying to upstage the most decorated team at home (66 wins in 100 matches) without the requisite personnel suited for the conditions. In a tournament where resources are equitably spread, success becomes a component of consistent strategy and asset optimisation, and CSK has done just that. Strangling the opposition with spin has been its mantra and the brains trust stuck to it at the most recent auction, adding spin all-rounder Rachin Ravindra and spin-basher Daryl Mitchell to the franchise’s Kiwi cohort.
