Fans Troll RCB After CSK Beat Them In The IPL 2024 Opener – With today’s thrilling match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and reigning champions Chennai Super Kings, the 2024 Indian Premier League got off, kicking off what is sure to be an exciting season. A new era began for CSK just before the competition began when MS Dhoni passed the leadership baton to Ruturaj Gaikwad, causing a major upheaval.

The atmosphere at the stadium was electric as the sun dipped below the horizon. After winning the toss, RCB captain Faf du Plessis decided to bat first, signalling that the team would get off to a fast start. The audience was on the edge of their seats as Du Plessis wasted no time scoring 35 runs off of just 23 balls. With the swift wickets of du Plessis, Patidar, Kohli, Maxwell, and Cameron Green, RCB found themselves in a dangerous situation, and the momentum changed.

Under pressure, RCB rallied to post a respectable total of 173 for 6 in their 20 overs thanks to an inspired performance by Anuj Rawat (48 runs off 25 balls) and Dinesh Karthik (38 runs off 26 balls).

The match was already exciting before Virat Kohli’s return, which came after a nearly two-month break during which he had a kid and missed India’s triumphant test series against England. But Kohli’s comeback was not without its mixed reception; he scored 21 runs off of 20 balls before he left the play.
