The Indian Premier League 2024 commenced on March 22 with an electrifying clash between the defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
In a surprising turn of events, Chennai Super Kings announced on the eve of the season opener that the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni has chosen to step down as the captain of the five-time champions. This decision marked a significant transition for the team as they embarked on their journey in the IPL 2024 season under the new leader, Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Due to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in the country, the IPL organizers have released the schedule for the first 21 matches of the tournament. During this period, spanning until April 7, CSK is slated to play four matches. Alongside the season opener against RCB, Chennai Super Kings will face off against Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The schedule features a mix of home and away games for the CSK side, now under the leadership of newly appointed captain Gaikwad. This period marks a crucial phase for the team as they aim to make their mark in the tournament and set the tone for the remainder of the season.
