Important key points of this match:
Pathirana was ruled out, Biggest loss for CSK
One of the main factors contributing to CSK’s victory last season was Pathirana’s devastating bowling. But a major blow is that he will miss a few games for the team early on because of a hamstring issue. They do, however, have a replacement in Mustafizur Rahman of Bangladesh, who also experienced a near-accident during the team’s Twenty20 International Series against Sri Lanka. Although he recently joined the team in Chennai, it is unclear if he will play right away.
Rachin Ravindra is set to debut in the Indian Premier League 2024.
During the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, the top-order hitter from New Zealand scored 578 runs at an average of 64.22. Rachin would be an excellent choice to take over the opening position in the absence of his international partner. In addition to being a skilled pace bowler, the left-hander has demonstrated that he can go after the spinners, which is a crucial ability needed for a batter to succeed at Chepauk.
Rajat Patidar returns to the RCB.
Following the incredible century against the Lucknow Super Giants in the 2022 Eden Gardens Eliminator, it appeared as though RCB had discovered a reliable Indian hitter. But he was sidelined for the whole of the previous season by injury, which hurt Faf’s team because they didn’t have a solid middle-order bat in the middle, which contributed to their other dismal season in 2023.
