IPL 2018, RCB vs CSK: Expect some bling as Chennai, Bangalore renew rivalry

In the 24th match of Vivo Indian Premier League (IPL 2018) Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to renew their intense rivalry after two years. The teams will face each other at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru from 8 pm today. Chennai Super Kings will see today’s match as an opportunity to return to the top of the Vivo IPL points table.

With CSK absent from the two previous seasons of IPL, fans on either side were robbed of IPL's most celebrated rivalry. Though Mahendra Singh Dhoni's CSK lead Virat Kohli's RCB 13-7 in overall head-to-head records, the two teams have won three games each of the seven played at the high-scoring M Chinnaswamy Stadium so far. One of the games producied no result. As for IPL 2018, Dhoni's men have seemed much better than RCB, winning four of the five games they have played so far. The Virat Kohli-captained RCB, which have won two of their five matches, would be eager to win today and maintain the momentum after their win against Delhi Daredevils at home in the 19th match of IPL 2018.
