The newest season of IPL is commencing today with the opening game to be played between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. As the kick-off is virtually hours away, here’s all you need to know about the game.
The opening match will be played at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai and it will be played between CSK and RCB. The game will start at 7:30 PM and it will be a night game. Clear skies are expected so there is no threat of rain for the time being.
The Chepauk pitch is known for its slow and low nature and it historically favors spinners. So we can expect spin to play a crucial role in the game today.
Coming to the head-to-head record of CSK and RCB, of the last 30 games, CSK has won 20 and RCB has won 10.
The game can be watched on Star Sports and can be streamed live on Jio Cinema(Free of cost).
