Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja showcased their exceptional skills in a clinical chase that led Chennai Super Kings to victory in their opening match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Despite Cameron Green's impressive performance with a couple of wickets in the middle overs, Dube and Jadeja's composure ensured CSK emerged victorious.

In the IPL 2024 opener at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Dinesh Karthik and Anuj Rawat's brief but impactful contributions helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru reach a total of 173/6. Mustafizur Rahman stood out as the top bowler for Chennai Super Kings, claiming four crucial wickets. Faf du Plessis won the toss and chose to bat first.
