MS Dhoni Steps Down, Ruturaj Gaikwad Takes Over

The Indian Premier League 2024 started with a bang as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Before the game, there was big news that MS Dhoni had handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad, making fans very excited.

RCB Bats First

RCB’s captain, Faf du Plessis, won the toss and decided to bat. He quickly scored 35 runs, but soon RCB lost many important players like du Plessis, Patidar, Kohli, Maxwell, and Cameron Green. This left the team struggling.

A Saving Partnership

Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik came to the rescue with their partnership, scoring 48 and 38 runs, respectively. Their effort helped RCB finish with a score of 173 for 6.

Virat Kohli’s Return

Virat Kohli came back to cricket after a break, but only scored 21 runs. This was his first game after taking a break for personal reasons and missing India’s series against England.
