CSK vs RCB Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For Today’s CSK vs RCB Indian Premier League in MA Chidambaram Stadium, 8PM IST, Chennai

IPL 2024, India's very own cricket festival, is back among us. The first match is between CSK and RCB as Ruturaj Gaikwad makes his captaincy debut for Chennai Super Kings. There are plenty of stars in action today but all eyes will be on two cricketers particularly. They are former India captains and also ex-captains of their respective teams in IPL - MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. It goes without saying that these two must be there in your fantasy XI. Dhoni can be the keeper that you want and Kohli can be the batter and even your captain.

Cameron Green, Rachin Ravindra are two overseas pickes to watch out for. But picking them could be tricky as it will be their first match for the respective franchises if they are playing today. If Daryl Mitchell is playing, pick him. He may get to ball his medium pacers on slow and low Chennai surface and is a big six hitteras well.

As far as bowlers are concerned, Deepak Chahar will be hungry for wickets but will be a risky pick. Mohammed Siraj is a certain pick while also go for Maheesh Theekshana. To be on the safe side, pick Glenn Maxwell and Ravindra Jadeja as the all-rounders can help you win points.

Vice-Captain: Daryl Mitchell

Batters: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Suyyash Prabhudessai
