Now, the pressure is on the male counterparts. To add to the excitement, Chennai has drifted from its long-standing tradition by appointing Ruturaj Gaikwad as the CSK captain, after Dhoni stepped down from the position.

'Ruturaj has been an integral player of Chennai Super Kings since 2019 and has played 52 matches in IPL during his period. The team looks forward to the upcoming season' - said CSK in an official statement. 

Faf du Plessis, former player of CSK, will be stepping forward as RCB captain for the 3rd time. Once a crowd favorite in Chepauk, all eyes are now glued towards the sparkling lights that have been shining over the 22 yards in Chennai!

CSK vs RCB - The comeback

RCB's Virat Kohli is returning back after a two month break, and aiming to form ahead of the 2024 T20 world cup to be held in June.
