The 24th league match of the IPL 2023 will feature a titanic showdown between four-time champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnawamy. The MS Dhoni team enters the contest following a close loss to the league-leading Rajasthan Royals.
The Chennai Super Kings‘ top order has looked excellent so far in the tournament, but its iconic captain is getting a lot of attention after nearly pulling off an incredible run chase against the Royals in the previous game.
Given his outstanding history against the 2016 IPL finalists, former Indian captain MS Dhoni enjoys competing against the Bangalore-based team.
Second-most runs scored by a hitter against RCB in the IPL (838), according to MS Dhoni record against them.
Behind David Warner’s 962 runs against the team, the legendary CSK captain has scored 849 runs in 32 innings against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. When he is out to bat at the Chinnaswamy on Monday, he will be attempting to increase his total.
IPL record for most sixes versus RCB (46)
The former Indian captain is known for his powerful hitting, and with 235 career maximums, he ranks fourth among all six-hitters in tournament history. The most by any player against RCB, 46 of his 235 sixes have come against his next opponents.
IPL captain with the most runs scored against RCB (789)
The CSK captain became the first person in history to captain the Yellow Army 200 times when he did so against Rajasthan Royals. The most by a captain against Faf du Plessis’ squad during his time as captain was his 789 runs against RCB.
After a lackluster IPL 2022, the legendary CSK captain has found his power-hitting skills this season. When the two teams face off, there will be fireworks, and it will be interesting to observe how the Bangalore-based team handles having a revitalized MS Dhoni at the bowling crease at the Chinnaswamy.
