Indian Premier League: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and elected to bat first against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the opening match of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, here on Friday.
While CSK are five-time champions, RCB are still in search of their maiden IPL trophy but continue to remain favourites, having star players on their side. The two teams have faced each other in 31 matches with the yellow brigade having the upper hand. CSK have won 20 matches while one match has ended in no result, with RCB winning 10 of them. When it comes to the last five games, the team from Chennai has a 4-1 lead as well.
RCB captain, Faf du Plessis said, “We'll bat first. Looks like a good wicket, conditions here are a bat-first wicket. First time back here, great to see the Chennai fans again but I'm here with RCB and hopefully we can turn over a very good CSK team. Prep has been good, we need to turn up now."
