IPL 2024 RCB vs CSK : Today's match between RCB and CSK in IPL 2024 is very important. The eyes of every cricket fan are fixed on this match. The reason for this is that today's match is a knockout match. Whichever team wins this match will directly qualify for the playoffs. For this reason, there is a lot of discussion about this match. At the same time, 11 years old history can also be repeated in this match.
Actually, May 18 is a very special day for RCB and Virat Kohli. RCB has not lost a single match in IPL on this day and Virat Kohli has played many excellent innings on 18th May. On this day in IPL 2016, he played an explosive inning of 116 runs on 50 balls against Punjab Kings. Apart from this, in IPL 2023 itself, on May 18, he scored 101 runs on 63 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. From this it can be estimated how lucky this day is for them.
Another historical figure has come to light before today's match between RCB and CSK. There was a match between these two teams 11 years ago also on 18th May. In IPL 2013, the match between RCB and CSK was played on 18th May at Chinnaswamy and that too was the last match of both the teams in the league stage. The interesting thing here is that rain had disrupted that match also, as is being feared about today's match. RCB had won that match by 24 runs. After this, in IPL 2014 also, RCB defeated CSK in the match held on 18th May.
Let us tell you that if RCB wants to qualify for the playoffs, then they will not only have to defeat CSK but will also have to keep the margin of victory high. If the team bats first then they will have to win by at least 18 runs and if they bat later then they will have to chase the target of 180 runs in 18.1 overs.
