Chennai Super Kings, known for their reliance on New Zealand cricketers, have made a captaincy change only for the second time in IPL history. After a failed experiment with Ravindra Jadeja as captain in 2022, they reverted to MS Dhoni, winning the title in 2023.
RCB’s Team Composition:
Royal Challengers Bangalore, historically favoring South African and Australian players, introduce a twist this season with a dominance of English players in their foreign contingent. While securing a spot in the playing eleven might be tough for all three, RCB also has two Australian players, both expected to play.
