🇮🇳 Date fixed for Indian Premier League. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face each other in the first match starting from March 22. What is special is that if RCB wins this match, a new history will be created. That means Royal Challengers Bangalore team (RCB) played the opening match 4 times in the history of IPL. But, it is remarkable that they did not win the first match against Chennai Super Kings.
The first IPL match of 2008 pitted RCB vs KKR. RCB chased down the target of 223 runs given by KKR in this match and were bowled out for just 82 runs. RCB started their IPL campaign with this defeat. After that, RCB team played the opening match for the second time in 2017. In this match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, RCB lost by 35 runs. Batting first in this match, SRH scored 207 runs while RCB were bowled out for 172 runs.
RCB won only once in the opening match. In the match against Mumbai Indians in 2021, RCB chased down the target of 161 runs and won by 2 wickets. Apart from this one win, RCB does not have a good record in the opening match. Thus a new history will be created if Royal Challengers Bangalore win the first match against traditional rival.
