The inaugural match of the IPL 2024 will take place on March 22 at M Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai, between the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
The explosive batter cleared the air over Virat Kohli’s prolonged absence from the Indian team on February 19, when he announced the birth of his second child.
Having been selected for the Indian team for the first two Test matches, Kohli withdrew, leaving himself out of the remaining three.

The BCCI also respected Kohli’s decision and asked the media to give Kohli privacy.
However, India’s legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar made a massive comment during a Star Sports promotional event. His comment came as a major heartbreak for the Kohli fans.
Gavaskar questioned on Monday whether the top hitter would participate in the 2024 Indian Premier League.
Shaayad ho sakta hai ke IPL ke liye bhi na khele (Will he play…), kuchh cause ke liye khel nahin rahe hain. For some reason, he’s not playing. When asked whether Kohli would be hungry for runs in the IPL as he would be making his comeback to action following a lengthy sabbatical, Gavaskar responded rather cheekily, “Perhaps he may not play in the IPL as well.”
On March 22 at M Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai, the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the opening match of the IPL 2024.
Notably, RCB will be trying to win the championship this year, and as usual, Kohli’s play will be essential to the team’s success.
