IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s RCB vs CSK Match

The 68th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Chennai Super Kings at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The match is scheduled for May 18th at 7:30 PM. This is the last game for both teams.

Over the years, both sides have played some thrilling and exciting contests. While Chennai Super Kings has been inconsistent this season, RCB has the chance to pull off the greatest heist to the playoffs in IPL history.

CSK and RCB have faced each other 32 times in the history of the IPL, with the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings having the upper hand with 21 victories. On the other hand, RCB has won 10 games, with one game ending in no result back in 2012.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru is currently in 7th position, while Chennai Super Kings are in 4th position. A win in this match, following the playoff scenarios, can see RCB making a last-minute entry to the top 4.

RCB has a great net run rate, and that’s the reason even 14 points can make their entry into the playoffs with a tie of points at 14 with CSK, DC, and LSG.

To replace the Super Kings in the top four, RCB needs to win the match by at least 18 runs if they score a minimum of 200 runs batting first or win in 18.1 overs if they are chasing 200.

Chennai Super Kings, meanwhile, will qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs if they win the match, regardless of the margin of victory.

Here are some records that could be broken in the match:

1. Kohli Eyes 700 IPL Fours

Virat Kohli, who is playing in the form of his life, will be hoping to continue it. Virat Kohli (699) needs one more four to reach 700 in the IPL.

2. Maxwell to Take 50 IPL Catches

Glenn Maxwell will be RCB’s best bet as an all-rounder in this match, hoping that “Big Show” fires. Glenn Maxwell (47) needs three more catches to reach 50 in the IPL.

3. Gaikwad All Set to Hit 100 Sixes

Ruturaj Gaikwad would be hoping to walk the talk and score runs in this important match. Ruturaj Gaikwad (91) needs nine more sixes to reach 100 sixes in the IPL.

This is the match of the season where all eyes will be glued to watch their favorite teams across the globe. This is a virtual knockout match, and if RCB wins, the scenes will be crazy at the stadium.
