CSK beat RCB by six wickets

In the opening encounter of the (IPL) 2024, Mustafizur Rahman made an impactful debut for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by showcasing his bowling prowess against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Operating with precision and guile, Mustafizur's spell of 4-29 in four overs proved instrumental in restricting RCB to a modest total of 173/6, despite a resilient partnership between Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik.

Chennai, chasing a target of 174, faced early setbacks in their batting innings, with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad departing early after a subdued innings. However, Rachin Ravindra's explosive 37 off just 15 deliveries injected momentum into CSK's innings before his dismissal halted the charge. Although the loss of key wickets, including that of Ajinkya Rahane and Daryll Mitchell, momentarily pegged back CSK at 110/4, the team remained on course for victory.
