Abhinav Mukund’s surprising statement regarding CSK
Abhinav Mukund was quoted as saying by Geo Cinema, “There has been a good rivalry between CSK and RCB in the last few years. RCB had come very close to victory in Chepauk but could not win there. Some of these moments will be engraved in the hearts of fans. Speaking further, Mukund highlighted the changing nature of the Chennai pitch and said that their home ground is no longer a fortress.
He said, “The good thing for RCB is that the pitches in Chennai have changed. Now this is no longer the stronghold of CSK. The team had to face defeat from Punjab and KKR at their home ground. However, considering the spin-friendly conditions and excellent spinners, CSK looks a good team on paper.”
Of the first 21 matches, CSK will play two matches at home and the second match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on March 26. Meanwhile, the schedule for the remaining IPL matches will be announced after the Election Commission announces the schedule for the General Elections 2024.
