But maybe there will be a good reason to make a change this time.” ‘It’s Dhoni vs Virat’ Meanwhile, cricket experts believe that the first match of the upcoming IPL 2024 will be between the superstars of Indian cricket rather than between the CSK and RCB franchises, as both the teams have star-studded lineups.
