Virat Kohli Vs MS Dhoni: May Be For One Last Time Together...

High-voltage Indian Premier League aka IPL 2024 league match stage has reached its last leg, where the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) tonight, May 18, at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Karnataka's capital, Bengaluru. Tonight's RCB vs CSK match will decide who will qualify for IPL 2024 playoffs, MS Dhoni's Yellow Army or Virat Kohli's Bengaluru brigade.

Kolkata Knight Riders (SRH), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are the other three teams who have booked their berths for the IPL Playoffs with more than 15 points in their kitty.

The match is also expected to be Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni's last match together as MSD might take retirement from franchise cricket after this season.

Recently, during a chat, Virat Kohli said, "For fans to see him (Dhoni) play in any stadium in India is a big thing. Me & him playing again, maybe for the last time, you never know - that is a special thing."

"We have had some great memories, some great partnerships for India, it's a great occasion for fans to see us together," Kohli added.

MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, both former Indian captains, have played a lot of cricket together and shared the same dressing room for around 16 years. They have been highly praising each other throughout their careers.

RCB's IPL 2024 Playoffs Qualification Scenario:

Batting First: If RCB bats first against CSK, they need to post a total of 200 runs and then win by at least 18 runs.
Chasing: If RCB is chasing a target of 201, they must achieve it with at least 11 balls to spare.

Meeting these conditions will enhance RCB's chances of securing a spot in the playoffs.
