It is also expected that the squad will reveal their 2024 season shirt.
The owners’ potential decision to honor the women’s team, which just defeated Delhi Capitals in the finals to win the Women’s Premier League 2024, is another subject of conjecture.

IPL2024: CSK vs. RCB’s opening game
On March 22, RCB will take on Chennai Super Kings in the first match of their quest for their first-ever IPL trophy. Chepauk Stadium will host the match between two of cricket’s titans, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. After winning the Women’s Premier League on just their second attempt, RCB’s women’s squad has higher expectations for this year. They made it to the IPL final in 2009, 2011, and 2016, however they were never victorious.
Despite being with RCB from the IPL’s start, Kohli—a significant player in Indian cricket—has not yet helped the team win a championship. For batting solidity in the forthcoming IPL 2023 season, RCB will once more turn to Kohli. Despite having a great season the previous year, he hasn’t played much this one. During the T20I series against Afghanistan in January, he made his final outing for India. He then pulled out of the England Tests due to personal reasons. It will be important for him to qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup team for India.
