Five reasons why IPL 2018 promises to be exciting

#3 Return of Old-rivalries

CSK has been involved in epic rivalries with MI over the years

The return of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals after serving a two year ban will pave way for the perennial rivalries to take over.

CSK has clearly been the most consistent team in the history of the IPL, and the franchise has enjoyed thrilling rivalries with teams like Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore in particular. While their rivalry with Mumbai Indians has been a nail-biting affair with MI winning 13, including IPL final of 2015 while CSK has got the better of the blue brigade on 11 occasions in 24 attempts.

Another rivalry that is set to feature in this IPL is between finalists of the inaugural IPL, Rajasthan Royals and CSK, having featured series of nail-biting encounters in the past and with revamped squads, the aforementioned rivalries will surely add magnanimity to the contest.
