Chennai Super Kings fell on one of the most embarrassing defeats in their franchise history on Friday, March 28. Playing in The Fortress Chepauk, CSK lost by a massive span of 50 runs Against the new appearance of Royal Challengers Bangalore, under the captain of Rajat Patidar.
It was such an embarrassing defeat that the former apolog CSK, a former cricket Angbati Rayudu ,,, Slammed CSK’s Batting Unitapply for complete overhaul in staff. Rayudu said that CSK just had no high -quality medium dough and needed to reconsider his approach if he was to ensure a good run in this tournament.
But what happened? Isn’t it the same CSK team that defeated Indy Mumbai in their first tournament match? Isn’t it the same CSK team that looked very strong under Ruturaj Gaikwad?

Before we go further, it is necessary to say that the domination of CSK at home is based on how much the ball is spinning on the surface of Chepauk. She turned loudly against Chennai and also played several tricks against RCB. But what was the difference?
Guts, he felt Angbati Rayudu. RCB has shown that courage is aggressively playing against the CSK on a complicated playground in Chennai, and this intention took five -time champions surprising because they knew they couldn’t come out and attack the pitching on Friday’s surface.
“The intention they showed in these shifts … You know, on this surface, coming with such an intention … they knew it wasn’t easy to bat. They knew they could get out, but any individual who came out with an attack on the intention.
Kane Williamson supported Rayudu’s point and talked deeper about the branding unit and said RCB played as a team. In previous seasons, RCB was a lot banned for the bravery of Virt Kohli to assess the winning overall part on the pitch. Virat burned at his pace while the players around him tried to hit their shots whenever they could.
Friday wasn’t like that. While the virat Kohli tried to go, Phil Salt was at Ball One. RCB was very lucky when the edges were flying to the borders and three catches were dropped in the field, but useful posts from Devdutt Padikkal (27 out of 14) and Tim David (22* OFF 8) made sure that the RCB was never lagging over during the exchange.
“I think their intention with the bat was excellent. They really play as a team, so I think the loan is going on the party’s leadership. We saw posts in the first shifts; they were not there 80-90.
Williamson gave credit where it was due. Not to the captain, not happiness, but for party management. Andy Flower, who has a proven history of team receiving to its peak (England 2009-2013, Multan Sultans 2021-2023 and LSG 2022-2023), was able to bring a new sense of security.
Take someone like Devdutt Padikkal, who is known for his anchoring abilities, but has been asked to hit Ball One because he is not needed deep in the shifts. Similarly, the Australian finisher Tim David was asked to do his best in the last few games.
The whole argument is that one player does not have to play in a match of 50-60 balls, unless it is needed. And this helped RCB to properly use their high ranking tabs in the first two matches of this season.
The credit must also be donated to Rajat Patidar, who could get under the skin of the opposition parties. Two slides, short leg, short cover – these are locations in an area that are not generally associated with this format. But Patidar did it and he was successful in the fact that the teams under pressure.
To his happiness, the RCB bowling unit fired in the first two matches in the tournament. Although this may change in the coming weeks, one thing is certain: RCB will continue to play a bold cricket template – a promise that has not been fulfilled in the Indian Premier League for a long time.
