Royal Challengers Bangalore recorded a rare victory against Chennai Super Kings on Friday 28th of March in Premier League, India. RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, for the first time in 17 years for the first time broke the fortress Chepauuk.
RCB, who played on a wet evening in Chennai, first published a commanding sum of 196/7 and then clinically defended it by limiting CSK to 146/8 at 20 breaks. RCB was dominated by CSK with the ball throughout the persecution, starting with the collapse of the highest order inside the PowerPlay and then never allowing CSK to relax during their shifts.

Josh Hazlewood was a standout pitch and picked up 3 goals for 21 runs in his 4 overs. He was well supported by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who made his debut RCB with the characters 1/20, Yash Dayal in medium breaks (2/18) and Liam Livingstone (2/28).
Bizarre call CSK
After his wrong start, CSK really didn’t get any momentum. Rahul Tripathi, Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Deepak Hooda fell into the first five matches and set the tone for the rest of the shifts.
Chennai took several bizarre calls on Friday during the persecution. First they sent Currana herself before the spin -s specialist Shivam Dube, who returned to India on the basis of only one skill – the ability to hit rotation.
Curran Koktal against the slower balls during his stay 13 balls and eventually ended his shifts at only 8 runs. The deliveries of the soaked Gaikwad, Tripathim, Hood and Currem – a total of 29 in the first 9 breaks pushed CSK far beyond the desired running speed, which eventually happened for the party too much.
When the team lost the goal in a group between 9 and 12. Via, it was mysterious to see that the CSK Talisman MS Dhoni did not come out of the excavation. Even Ravichandran Ashwin came out on the bat in front of Mrs. Dhoni, but as expected, he couldn’t pull the host out of trouble.
Finally, when Dhoni came out on the bat on No. 9, the equation was far from his hand. Dhoni eventually relaxed in the finals through shifts and hit Krunal Pandya at 16 runs in 6 balls. He remained undefeated on 30* of 16 balls, in shifts that had no effect on the game.

RCB BLOW Hot and Cold but Post 196
The RCB patting was inconsistent during shifts. The opening pair Phil Salt and Virat Kohli, who were torn by the Knight Knight riders in the first tournament match, could not keep the same pace at Ma Chidambarama.
Salt was lucky soon and bordered a few balls from Khaleel Ahmed that reached the border. He took this momentum to the rest of his shifts and recorded a fast 32 out of 16 balls than Mrs. Dhoni.
While Salt’s Cameo maintained RCB running speed during powerplay, at the other end things did not give so smoothly. Virt Kohli, who recently made significant improvements against spin, tried to timing his timing and had problems against rotation and pace.
Kohli was seen as he scolded during his 30-mile stay so that the ball would not be properly. In the second half of his shifts, Kohli was hit by a sharp ejector from Pacer Matheesha Pathiran. The former captain took his time for re -miseration and then replied by hitting a fast pitch to four and six, which showed that while his timing was not what was once, his combat spirit remained strong.
But Kohli could not do much afterwards and was caught in a deep attempt to take over Noor Ahmad in 13th place.
While Kohli fought, the RCB managed to maintain the level of running, thanks to Devdutt Padikkal and Captain Rajat Patidar. Padikkal, due to the new lease of life by Andy Flower in Franchise, hit the rapid offire 27 of only 14 balls before Ravicandran Ashwin hit.
After knocking knocked, Patidar took the lead and won a single half -century game (51 out of 32). At the CSK medium breaks, he missed his missed chances and dropped the Captain RCB from 3 opportunities to reject Captain RCB.
After Patidar’s release, the Australian finisher Tim David performed and broke the undefeated 22 of only 8 balls and pushed a total of RCB on 196/7 – about 10 runs over a par on the sticky goal.
