1. Virat Kohli & Faf du Plessis
Faf du Plessis led from the front as Royal Challengers Bangalore amassed 218 runs for five wickets in 20 overs at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Rajat Patidar (41/off 23 balls) and Cameron Green (38) also made notable contributions, while Dinesh Karthik and Glenn Maxwell made short cameo appearances as they helped set an excellent total on home ground.
CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and elected to bowl first; however, rain began falling at the beginning of the third over and soon enough all covers were lifted and pitch was left exposed.
RCB took their time settling in as batsmen but once they did so, their run rate quickly picked up. Kohli and du Plessis put on an opening wicket stand of 78 runs before being bowled by Santner; Karthik and Rawat then quickly advanced as their side raced to 132-3 within 13 overs.
RCB recorded their highest total this season and ever scored in one game; 26 fours and five sixes from Du Plessis and Kohli were instrumental in pushing them past 200 runs.
Both teams are in a must-win matchup as only the victor will advance to playoffs. In order for RCB to advance to playoffs and eliminate CSK from contention, they need to win by 18 runs or more.
RCB batsmen have started off strongly and are providing a solid fight at M Chinnaswamy stadium. Du Plessis and Kohli’s big hits give RCB hope in this crucial match, giving their home team a fighting chance. But to prevail they will need to maintain their momentum; otherwise their loss would see them drop into fifth position instead. It’s all to play for at this M Chinnaswamy Stadium!
2. MS Dhoni & Ambati Rayudu
MS Dhoni has become known for rescuing his team in even the toughest of situations and tonight he did just that in style. Scoring an astonishing 84 runs off 48 balls, MS Dhoni led CSK to an astounding total. First reviving their innings with an outstanding 55-run partnership between Ambati Rayudu and himself before going on to dominate Bangalore bowlers and score another half century of runs from just 48 balls!
RCB were four down after four overs of Powerplay play and had lost captain Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina by its end; but Dhoni and Rayudu made quick work of turning things around with impressive efforts in subsequent overs.
Rayudu kept up the run chase by smashing four sixes in 16 balls off Pawan Negi to take his strike rate up to an incredible 92 strike rate in just 16 balls – before hitting two more sixes against Washington Sundar to move past 200 runs and bring closer victory for their side.
Sundar rushed in to catch Dhoni’s long-off delivery from Dhoni but accidentally hit into Shardul Thakur at point instead, ending Rayudu’s brilliant innings which included eight fours and three sixes from 53 balls with 8 fours hit off Dhoni and 7 sixes scored by Dhoni himself. Unfortunately for Rayudu though, his opportunity had passed him by with three balls remaining when an unfortunate miscue saw Sundar try catching Dhoni but end up hitting it straight into Shardul Thakur at point instead of him making contact. That meant an innings that saw Rayudu score 82 runs from 53 balls which saw 8 fours from Dhoni but end up hitting straight into Shardul Thakur at point – ending Rayudu’s innings which saw him score 82 runs with three sixes – was gone forever despite Rayudu’s brilliant innings that saw him score 82 runs from 53 balls with eight fours from Dhoni but ultimately hit straight into Shardul Thakur at point instead – ending Rayudu’s innings which saw Rayudu score 82 from 53 balls while making 53 runs out with eight fours and three sixes scored from 53 balls with eight fours and three sixes hitting into him with two out and three sixes being scored from 53 balls of 53 balls with eight fours and three sixes outs before making 54 balls 81 with eight four fours and three sixes and three sixes being scored from 53 balls with eight four fours and three sixes, Shardul Thakur at point with it as Rayudu score an amazing innings that saw him score 82 from 53 balls off just 55 balls remaining to go off before ending it all out 96 ball 56 ball outs not out before finally out out having scored an amazing 53 ball he out 74 from 53 balls played, including fours hitting out overs being out by Shard out! Rayudu going not out, making 53 out as many sixes scoring an amazing 53 out.
Dhoni had started off his night well, hitting four fours off the first two balls before connecting with Corey Anderson for six in 18th over to extend their lead before being dismissed off an outstanding direct hit from Umesh Yadav in final over.
Dhoni had won the toss and elected to bat. Afterward, he expressed satisfaction with how his team had played with the ball in the first half of the match, noting his delight that they made such a positive start after having struggled at the beginning of last year. Furthermore, Dhoni lauded their bowlers’ performance, noting their efforts had helped limit Bangalore to only 160/7 runs.
3. Yuzvendra Chahal & Umesh Yadav
RCB are struggling to get their batsmen going against Chennai spinners who are making light work of them. Yuzvendra Chahal has created havoc in the death overs, leaving their batsmen without an answer for Yuzvendra Chahal or Moeen Ali; both make short work of AB de Villiers in the middle. With Shane Watson being their sole notable performer so far.
Ravindra Jadeja appears to have caught Parthiv Patel but the umpire rules otherwise. Dhoni opts against reviewing as the ball seems likely to head over the wicket; instead he attempts to coax Jadeja out but eventually the umpire had enough and had him sent packing from play.
Ambati Rayudu scores off the bowling of Navdeep Saini to bring up 100 runs for CSK in just 71 balls and bring victory closer. Their batting is in fine form as well – they look well poised to capture this encounter!
The reigning champs have made an excellent start to their title defense and this win at home should give them plenty of confidence going into the rest of the season. Most of their key players from last year’s successful trophy winning campaign remain onboard and should deliver another solid performance in front of their home fans at Chepauk.
Dhoni has chosen the same team that won in their previous game and this time around Faf du Plessis will bat at number three and Ambati Rayudu will bat four. While both openers have done very little this innings they should still contribute significantly towards CSK gaining victory tonight. RCB have enjoyed dominance against them since 2003 at this venue with 11 consecutive victories coming here against CSK; who won tonight’s toss and will bat first.
4. Shardul Thakur & Kuldeep Yadav
Royal Challengers Bangalore have an opportunity to avenge a disappointing defeat against Chennai Super Kings this match, against whom they have shown inconsistency with some promising performances juxtaposed against an array of poor results. Still, Royal Challengers could earn themselves one of four spots and reach the playoffs.
Virat Kohli will lead his RCB squad into battle, alongside Faf du Plessis as captain, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik(wk), Suyash Prabhudessai, Mitchell Santner, Kuldeep Yadav Anuj Rawat and Simarjeet Singh – an impressive lineup indeed!
Rohit Sharma and the Chennai Super Kings have struggled recently in this tournament, winning only once of their past five matches. However, their foundation is strong and players possess an optimistic mindset heading into this match; giving them the chance to clinch a spot in the play-offs and seize victory once again.
Shardul Thakur bowled two slower bouncers outside off, which Cameron Green nudged towards the third man boundary for a single. Later in 19.2 over, another slow bouncer outside off was used by Maxwell who hit it quickly towards the boundary for a quick double.
RCB struggled to launch their run chase early, with all three batsmen departing early. Glenn Maxwell scored 76 off 36 balls while Shivam Dube’s 52 off 27 helped the team reach an acceptable total.
The visitors had difficulty dealing with spinners during the first half of their innings and fell to two quick wickets within 10 runs, forcing them to play an expansive style in the latter stages of the match – something which proved costly.
Kuldeep Yadav bowled an off stump short length ball off stump on the front foot pulling for no runs in over 18.1 of their match against Rajasthan Capitals, and their batsmen simply failed to score big runs allowing Delhi Capitals a comfortable seven wicket victory in that over.
