History Always Repeats For CSK & RCB With Exact Moments
CSK batted first and set an imposing target of 227. In the first innings, CSK destroyed RCB by hitting 17 sixes which is one of the highest in innings. Before this CSK smashed 17 sixes in innings, and that too against RCB.
Yesterday RCB bowlers didn’t have time to breathe, instead getting hit by CSK once every 3 balls. Except Siraj, nobody bowled in a good line. Vijaykumar Vyshak did well in his first match but failed to carry his rhythm. It’s too early to rate his performance. But he needs to come back stronger.
Strong Style But Failed To Complete
RCB batters Virat Kohli & Faf Du Plessis started the 2nd innings aiming to chase 227 which is a record chase in IPL History.
Kohli started with the boundary and got out in an unlucky way. Then Chinnaswamy Stadium was silenced for some time until Maxwell and Duplessis started to fire. They too attacked the CSK bowlers and urged them to bowl at the wrong length. They two didn’t put a break where one stage after 11 overs RCB are at 130/2, and their CRR is higher than the RRR. It looks like RCB will finish the match before the 18th over. CSK also dropped 3 catches and missed the opportunity to get into the match. Finally, RCB’s lower and middle order collapsed as usual and ended up losing the match by 8 runs. But Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) made the four-time champions an almighty scare. Captain Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell’s sensational third wicket stand put the total well within grasp for the hosts.
