CSK Dominant Batting Display

Body: The top-order batsmen of the CSK team stacked themselves up with runs to an extent that only built up a superb foundation for the innings. Making his bow, Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad gave ultimate smashing starts that kept the scoreboard ticking, not letting any bowler from RCB take a chill. Then comes the CSK captain, MS Dhoni, who steps up and plays a cameo, bringing all his vintage skills of finishing the innings back on the table.

Spirited Bowling Effort from RCB

Considering that CSK were all in readiness to go hard at them with the bat, the bowlers at least did enough to make their way back into the contest by picking wickets at regular intervals to cut out the run flow. Driving the attack for RCB will be a mix of both their spin and pace to keep in check the batsmen of rivals CSK, spearheaded by Yuzvendra Chahal and Kyle Jamieson along with the run rate.

AB de Villiers’ Heroic Knock:

A jittery start had to be negotiated by the Royal Challengers Bangalore, as they lost a couple of crucial wickets in the earlier overs. But then, it was altogether senior South African cricketer AB de Villiers, who proved everybody present watching with his amazing art of stroke play. AB de Villiers has shown his class with the bat, hitting four and six at will to keep Bangalore within touching distance.

CSK Bowlers Show Clinical Bowling Performance: 

The bowlers of CSK came back in their good books to put a clinical and effective bowling performance during the match as they bowled to the plan and proved a stopper for RCB’s batting lineup. Swing bowler Deepak Chahar led from the front and kept taking regular wickets. Other main spells were Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali adding to the big spells of spin.

A Never-Say-Die Finish:

 As it approached the business end, the game was on the knife’s edge with both units sweating to edge out the other to clasp momentum. But what stood out regarding application and character were the mixed performances of the unpredictable and gritty lower-order RCB batsmen, who quickly revived it towards the fag end. But, these CSL money bags, charged up at desperate ends, struck exactly at such key moments that can break open towards the fag end.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK)Batting:

Faf du Plessis: The South African opener batted through the innings, scoring 62 not out off 45 balls, laced with five fours and two sixes. He carried on with his measured aggression and got the CSK innings further strengthened.

Both of them, alongside Du Plessis, will kick off well after scoring a fine 48 off 36 in the last outing, playing with seven boundaries. He will give the team a brilliant start.

Suresh Raina: The experienced campaigner batted classically but at a quick pace, scoring 34 runs from just 19 deliveries, smashing 3 fours and 2 sixes. Intent from Raina put pressure on the bowler of RCB.

Dhoni: The CSK captain played a crucial cameo in the last few overs that he batted, scoring 25 off 15 deliveries, with the help of two boundaries and one biggie. Dhoni contributed at the death and helped his side to some crucial runs.

T20 specialist Ambati Rayudu played a useful cameo with 18 runs at a strike rate of 150, smashing a 4 and a 6.

Bowling:

Deepak Chahar: The right-arm medium pacer returned with three important wickets for 25 runs in his quota of four overs. Chahar drew the blood early to push RCB on the back foot straight away.

Lungi Ngidi: Ngidi did a good job for the Chennai Super Kings with wickets during the middle overs. He ended the day with figures of 2 for 34 in 4 overs. His raw pace seemed to bother the RCB batters in dealing with the bounce that Ngidi is capable of achieving.

Ravindra Jadeja: The high-on-confidence star all-rounder turned out to be effective with the ball, picking up a scalp for only 28 runs in his 4 overs. The tight bowling further increased the pressure on the RCB batting unit.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)Batting:

Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli could manage only 42 runs off 32 balls before getting out. He played a perfect second fiddle but could not convert his start into a really big score.

Devdutt Padikkal was among the form batters continuing with his very calm innings, scoring 35 runs off 29 balls, before an unfortunate run-out. He played very calm innings and set the foundation of the chase for RCB.

AB de Villiers: The talismanic batsman batted around 18 balls for his score of 28 – with 3 boundaries – but couldn’t change gears at the right time and perished.

Glenn Maxwell: Maxwell joined the party too with some of his splendid cricketing shots, adding 22 off 14 balls with 2 fours and a six. His being aggressive helped to gain momentum for RCB.

Dinesh Karthik: Karthik at the end started to look extremely handy as he struck 15 runs off 11 balls, but again, just not enough to take RCB over the line.

Bowling:

Yuzvendra Chahal: The brilliant leggie was the standout bowler for RCB, having plucked two crucial wickets while giving away just 28 in four. The tight spell from Chahal upset the rhythm of the batting of CSK.

Kyle Jamieson: Went on to dismiss a key CSK Batsman and returned with 1 scalp to his name, giving away 32 runs in his quota of 4 overs.

Harshal Patel: The right-arm medium pacer chipped in with a wicket, conceding 33 runs in his 4 overs.
