It saw many ups and downs, and the game swung like a pendulum. But in the end, RCB held their nerves when it mattered a lot and eventually ended up winning, which is probably the biggest win for them this season.
They have beaten the defending champion by 27 runs, and they have not just beaten CSK, they have also knocked them out of the competition. With this win, RCB have jumped to fourth place and booked the one remaining spot in the playoffs of the TATA IPL 2024 after winning this RCB vs CSK clash at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
RCB vs CSK: Twitter erupts after RCB beat CSK in the must-win clash by 27 runs at Chinnaswamy Stadium
Not many have a chance for RCB to qualify for the next round because they lost seven out of the first 8 matches and were sitting at the bottom of the points table. But after that, it has been a fairytale for them. They have won six games on the trot to qualify for the next round. Fans were also happy with this and could control their emotions and react on Twitter (now X).
Notably, RCB lost the toss and batted first. Despite the toss not going their way and there being a rain interruption as well, they posted a massive total of 218/5 in the first inning. Faf du Plessis scored 54 off 39, and Virat Kohli also made 47 off 29 balls. Cameron Green (38* off 17) and Rajat Patidar (41 off 23) also played well.
CSK started poorly, but Rachin Ravindra brought them back with a 37-ball 61 run. In the end, Ravindra Jadeja (42* off 22) and MS Dhoni (25 off 13) also tried hard, but they could only take CSK to 191/7. It was heartbreaking for the CSK fans because they didn’t think that they would be knocked out. Faf du Plessis won the Player of the Match award for his brilliant batting, superb captaincy, and excellent fielding.
