Royal Challengers Bangalore locked horns with Chennai Super Kings in the 24th match of the IPL. The game took place at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The wicket provided great assistance to the batters.
The batsmen of both teams thoroughly enjoyed scoring runs with ease. Batting first, the yellow army posted a colossal total of 226 for the loss of six wickets in their quota of 20 overs.
Devon Conway top-scored with 84 runs. In response, RCB put up a great fight in the run-chase. However, they lacked the final spark in the end and went on to lose the game by eight runs.
Faf du Plessis (62) and Glenn Maxwell (76) nearly made things much easier for RCB but after their departures, the team didn’t really recover and ended up losing the game.
MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli embrace each other after the game
The game was stretched to the last over but Pathirana bowled pretty well under pressure and kept the RCB batters silent, in what was a special win for Chennai Super Kings in the end.
After the game, a priceless picture featuring MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli has been doing the rounds on social media. Both stalwarts were seen embracing each other after the match.
It was nice to see both of them having a candid chat with each other. Virat Kohli played under MS Dhoni’s captaincy at Team India. After MS Dhoni stepped down as Indian captain, he played under Virat Kohli’s captaincy.
