CSK vs RCB Live Score: Player Of The Match!

Rajat Patidar Has Been Named As The Player Of The Match! RCB Skipper leading from the front… He scored 51 off 32 balls on a tough batting deck and powered his team to a score that was above-par at Chepauk. 

CSK vs RCB Live Score: How The Match Panned Out!

CSK vs RCB has always been the clash that has attracted lot of attention, and it happened again today. The matches have been close over the years, but this time around, it changed, with Rajat Patidar's RCB looking class apart with their clinical display.

Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and decided to bowl first, hoping that dew will help their batters in the second half. However, the decision backfired badly, as RCB batters, especially Phil Salt came out all guns blazing. He provided a quick start and though Virat Kohli struggled, rest of the RCB batters played with a good strike rate and captain Patidar led from the front with his fifty.

The pitch was not the easiest one to bat, but RCB managed to post 196 on the board and it was always going to be tough from thereon. CSK lost three in the Powerplay, and were always behind the 8-ball after that and though Rachin scored 41, they were never in the chase.

All the RCB bowlers did their job to perfection, but Josh Hazlewood was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets for just 21 runs. Overall, it was a night to remember for RCB fans, and they would now be hoping that this season brings more such victories in the coming future.
