RCB vs CSK Highlights: RCB beat CSK, reach playoffs; MS Dhoni’s IPL 2024 journey ends
RCB vs CSK Highlights, IPL 2024: Royal Challengers Bangalore made it to the IPL 2024 playoffs following their victory over Chennai Super Kings in the do-or-die encounter played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The RCB scored 218 for 5 after being invited to bat first but needed to restrict CSK to 201 runs to make it to the playoffs. It was a hard fight by the Faf du Plessis-led side for the win.
In that case, with a victory to RCB, it became a cruise towards the playoffs along with KKR, RR, and SRH as CSK had to bow out of the tournament, thereby ending MS Dhoni’s campaign this season. There were ample moments to get excited about in this match, as both the teams clearly went hard at each other.
Faf du Plessis led with 54 runs off 39 balls, with 6 fours and 2 sixes in the match. He thus gave a good start to the team. Equally contributing to that with him was the opening batsman Virat Kohli, who scored 47 runs off 29 balls, including 5 fours and 1 six. This partnership of the two presented a strong platform to RCB.
The contribution at the middle order came from Rajat Patidar, who scored 41 runs in 23 balls with 4 fours and 2 sixes. Until the end of the innings, Cameron Green scored an unbeaten 38 runs in 17 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes. With all these contributions by batsmen, RCB scored 218.
It was then CSK’s turn, who played their best game to win the match. They could only score 191 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs. None of the key batsmen for CSK played a long inning, while the RCB bowlers kept taking wickets at regular intervals.
For CSK, Devon Conway scored the best 50 runs, but at the other end, he found little support. Moeen Ali also scored 36 runs, but that was not enough for victory. From RCB, Harshal Patel and Mohammed Siraj were impressive and took 2 and 3 wickets, respectively.
The victory sealed the deal for RCB as it confirmed their spot in the playoffs and abruptly ended the journey for CSK for this season. This match was literally seizure-prone to the audience, with both teams playing prolifically. (Scorecard | IPL 2024 Points Table)
