Chennai Super Kings For the first time in 17 years, Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered defeat at home. The hosts struggled in both batting and bowling departments and lost the match by 50 runs, which is their biggest defeat on their home ground in history. With the ball, the team headed by Ruturaj Gaikwad conceded 196 runs in the first innings and Rachin Ravindra was seen in a good rhythm with the bat, other batsmen flopped.
After the defeat, captain Gaikwad said that Fielding disappointed him against RCB. CSK players left several catches in the first innings and perhaps in the second innings the same thing can bother them. RCB captain Rajat Patidar was given several opportunities and scored 51 runs. His innings stabilized the middle order, which was important for RCB at that time.
Rituraj Gaikwad made a big statement after defeat
Rituraj Gaikwad After the defeat, I said that I still feel that the score of 170 was right on this ground. It was not easy to bat here. We lost the match due to poor fielding. He said that if you were chasing a target of 170 runs, there would have been some more time.
But by giving 20 runs waste, one has to play differently in the powerplay which we do not play. The CSK captain said that we dripped the catches and his batsmen kept hitting fours and sixes. His run -up did not slow down till the last over. We feel that we have to work hard on fielding.
CSK batsmen seen under pressure
RCB scored a big score while batting first. After this, the RCB bowlers put pressure on the initial wickets quickly, which remained till the end. The Chennai batsmen continued to lose wickets at intervals while the hosts also disappointed in the fielding. Chennai captain Rituraj Gaikwad could not even open an account. Chennai lost three wickets in the first two overs. In the second over, Rahul Tripathi (five) caught Josh Hazlewood at an attempt to play a bridge shot at the short midwicket.
