RCB have been able to revive their campaign in IPL 2024, miraculously. They looked completely out of the tournament along with MI and PBKS at the start of the tournament. While MI dropped out and never got the momentum, RCB reversed the tide and won 5 matches on the bounce. Now, they are playing CSK for an all important eliminator in the quest for remaining one IPL Playoff spot.
They need to win 18 runs against CSK and they wanted the play to happen without any rain interruption as that means CSK would qualify with 15 points. Well, CSK won the toss in this all important match and chose to field first. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad wanted to know the target and got after it, with rain probability.

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis started slow but made it up with 31 from 3 overs. But then rain has come down but vanished in quick time. So, both the teams did not lose any overs. CSK spinners could tighten up the screws and RCB did not get many runs in the powerplay. Virat Kohli continued his form and got 47 runs from 29 balls. Faf also played a brilliant hand taking on Ravindra Jadeja, who went for 40 runs, and scored 54 runs from 39 balls.
Rajat Patidar came to the middle and got 41 runs from 23 balls taking on Jadeja and seamers. Cameron Green scored 38 runs from 17 balls, Dinesh Karthik(14) and Glenn Maxwell16) finished the innings on a huge high. RCB scored a huge 218 runs setting themselves for a big win against CSK who did not have a happy hunting chasing these big targets.
