Ravindra Jadeja’s all-round performance helped CSK beat RCB by 69 runs to get to the top of the points table. In the process, they have also ended RCB’ winning streak in four back to back games in the season so far. More about the match 19 report in detail below.
Chasing 192 to win, RCB scored 44 in the first 3.1 overs when the skipper Virat Kohli was dismissed. Sam Curran brought about his downfall. After the partnership was broken, the CSK bowlers then took wickets at regular intervals with no other batsmen making any substantial score. Glenn Maxwell (24), AB De Villiers (4), Daniel Christian (1). Devdutt Padikkal (34) had another good start to his innings but was caught down fine leg in a rather unfortunate manner to being an end to his innings. Jadeja picked 3/13 with the ball and also affected the run out of Christian. Tahir took 2/16 and ran out Kylie Jamieson to bring an end to CSK’s hopes of chasing the score down.
