IPL 2025: Patidar's Fifty Helps RCB To 196/7 Against CSK
Skipper Rajat Patidar: Skipper Rajat Patidar struck his first half-century as captain as Royal Challengers Bengaluru rode on his efforts to reach 196/7 in 20 overs in a topsy-turvy innings in Match 8 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Friday.
Patidar capitalized on a couple of dropped chances by the CSK fielders to his some brilliant shots to reach his half-century off 30 balls. He was out soon after and just when it looked like RCB would fall well short of the 200-run mark, Tim David hammered a hat-trick of sixes in the final over to pull them close to what looks like a par-score.
Most of the RCB batters got starts -- Phil Salt contributed 32 off 16 balls, Virat Kohli scored 31 off 31, Devdutt Padikkal struck 27 off 14 and Tim David remained unbeaten on 22 off eight balls in a fine cameo as RCB and CSK fought back each time the other was trying to take control of the proceedings.
