IPL 2025: Hazlewood's Twin Strikes Were A Game-changer, Says Patidar After RCB Down CSK
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar hailed Josh Hazlewood's twin strikes an hour early in Chennai Super Kings innings as a "game changer" that helped his team breach Fortress Chepauk for the first time since 2008 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday.
"If I talk about this match, it was a good total on this surface because the ball was stopping a bit and it wasn't easy for batters to hit fours and sixes. It's always special playing in Chepauk because of the fans, the way they support their teams," he said.
After Patidar, who was dropped thrice, contributed a vital half-century that helped RCB reach a challenging score of 196/7 in 20 overs, Hazlewood sent back Rahul Tripathi and Ruturaj Gaikwad in his first over to give his team a fine start. CSK failed to recover from those early blows and were soon down to 75/5 as Yash Dayal and Liam Livingstone struck a couple of blows each to add to CSK's woes.
