CSK vs RCB: Fizz on Fire, DK & Anuj Forge Strong Partnership, Set 174-run Target for CSK

Ruturaj Gaikwad grabbed the attention of Chennai Super Kings captain in place of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the first match of this year’s IPL. CSK’s new skipper seemed under pressure in the first 3 overs of the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday. But it didn’t take long for him to turn around. Ruturaj took the rush of the match from the fourth over. After that, Faf du Plessis, and Virat Kohli did not get any chance. But after losing 5 wickets for 78 runs, RCB turned around thanks to the extraordinary fight of Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik. As a result, Ruturaj was under pressure again. RCB scored 173 for 6 in the scheduled 20 overs. Anuj scored 48 runs and was run out on the last ball of the innings. Karthik remained unbeaten on 38 runs.

Anuj Karthik’s amazing partnership

Du Plessis (35) and Virat (21) started the RCB innings well that day. But then Rajat Patidar (0) and Glenn Maxwell (0) got out quickly and RCB came under pressure. Cameron Green scored 18 runs. At that time, it seemed that RCB’s innings would end with just a few runs. But Anuj’s 25-ball 48 and Karthik’s unbeaten 26-ball 38 helped RCB turn around.

Amazing bowling by Mustafizur

Bangladesh seamer Mustafizur Rahman grabbed the attention of CSK. He took 4 wickets with 29 runs. Deepak Chahar took 1 wicket with 37 runs. Mustafizur took the wickets of Du Plessis, Virat, Patidar and Green. But the Bangladeshi star could not take advantage after Anuj and Karthik froze on the wicket.
