Ravindra Jadeja’s final-over rampage powered CSK to a colossal target of 191 in Mumbai. The all-rounder collected a record-matching 37 runs of Harshal Patel’s final over to shift the momentum in his side’s favor.
Speaking at the mid-innings break, Yuzvendra Chahal admitted that 170 was the par total on the pitch. He lauded Jadeja for his impact but expressed confidence that RCB has the batting to shoot the total down.
Ravindra Jadeja top-scored with a 28-ball 62. He received ample support from Faf du Plessis (50 off 41), Ruturaj Gaikwad (33 off 25) and Suresh Raina (24 off 18).
Yuzvendra Chahal opens on his bowling effort
Yuzvendra Chahal took his third wicket of the season on Sunday by luring Ruturaj Gaikwad to miss-hit a slog-sweep to deep backward square leg. His figures at the end of the innings read 1-24 from three overs.
Opening up on the effort, Yuzvendra Chahal said he bowled ‘good’ but could have done better in ceasing a couple of sixes from the CSK batsmen.
In response to CSK’s total, RCB scored 65 runs in the powerplay but at the cost of both the openers - Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal.
