MI vs RCB: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar pile up a run mountain, Krunal Pandya wins battle of brothers

Hardik Pandya threatened a grand heist with a sensational 15-ball 42 but RCB prevailed in a thriller, winning by 12 runs. Virat Kohli sizzled with a classy fifty, Rajat Patidar sparkled with a spunky half ton as RCB piled 221 and managed to get past Hardik and Tilak Varma to register a special win.RCB had lost their last six games at the Wankhede stadium but they breached the fortress with a scintillating batting display and by holding their nerves in the chase. Kohli turned on the run tap with an innings of quality, repeatedly taking on the bowlers before Patidar gave them a dream finish. The leggie Suyash Sharma held Mumbai back in the middle overs but Hardik and Tilak nearly seized the night until Josh Hazlewood and Krunal Pandya intervened to stop them at 209/9. Finally, a proper rolle...

IPL 2025: RCB end 17-year wait to win in Chennai, thrash CSK by 50 runs

IPL 2025, CSK vs RCB SYNOPSIS: Having returned empty-handed from Chepauk since 2008, Royal Challengers Bengaluru put up a clinical show to decimate Chennai Super Kings. One year ago, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, they dumped CSK out of the play-offs while reigniting a lopsided rivalry. On Friday, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, they tasted success against their Southern rivals for the first time since 2008. While the head-to-head read 22-11 in favour of CSK before this game, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium it was 8-1 in favour of the five-time champions. On Friday, RCB would finally put an end to that winless streak, and they did it in some style too. To silence Chepauk is one thing, but to walk out of the stadium with chants of “RCB, RCB” hanging in the air shows the dominant performance they p...

Virat Kohli has a huge hand in my career…he even retained me: Mohammed Siraj

Mohammad Siraj has been a loyal servant of Royal Challengers Bengaluru since 2018. Though he did have some good years for the franchise he also had some forgettable years with the ball. However, when the Bengaluru-based franchise decided not to retain him for the 2025 season it did come as a bit of surprise. Though Siraj would acknowledge that it was an emotional moment to leave RCB he would also reveal that it was Kohli who retained him and played a huge part in his career. “To be honest, Virat Kohli has a huge hand in my career. He backed me in my bad times – 2018 and 2019 – he supported me, he even retained me, and after that, my performance and graph went up. He has been very supportive. It has been very emotional for me to leave RCB. Let’s see what happens when I come against RCB. The...

You don’t have to captain like Virat Kohli: Aakash Chopra’s suggestion to Rajat Patidar

Going into the Indian Premier League 2025 all eyes will be on new Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar. Though the middle-order bat has done well in the last few seasons for the side, how he will lead as captain will be a thing to watch out for especially with someone like Virat Kohli in the side who has led both India and RCB in the past for a long time. “The biggest opportunity is for Rajat Patidar. What will you expect from him? He did well for MP (Madhya Pradesh), took the team to the final in SMAT (Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy), and the team looked towards you and said they are planning for the next four to five years. However, do they actually invest that much? That question always remains,” Aakash Chopra said speaking on his YouTube channel. Though RCB managed to reach the f...
