Matches played
Tim David and Rajat Patidar’s spectacular performances helped Royal Challengers Bangalore set an IPL record of 250-3 against CSK at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday evening.
While early conditions were slightly tacky, with Devdutt Padikkal and Phil Salt having difficulty making their shots fly over the outfield, ultimately, these pair rose to set another benchmark performance that saw their side set an innings total of 250-3 for victory against CSK.
At an encounter that promised high scoring drama, CSK fell short by 43 runs against an enthusiastic home crowd in Bengaluru. While usually outnumbered by CSK fans in Bengaluru, RCB supporters have been less vocal this time around.
Even without MS Dhoni, Royal Challengers Bangalore have made an impressive start this season. Now they face another young side in Chennai looking to end their losing streak with a victory.
Matches won
Royal Challengers Bangalore tore apart Chennai Super Kings at home at Chinnaswamy Stadium with ease, compiling 250 for 3 in 34 balls for their third highest IPL total ever and then dominating CSK with powerful late batting from Tim David and Rajat Patidar who shared an unbroken stand of 99 off 36 deliveries, featuring 14 sixes between them.
Normally when RCB play at home against CSK, their crowd fills with yellow. But that wasn’t the case tonight – perhaps due to Dhoni being missing or CSK losing two consecutive matches; either way there wasn’t much yellow love in the stadium this evening. CSK did manage to add England allrounder Jamie Overton but still couldn’t accommodate Kartik Sharma or West Indian allrounder Dewald Brevis into their first XI.
Matches lost
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is an Indian Premier League cricket team based out of Bangalore, Karnataka. Established by United Spirits in 2008 and owned since by Aditya Birla Group and Sahu Jain family (through Times of India Group). Since 2024 they have used a new jersey featuring an expanded lion with crown from their previous logo design.
RCB entered IPL 2026 as reigning champions and have made an impressive start, both batting and bowling units contributing equally, resulting in an excellent net run rate for their team. On the other hand, CSK have experienced difficulty over recent matches and will need an impressive turnaround if they wish to make the playoffs.
