1. RCB vs CSK
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) share one of the fiercest rivalries in cricket.
Representing capital cities that share long histories of animosity, their fans have formed fierce fan bases both at stadiums and online; many idolize both cricketers and film stars associated with both franchises.
This match was crucial for both teams; without victory for RCB in Chennai since 2008 and against CSK this season, their playoff chances would have been extinguished and CSK would have fallen further down the table.
As a result, both sides wanted a victory here – an unlikely outcome considering both had recently struggled. RCB finally triumphed, however; being only their second victory against their archrival this season.
Starting strong, both teams scored big to start. But it all hinged in the 18th over when RCB needed 35 runs from five balls in just under six overs – Bhuvneshwar Kumar had an inauspicious start but recovered to bowl a final over conceding just six runs and Jadeja hit his winning boundary off its fourth delivery.
Early on, Royal Challengers Bengal opener AB de Villiers was dismissed for only four off eight balls, yet his teammates rallied around to reach their target with seven balls to spare. Although Josh Hazlewood wasn’t present due to injury concerns, players like Mohit Rathee and Swapnil Singh took care of everything else for RCB.
At one point it looked as though CSK were going to run out of steam but their batsmen came through with some big hits that saved the day and gave the franchise some breathing room to take steps towards replacing MS Dhoni in its roster.

RCB easily defeated CSK at their own den to record another emphatic win and inch closer toward a playoff berth.

This match was one for the ages, as both teams traded blows throughout. Royal Challengers Bangalore managed an outstanding 213/5 in their first innings thanks to pivotal contributions from Jacob Bethell and Virat Kohli as Romario Shepherd unleashed late carnage that took down CSK bowlers with ease.
Meanwhile in response young gun Ayush Mhatre’s blistering 94 not out and Ravindra Jadeja’s composed 77 from Ravindra Jadeja brought their visitors within touching distance of an unbelievable comeback victory.
Witnesses to an incredible game of cricket will always remember it fondly; ultimately RCB’s bowlers held their nerve and prevented the hosts from scoring enough runs in the last over to force a draw.
At the death, Yash Dayal emerged as the hero as he caught Dhoni off the opening ball and then held his nerve to defend the rest of the over.
Even with no-ball calls for height and an overthrow by Dhoni over his boundary line, Yash maintained his composure to defend against all momentum-driven threats to defend.
RCB’s victory has strengthened their hold on one of the four spots in the table, while CSK continues to falter. It now appears likely that CSK will miss out on qualifying for playoffs – something they have done every year since 2010. It will be interesting to see whether they manage to turn things around in the remaining games.
