Bengaluru witnessed a historic “six-fest” as RCB redefined T20 power-hitting. After a cautious start on a tacky surface, the defending champions exploded, nearly tripling their score in the final ten overs to post a mammoth 250. Tim David’s 30-run over and Rajat Patidar’s timing turned the game into a highlight reel.
While Bhuvneshwar Kumar celebrated his historic 200th IPL wicket, CSK’s bowling looked shell-shocked. Despite Sarfaraz Khan’s spirited fifty, the target was simply a mountain too high. RCB didn’t just win; they sent a terrifying message to the league: their fortress is impenetrable and their batting is nuclear.
