Ahead of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB’s) last match as the IPL 2024 playoffs begin, Jio Cinema interacted with star batter Virat Kohli, who currently holds the orange cap. During the interaction, Kohli mentioned about how MS Dhoni always took the game to the 20th over in (T20Is) or the 50th over (in ODIs).

“No matter what people say about Mahi Bhai, only he knows what he has planned for the team. He takes the games to the final overs, but I always had a different mindset. I often said let’s end this in 19th over or 49th over, but if he is with us, he will take it to the final over and create a wave of nervousness in the opposition,” Kohli said.

Asked to bat first, RCB posted a challenging 218 runs for the loss of five wickets against CSK in what was a must-win game for both teams. Skipper Faf du Plessis (54) and Virat Kohli (47) shared a 78-run opening stand in 9.4 overs after the match was interrupted by showers for some time at the end of the third over. Coming onto bat at No. 3, Rajat Patidar made 41 off 23 balls and stitched 71 runs with Cameron Green (38 not out off 17) for the second wicket to keep the tempo up.

Towards the end, Dinesh Karthik (14 off 6) and Glenn Maxwell (16 off 5) played short little cameos to lift RCB. CSK needed 201 runs to qualify for the playoffs because of a better run rate even if they lose, but could only manage 191 for 7.

Rachin Ravindra scored 61 off 37 balls, while Ravindra Jadeja and Ajinkya Rahane made 42 not out and 33 respectively. Towards the end, the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who could have probably played his last IPL match, scored a 13-ball 25-run cameo. But it was not enough. Yash Dayal kept his cool in the last over and returned with figures of 2/42 for RCB.

RCB got off to a cracking start, with skipper Faf du Plessis leading the charge by notching 35 off 23 deliveries with the help of eight boundaries.

Chahar and Tushar Deshpande were messing their lengths, and new skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad brought about a fresh change by introducing Mustafizur Rahman into the attack.

Rahman unleashed a change of pace to force du Plessis into a mishit. The South African’s shot landed in the hands of New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, who ran and dived to take an acrobatic catch.
Soon afterwards, Rahman pulled the length back, angling the ball away from Patidar and inducing an edge off his bat for the ball to stick into the gloves of MS Dhoni behind the stumps.
