Tim David, skipper Rajat Patidar, and Devdutt Padikkal unleashed a storming display of batting to propel Royal Challengers Bangalore to a massive 250/3 against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL clash on Sunday. Padikkal (50 off 29 balls) and David (70 off 25 balls) attacked the CSK bowlers relentlessly, while Patidar contributed an unbeaten 48 off 19 balls to complete the carnage.
Padikkal’s innings featured two crucial partnerships—56 runs with Phil Salt (46) for the second wicket and 58 with Patidar for the third—that stabilized RCB after the early dismissal of Virat Kohli (28), who had been dropped on seven by Shivam Dube. Salt dominated the second-wicket stand, hitting two sixes in the Powerplay to help RCB reach 51/1.
After Salt’s dismissal, Padikkal accelerated, hitting successive sixes and a four off Dube, and completed his IPL-fifty with a single off Matt Henry. He eventually fell attempting a reverse scoop off Jamie Overton. By the 15th over, RCB were 153/3, setting the stage for a brutal finish.
In the final five overs, Patidar and David added an unbeaten 99-run partnership, punishing wayward bowling. Patidar dominated Khaleel Ahmed with two sixes and a four, while David smashed three sixes off Noor Ahmad and four more off Overton in the 19th over, showcasing RCB’s destructive firepower and exposing CSK’s bowling vulnerabilities.
