Faf du Plessis and MS Dhoni (C) (W) helped CSK to break their three-match losing streak as they got a blazing win over Royal Challengers Bangalore by 8 wickets with 2.2 overs to spare. Earlier in the match RCB batted first against Chennai Super Kings and they made four changes in their team combination. Chris Gayle was replaced by Rilee Rossouw as he is really struggling in this edition of the IPL 7. The other addition were Ravi Rampaul, Shadab Jakati and Vijay Zol but still they failed to produce any match winning performance. Anyway, Rilee Rossouw who came in place of Chris Gayle didn’t do much in the game as he went very early by just scoring 1 runs in 4 balls.
RCB also lost another two wickets of Yogesh Takawale (W) and Vijay Zol early in the first innings, however Virat Kohli (C) played a exceptional innings to put up at least a fighting total of 154 runs Yuvraj Singh supported him well with a 25 runs of innings.
Ashish Nehra came back with a bang as he claime 3 wickets in the match for CSK and Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja shared 3 wickets equally.
While chasing not-so-big total of 155 runs CSK lost two wickets quite early of Dwayne Smith and Suresh Raina, never the less Dwayne Smith played another assaulting innings of 34 and he took only 17 runs to made it. After that Faf du Plessis and MS Dhoni (C) (W) really upped the ante for CSK as they both played and unbeaten innings to get back their confidence after three consistence loss in the tournament. Faf scored 54 runs in 43 balls and Dhoni supported him really well with all the possibilities he had after he got injured. Anyway the CSK skipper played a 28-balls 49 runs knock.
Well, the only two wickets were shared by Ravi Rampaul and Yuvraj Singh. MS DHONI got the Man of the Match award for his blazing innings.
