Chennai Super Kings (CSK) staged a strong comeback after Nitish Rana's explosive knock in Guwahati, limiting Rajasthan Royals (RR) to 182/9 in the 11th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
Nearly every RCB batter got a fine start, but except for Patidar, none of them could make it into something big. Noor Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers for CSK once again with three scalps, who also got the wicket of Virat Kohli.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and elected to the field against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium in the eighth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Friday.
"Yeah, really, I'm excited about that, and that was my dream when I debuted for CSK. So yeah, I achieved it, so I'm really happy about that," said Pathirana to ANI, reflecting on his retention by the franchise.
