The seventeenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is underway. Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore took to the field on the first day. In the fight between the two giants, winning the toss and winning the toss, Bengaluru collected 173 runs after losing 6 wickets in 20 overs, relying on the stormy batting of Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik.
Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis came to open for Bangalore. Both of them started playing uphill from the beginning. Bangalore was on the way to collect the storm. However, Mustafizur Rahman brought the team a break through by returning Plessy (35) in the 1st ball of his first over when he came to the bowling in the fifth over.
The Bangladesh pacer took another wicket in his first over. This time Rajat Patidar (0) stepped into his trap and was captured by Dhoni. Mostafiz pulled the wheels of Bangalore’s run by taking 2 wickets in the first over. After that they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
Mostafiz got the ball for the second time in the 12th over of the innings. In his second over, he sent Kohli to the dressing room. Kohli (21) took a catch at deep mid-wicket while pulling the left-arm pacer’s slower delivery. After one ball, Mustafiz also made Cameron Green his victim.
Karthik and Anuj Rawat led the team towards the end. The two counter-attacked and started scoring runs at a stormy pace. And that’s how Bangalore got the capital to fight. Anuj was dismissed after playing an innings of 48 runs off 25 balls, but Karthik left the field with 38 runs off 26 balls.
Mostafiz is the successful bowler for Chennai. The cutter master took 4 wickets with 30 runs in 4 overs. The wicket tally could have been higher had it not been for the two missed catches. Deepak Chahar also took one wicket.
