CSK beat RCB by 7 wickets in IPL Opener


The IPL opener was not that much thrilled and aggressive which the fans were expecting between the RCB and CSK. In MA Chidambaram Stadium MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to field first. RCB walked in with just the two spinners whereas CSK came with three spinners plus two part-time spinners. This decision of CSK proved as the reason of their victory over the RCB. CSK spinners took eight wickets, the highest number in IPL and RCB were bowled out on the score of just 70.
CSK started brilliantly  reducing RCB to 39/4 in 8 overs. Thanks to  Harbhajan Singh who dismissed the three main batsman of the RCB Virat Kohli(6),  MM Ali(9) and AB de Villiers(9). On the other hand Imran Tahir was also making pressure on the batsman of the RCB and finished with 3 wickets of ShivamDubey(2), NA Saini(2) and Chahal(4).
Batsman of the Match
When all the batsmen were losing their wickets against the spinners of CSK, Parthiv Patel somehow controlled his temptation to go for the big shots and opted to save his wicket and picking up singles and doubles and finished with 29 off 35 balls.
Bowler of the Match
Tahir was absolutely dominating over the RCB batsman during his spell because of the sharp turn in his bowling making batsman confused with his variations. He finished his spell with figures of 4-1-9-13 with a wicket-maiden in the 14th over.
In 2nd innings Chahal managed to create pressure on the CSK batsman and dismissed Shane Watson for a duck in the 3rd over. However, Ambati Rayudu and Suresh Raina stick to the crease to steady the innings with a 32-runs partnership. Raina was dismissed on 19 while trying for a big short against Moeen Ali. Rayudu scored 28 runs of 42 balls but couldn`t take his team to the finish line as bowled by the Mohmmed Siraj. Ravindra Jadeja andKedhar Jadhav then took the responsibility and confirmed the victory of their team with the 12-runs partnership.
Highlight of the Match
With the inning of 19 runs Raina became the first batsman to cross 5000 runs in the IPL and got the title of Mr. IPL because of his consistency.

We sat down with the five times Balon D’or winner and the all-time goal scoring forward of FC Barcelona Leo Messi.
