The Chennai Super Kings, who won the IPL trophy last time out, have lost all four matches in a row in the current IPL series and finished last in the points table.
Following this, CSK started their winning streak in the match against Bangalore yesterday.
Chennai Super Kings faced Royal Challengers Bangalore, led by Faf Du Plessis.
Batting first, Chennai were 216 for 4 at the end of 20 overs. Uthappa and Shivam Dube put on 156 runs in the last 10 overs for CSK. Uthappa scored 88 and Shivam Dubey 95.
First win for Chennai
The Bangalore team, which continued to play, initially lost some important wickets in succession. In the middle, Dinesh Karthik, Shahbaz added runs, but the team managed only 193 runs in 20 overs. Thus, Chennai team won by 23 runs and got two points.
Stumbling Ruturaj
Meanwhile, one thing that Virat Kohli did after the match has made cricket fans fall in love with him more. Ruturaj, a young starter for the Chennai team, topped the list of highest run scorers with 635 runs last IPL season. This time, however, he has scored 0, 1, 1, 16 and 17 runs in five matches, respectively.
Thus, Ruturaj's batting has come under heavy criticism. While another opener Uthappa continues to play well, Ruturaj's failure to give a good start is affecting the Chennai team's opening partnership. Thus, Ruturaj's role is seen as crucial for Chennai to win and advance to the play-off round.
Kohli
In the coming matches, the crisis has arisen that he should play better. In this situation, despite their defeat, Kohli met Ruturaj, who continues to stumble in batting. Fans have been pointing out that Kohli was interacting with and motivating Gaikwad.
Beyond being in a different team in the IPL series, the incident where Kohli met the player of the future Indian team and talked to him is now going highly viral.
