Rajat Patidar''s fifty, Tim David''s cameo lift RCB to 196/7 against CSK
CHENNAI: (Mar 28) Skipper Rajat Patidar rode on his luck to make a vital 51 and along with Tim David (8-ball 22) lifted Royal Challengers Bengaluru to 196 for seven against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL match here on Friday.
Patidar was dropped thrice by CSK fielders but he made most of the reprieves to score 51 off 32 balls (4x4s, 3x6s), providing his side a much-needed impetus in the middle-overs, while David's late burst made up for a mid-phase slump.
Early fireworks form Phil Salt (32 off 16 balls, 5x4s, 1x6s) and Devdutt Padikkal (27 off 14 balls, 2x4s, 2x6s) had masked Virat Kohli’s (31, 30 balls) struggle but their dismissals left RCB in doldrums.
