 IPL-17: RCB vs CSK: In-form Royal Challengers Bengaluru batters power team to 218




Patidar and Green take over with counterattacking knocks after du Plessis and Kohli set up the table with a 78-run opening partnership; Santner and Theekshana extract turn after the rain delay

Royal Challengers Bengaluru amassed 218 against Chennai Super Kings in their last league game, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on May 18.




It thus meant CSK needed to score 201 runs or more to qualify for the playoffs while RCB had to restrict CSK for 200 or less.


Amidst the threat of rain, the match started right on time. Asked to bat first, RCB raced to 31 for no loss from three overs, with the two sixes from Kohli behind square off Tushar Deshpande the highlight.

But the skies opened immediately after, holding up play for a little over 40 minutes. However, once the players returned, the pitch seemed transformed as RCB limped to 42 for no loss after six overs.


The ball gripped and turned as Maheesh Theekshana and Mitchell Santner, bowling mostly just short of length, made run-scoring difficult. Only when the length was marginally fuller did the scoreboard tick, with Kohli (47, 29b, 3x4, 4x6) collecting two slog-swept sixes off Santner and Ravindra Jadeja.




But an unfortunate run out at the non-striker’s end when the ball deflected off Santner’s finger-tip ended du Plessis’ stay. Cameron Green (38 n.o., 17b, 3x4, 3x6), though, kept up the momentum with some cleaning hitting. CSK did itself no favours by reprieving the burly Australian on 18, with Ruturaj Gaikwad dropping a straightforward chance at long-off.

A third such attempt to hit against the turn, however, cost him, as Daryl Mitchell completed a smart catch at long-on, much to the joy of Santner.

du Plessis (54, 39b, 3x4, 3x6), who bode his time as long as Kohli was at the crease, took off in the 11th over, sending Jadeja soaring over the boundary ropes. The in-form Patidar (41, 23b, 2x4, 4x6) matched his skipper, smashing Theekshana over long-off and Simarjeet Singh over fine-leg for two mighty maximums.


But an unfortunate run out at the non-striker’s end when the ball deflected off Santner’s finger-tip ended du Plessis’ stay. Cameron Green (38 n.o., 17b, 3x4, 3x6), though, kept up the momentum with some cleaning hitting. CSK did itself no favours by reprieving the burly Australian on 18, with Ruturaj Gaikwad dropping a straightforward chance at long-off.


Green and Patidar fully capitalised, hitting Deshpande and Shardul for four sixes in the span of eight balls. But the latter was dismissed in the 18th over, as Mitchell completed another fine catch at long-on.


Dinesh Karthik, playing potentially his last match in RCB colours in Bengaluru, played a neat cameo (14, 6b, 1x4, 1x6) while Glenn Maxwell contributed too (16, 5b, 2x4, 1x6).

Hellblade 2

 Hellblade 2 When Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was released in 2017 it quickly became one of my favorite games of all time. I beat it in one sitting and remember feeling thankful that I had played it in a room dark enough to conceal how much I wept as the credits rolled. As a young woman who had endured abuse and was desperately wrangling with her own mental health and attachment issues, Senua's journey resonated and comforted me in a way no other game ever had. So it might surprise you then, that when I heard Ninja Theory was working on a sequel, I was extremely hesitant. My biggest concern--particularly after Microsoft purchased Ninja Theory--was that the next entry in the Hellblade series would aim to be one of the massive, AAA experiences that are taking over the games industry, complete with a cluttered mini-map, crafting, side quests, and more. That's not to say these features are inherently bad of course--they do have their place--but to me, this felt at odds with wh

Was this Pep Guardiola's least-impressive Man City title win? Ranking the genius coach's Premier League triumphs

  Was this Pep Guardiola's least-impressive Man City title win? Ranking the genius coach's Premier League triumphs The Catalan has made history by winning a fourth successive crown to make it six in total, but which was his best? Champions again. And again, and again. Manchester City have a vice-like grip on the Premier League title, and good luck to anyone who tries to take it away from them. The Cityzens are celebrating their 10th English league title, their eighth in the Premier League era and their sixth under Pep Guardiola. And this one is extra special, as they have become the first team in English football history to have won four consecutive crowns. Ever since winning their third title in a row last year, Guardiola had set his eyes on doing something that no team had previously achieved. And as he tends to do, the Catalan has pulled it off. Not that he will be ranking it above any of his previous five title wins in Manchester, however. Two days before beating West Ham t

Bridgerton Recap: A Lost Cause

  Bridgerton Recap: A Lost Cause Many thanks to Bridgerton (and specifically Sarah L. Thompson, who wrote this episode) for the full-on rom-com goodness we’re getting here. Nicola Coughlan is nailing the comedy (no surprise for our Derry Girl, but it still must be said) and Luke Newtown is nailing the art of the swoon — and I simply cannot wait until Colin and Pen are nailing each other. Of course, we are well aware from seasons past that the anticipation is part of the fun. Sure, we’re only two episodes deep, but thus far this season is really bringing it in terms of carefully pushing our leads closer and closer to the moment we all know they’re headed for, of letting us see the wheels turning in Colin’s head as he slowly starts to see Penelope in a different way. Newton especially has a tall order to fill at this point in the story. Although TV Colin and Penelope’s storyline is played out much differently from the book version (the TV version has much more urgency, and having Colin m
