Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni pulled up his batters for their poor shot selection after suffering a 13-run loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore, which pushed the defending champions to the brink of elimination. Invited to bat, RCB posted 173 for 8 and then returned to restrict CSK to 160 for 8 in their stipulated 20 overs on Wednesday. "We did well to restrict them to 170-odd runs. We had to get off to a good start, everything was up to the mark and what let us down was the batsmanship," Dhoni said after the match. CSK were 54 for no loss in 6.3 overs but they kept losing wickets to eventually fall shot of the target. It was CSK's seventh loss of the season.
Kohli consumed 33 balls to put together 30 runs and then played a role in Glenn Maxwell's run out to slow down RCB's innings. On this day, however, Kohli wouldn't have been bothered about all the talk over his form as RCB returned to winning ways with an impressive bowling performance. RCB's Mahipal Lomror also showed class and composure during his 27-ball 42 (3x4; 2x6). AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD | POINTS TABLELomror and Karthik took RCB to 173/8 at the MCA stadium in Pune. On a pitch which offered good spin and bounce, pacer Josh Hazlewood (1/19), Maxwell (2/22) and Harshal Patel (3/35) then came up with the goods to break the team's three-match losing streak as RCB prevailed by 13 runs. CSK openers Ruturaj Gaikwad (28) and Devon Conway (56) looked to recreate the magic of their previous outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad, in which they shared a 182-run association. While Shahbaz Ahmed halted Gaikwad's run, Maxwell tilted the scales in RCB's favour by sending back danger men Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu in quick succession.

RCB bowlers then restricted the defending champions to 160 for 8, despite a fifty by opener Devon Conway (56).

Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana, who had taken four wickets when Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) last faced Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, once again proved to be a bane for the Faf du Plessis-led side on Wednesday as he took three wickets in the penultimate over to halt their momentum at the death and help restrict them to 173/8, when a bigger total looked to be on the cards. He finished with figures of 3/27 and was CSK's best bowler on the night.
