Overview
- RCB beat CSK by 43 runs in Bengaluru after posting 250/3, a total CSK had never conceded in the IPL.
- Tim David smashed 70 off 25 balls to cap the innings, finishing an unbroken 99-run stand with Rajat Patidar.
- Sarfaraz Khan top-scored for CSK with 50 off 25 balls before Krunal Pandya stumped him in the seventh over.
- As Sarfaraz walked off, Virat Kohli whistled, clapped, and told him 'well played,' with clips of the exchange spreading widely online.
- The moment carried extra weight because Sarfaraz began his IPL career with RCB in 2015 and joined CSK this season at his base price after two unsold auctions.
