It turned out to be a dream night for Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Yash Dayal as he successfully defended 17 runs in the final over against the formidable duo of Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni, steering his side into the IPL 2024 playoffs.
After putting up a commendable 218 for 5 on the board, thanks to contributions across the batting chart led by skipper Faf du Plessis's 39-ball 54 on a difficult M Chinnaswamy track, RCB limited CSK to 191 for 7 for a 27-run win. It took RCB's points tally to 14, the same as CSK, but the Bengaluru outfit leapfrogged CSK in the net run-rate column to finish fourth.
