RCB Ends 17-Year Losing Streak at Chepauk with Dominant 50-Run Win Over CSK

Rajat Patidar, Josh Hazlewood, and Tim David shine for RCB, while MS Dhoni's milestone and batting position fuel discussions.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 50 runs, marking their first win at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium since 2008.
Rajat Patidar scored a pivotal 51 off 32 balls, and Tim David's three consecutive sixes in the final over helped RCB set a target of 197.
Josh Hazlewood's 3/21 led RCB's bowling attack, dismantling CSK's chase and securing the team's historic victory.
MS Dhoni became CSK's all-time leading IPL run-scorer with an unbeaten 30 but faced criticism for batting at number nine in the lineup.
Post-match moments, including Kohli and Dhoni's viral camaraderie and RCB's celebratory dance to 'Run It Up,' highlighted the cultural significance of the win.
