00:09What a night at Chinnaswamy! RCB pulled off an incredible chase against the Gujarat Titans,
00:15winning by 5 wickets in a game that had basically everything. They were chasing 206 which is never
00:24easy. But they made it look light work, finishing it off in the 19th over. Earlier on it looked like
00:33Gujarat had it in the bag. Sai Sudarshan was on another level. The guy hit a brilliant 100 of 58
00:40balls. Just pure class. He and Shubhamad Gill put on 128 for the first wicket. And honestly,
00:47Sudarshan did not look like he was going to miss a single ball. He also broke a massive record during
00:55the knock, becoming the fastest player ever to hit 2000 IPL runs. Whether it was pace or spin,
01:03he just had an answer for everything. By the time Gujarat finished at 205, RCB had a mountain to climb.
01:13RCB lost Jacob Bethel early. But then Virat Kohli and Devdutt Particle just took over. They put on
01:21115 runs together and completely shifted the momentum. Particle was playing out of his skin,
01:29hitting a quick 55, while Kohli did what he does best, controlled the entire chase.
01:38Watching Kohli was something else. He hit 81 and in the process became the first player in IPL history
01:45to hit 800 4s and 300 6s. It was not just about the records. It was the way he dominated
01:54ballers
01:55like Rabada and Rashid Khan. It felt like vintage Kohli. It would not be an RCB game without a bit
02:04of
02:04stress just when it looked like they had cruise home. Rashid Khan got Particle out and then Kohli
02:11fell shortly after. When Partida and Jitesh Sharma went quickly, the crowd started getting a bit nervous.
02:20Luckily, Kronal Pandya and Tim David kept their cool. They shut down the noise and finished the job
02:27with over and over to spare. Huge win for RCB. They are up to second now. And that momentum
02:34is looking scary.
