Jitesh Sharma’s Controversial Dig at CSK Fans
Ahead of the much-anticipated clash, a video surfaced on RCB’s official channel, where Jitesh Sharma was asked about his thoughts on Chennai. His response, perceived as a stereotypical dig, didn’t go down well with CSK supporters.
The backlash was evident when Jitesh walked back to the pavilion after scoring 12 off 6 balls, as the stadium DJ played the viral ‘Dosa Idly Sambar Chutney’ song. The crowd erupted in cheers, turning the dismissal into a moment of banter.
RCB’s Strong Batting Performance
Despite the trolling, RCB posted a formidable 197-run total, thanks to a captain’s knock from Rajat Patidar and quick contributions from Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, and Tim David.
In the second innings, RCB’s bowlers took charge, with Josh Hazlewood striking twice, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Liam Livingstone added to CSK’s troubles.
CSK’s Struggles in the Chase
CSK’s batting lineup failed to fire, with only Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dube managing to cross double digits. Yash Dayal dismissed Ravindra before he could complete his second fifty of the season, further denting CSK’s hopes.
With RCB in full control, a victory against CSK at Chepauk seemed inevitable. However, the DJ’s cheeky response to Jitesh Sharma’s remarks stole the spotlight, making the match unforgettable for CSK fans.
