When 200 Wasn’t Safe Anymore…
Cricket fans walked into this clash expecting a thriller — but what they got was absolute chaos (the good kind). Runs flowed and bowlers suffered. By the end of the night, one thing was clear: 200 is no longer a winning score in the IPL.
RCB Set the Stage… But Left the Door Open
Royal Challengers Bengaluru came out with intent and posted a strong 201/8. It looked like the total that puts you in control… but not quite out of reach.
There were flashes of brilliance. There were some big hits and a late push. Deep down, it felt like RCB had left just enough room for chaos.
And chaos was coming.
