Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings Live Score, IPL 2023: What a blockbuster match! We watched an absolutely thrilling southern derby at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday. It was supposed to be a Virat Kohli vs MS Dhoni showdown. But in the end, it was about a blazing start by Ajinkya Rahane, superb knock by Devon Conway for CSK and spine-chilling fightback by Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell for RCB. This was the biggest chase in the history of IPL and RCB did an incredible job, though they fell short by 8 runs!
RCB suffered a nightmarish beginning as they lost Virat Kohli very early in the game. CSK’s impact sub Akash Singh made huge impact as he clean-bowled Kohli! Next to go was Mahipal Lomror. Till the time skipper Faf du Plessis and senior player Glenn Maxwell were at the crease, it looked like RCB was very much in the game instead of crumbling to a mammoth target.
Earlier in the evening, CSK batters completely demolished RCB bowlers. Ajinkya Rahane was on fire and that’s the understatement of the season! After losing toss, Chennai Super Kings were sent to bat, and they decided to punish the bowlers of Royal Challengers Bangalore. RCB bowlers were not able to do much.

Md Siraj got the breakthrough wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad during the powerplay. But once Rahane joined Conway, runs started coming in or rather rushing in for Kings. The second wicket partnership between Conway and Rahane gave a blazing start to CSK. Rahane looked simply unstoppable until he fell for Wanindu Hasaranga de Silva’s googly! Devon Conway’s 83 off 45 balls and Shivam Dube’s explosive 52 off 27 helped CSK to post this mega total on the board. Dhoni did come to bat but got just one bowl. There was no six from Mahi’s bat today. Instead, just a single.
Tonight, we also saw a rare glitch in the Dhoni Review System and some missed catches by CSK fielders. It was also a night of monster shots. Shivam Dube sent the ball on the roof of the stadium. One of his sixes travelled a distance of 111 meters! The match also broke all viewership records for Jio Cinema. At one point, 2.4 crore people were watching the match, the livestreaming data showed.
