5 Major Reasons Why CSK pulled it off against RCB: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat RCB in the Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 8, the two teams looked more or less equal on paper, while RCB had the edge of momentum over Chennai. But at the end of 40 over’s MS Dhoni’s team proved why they are termed the most consistent side in the IPL. They not only beat RCB by 3 wicket but enroute that also made themselves eligible for playing the 6th IPL final in 8 years of the league. Here are the 5 Major Reasons Why CSK pulled it off against RCB:

1. Variety in the Bowling Unit:

CSK played 3 regular spinners and 3 regular pacers apart from the part time bowling option in Suresh Raina. On the track which was slow and offered plenty to the slow bowlers, CSK had bowlers of all kinds to restrict Royal Challengers Bangalore batting unit from scoring. On the other hand, Bangalore bowled with their 5 regular bowlers consisting of only 1 spinning option in YuzvendraChahal who picked 2 crucial wickets. Considering the pitch, playing another spinner in Iqbal Abdullah was an option but again that was at the cost of altering the winning combination.
