Virat Kohli, who stepped down as the captain of RCB after last season, has managed to score 107 runs in five games so far. His score of 1 (3) against CSK, which was his lowest score in the five innings so far. Kohli had been in decent form in IPL 2022, and he missed a half-century twice this season.

Some brilliant bowling efforts from Chaudhary and Dhoni’s strategies helped them clean up Kohli early in the game. Chaudhary has picked up one wicket each in all the games that he has played so far, except for LSG but  the number of runs conceded by him has remained a concern.

The game against RCB would have ended early for CSK if Chaudhary had not dropped two sitters. Though, CSK managed the pressure well and eventually went on to register their first win of the season, adding two points to their name.
