HOW TO WIN AT CHINNASWAMY when defending Since 2023, IPL has returned to a home and away format. This gives an interesting insight on how to win at Chinnaswamy especially when defending totals (bowling in the second innings). There were 7 night games in the past 2 seasons where teams scored < 200 in the first innings. The team batting first won only 2 out of the 7 games! The lowest totals defended in a night game is just 182. The second lowest total defended is 188. This means that teams that score less than 180 have barely any chance of winning a night game! The lowest total was defended by LSG in 2024 Season. The second lowest total defended was RCB vs DC in 2024 Season. We can see some interesting trends when we look at the score cards. In the game vs LSG, the chasing team RCB lost 3 wickets in the powerplay! The score at the end of powerplay: 48-3 (6.0) In the RCB vs DC game, DC lost 4 wickets in the powerplay! The score at the end of powerplay: 54-4 (6.0) The key to winning at Chinnaswamy is: 🏀 Opt to bowl first after winning the toss 🏀 If you fail to win the toss, score at least 190 or more 🏀If you fail to score 190 or more, then take 3 or more wickets in the Powerplay to give yourself a chance!

Every season we have a rain affected game and RCB is batting first in bowling friendly conditions. The top order fails and it will be a low scoring game. Last year it was the game against Punjab Kings in Bengaluru.

We havent seen a low scoring IPL match in a long time

We RCBians deserve to witness this dominance of RCB cause once we used to lose matches even from situations like this. We have gone through so much suffering man.

Almost every short length ball was a dot or a wicket while almost all boundaries were hit off good length balls in the Capitals innings. Short ball is the way to go for all non Bumrah bowlers.

Mr Nags is the man who trolls Virat but doesn't get anything in return 😂❤️

Strong start at home with awesome support at the Chinnaswamy. Next stop, Guwahati. @RCBTweets

Really wanna see both of them batting together against CSK 😭

That night, that match, that Virat Kohli 🥹

Tim David and Romario Shepherd appreciating each other’s knocks in the comments of a fan edit 😭😂

brooooooo 😭😭

@Rcb_Xtra Insane cope man 😂

I'm just wondering who tf asked?

@ponananthvs KissClassico

Been on this for a long time, RCB - CSK is the biggest rivalry in cricket. There’s literally no love between them, look at the bloodbath in TL for example. CSK - MI is a cute rivalry that hypes each other more than being rooted on hate

"For plan against CSK bowling, just watch SA20" -Ashwin 🤣🤣

This peak still feels unreal enjoy every bit of it RCB Nation.

@VIPERoffl He is seriously crying about sound system 🤣 Its called home and away for a reason

Areyyy he is crying for playing songs in one speaker for CSK😭😭 x.com/Anshithaprince…

If you’ve supported RCB from the start of the IPL, been through all the highs and lows, and prayed for days like this - you’d be smiling even in your sleep tonight. What a team! 😇🧿❤️‍🔥

@geopolitiik You are gonna teach RCB fans about heartbreak? 😂

RCB fans, you can go a bit easy. I can tell you the heartbreak of dominating the entire season and then losing a knockout is far worse than the frustration of early exits. Early exits don't make you hate the game, but getting knocked out after dominating entire season makes you hate the game. Two of the worst games I ever saw as a CSK supporter were CSK Vs Punjab Q2 in 2014 and CSK Vs MI final in 2019.

Tim david ~ Bye bye Ball 💀
