On Super Sunday, Royal Challengers Bangalore put up a scintillating show in all departments and registered a mammoth 112-run win over Rajasthan Royals. Praising RCB all-rounder Glenn Maxwell for his match-winning fifty against a quality Rajasthan Royals bowling attack, former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh claimed the win reflected RCB and Maxwell’s character.
Speaking on Star Sports’ Cricket Live, Harbhajan said, “This is the victory of RCB and Maxwell’s character. It was a very important match and Maxwell took advantage of the freedom (he’s getting at RCB) and played an excellent innings.”
“Maxwell respected Chahal’s good bowling and hit fours and sixes on the bowlers who were bowling loose. He played according to the need of the team and for any player, nothing is more important than this. You must not forget that you are playing a team game, not an individual match, and you must always keep the needs of the team in mind. Maxwell did exactly that and his innings deserves to be praised.”
Later, Kolkata Knight Riders blanked Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets and spoiled the CSK fans’ party in the last home game of the MS Dhoni-led side in the league stages. The loss also stalled CSK’s playoffs qualification chances as they’ll now have to win their final game against DC to book a berth for the knockout stages.
However, while taking the lap around their Anbuden after their final home game in TATA IPL 2023, former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar took Dhoni’s autograph on his shirt. It was a moment to behold for all cricket fans and it even triggered the debate if MSD has hinted about his IPL future.
