CHENNAI: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have broken the Chepauk jinx, and how! When they last beat mighty neighbours Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Rahul Dravid was still their captain. The only RCB player who was part of that 2008 squad and is still playing is Virat Kohli, and his face at the end of the 50-run rout said it all.
At the other end of the spectrum were the shocked faces of those 34,000-odd CSK diehards, who are not exactly used to a humiliation of this magnitude in their own den. To add salt to CSK’s wounds, RCB had a forward short-leg and a slip in place in the 16th over when MS Dhoni finally came out to bat at No. 9.
