IPL 2025 mein Monday night ka match bana ek thriller, jahan Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ne Mumbai Indians (MI) ko unke hi ghar Wankhede Stadium mein 12 runs se hara diya. Is jeet ke saath hi RCB ne apna away-game domination confirm kar diya hai – pehle Chepauk mein CSK, phir Eden Gardens mein KKR aur ab Wankhede mein MI – teeno giants ko unki home ground par dhool chataa di.
“Woh match ekdum zabardast tha. Bowlers ne jis tarah se fight dikhayi, woh dekhne layak tha. Honestly, yeh win unke naam hai. Is ground pe batting lineup ko rokna asaan nahi hota. Krunal ne bhi last over mein amazing bowling ki. Us time humein clear tha ki match ko deep leke jaana hai aur KP ka ek over end tak rakhna hai. Jab Hardik Pandya ka over khatam hua, toh maine socha – ab toh full attack! Wrist spinners jaise Suyash Sharma ne bhi kamaal ka kaam kiya,” – Patidar ne post-match presentation mein kaha.
RCB ka yeh moment sirf ek win nahi tha, yeh ek statement tha. 2015 ke baad pehli baar unhone Wankhede mein MI ko haraya. Is win ke baad RCB points table mein Gujarat Titans aur Delhi Capitals ke peeche third spot pe bana hua hai.
Patidar ki captaincy mein RCB ne ek historic feat achieve kiya hai – ek hi season mein CSK, KKR aur MI ko unke ghar mein haraana. Isse pehle sirf David Hussey ki Kings XI Punjab (2012) hi yeh kar chuki hai. Patidar ban gaye hain pehle Indian aur sirf doosre captain jinhone yeh achievement haasil kiya ho.
Aise matches IPL ko truly unpredictable aur exciting banate hain. Aur Patidar ne prove kar diya ki jab pressure hota hai, tabhi asli hero samne aata hai.
