MI vs RCB 5th Match IPL 2023: The M Chinnaswamy Stadium welcomed back IPL cricket with a decisive victory for the hosts. The team demonstrated a brilliant all-around performance, with their bowlers taking wickets during the powerplay, followed by the spinners keeping things under control. The chase was executed flawlessly. Faf du Plessis seems to be in excellent form, resembling Benjamin Button with his consistent performance from SA20 to the IPL.
Fans couldn’t be happier. Although he didn’t quite finish the game, he put RCB in such a strong position that they were never in danger of losing. Virat Kohli, the showman, put on an exceptional display at his adopted home ground. He played with a smile on his face, quickly picking up the length and smashing some truly classy sixes. Despite a couple of late wickets, he stayed until the end, leading the franchise to victory with almost four overs to spare.
