Royal Challengers Bengaluru romped to a massive total of 250 runs for the loss of just 3 wickets against the Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday in the IPL 2026 encounter between the sides.
Tim David’s 28-ball-70 run innings and brisk knocks from Rajat Patidar and Phil Salt carried RCB to the mammoth total as fans took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to express their awe at the run-fest.
One fan posted an update that read, “Tim David didn’t hit a six, he escorted the ball out with a goodbye gesture”

Chennai found themselves in trouble early in the chase as Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson and Ayush Mhatre all fell cheaply as Jacob Duffy and Bhuvneshwar Kumar did the damage for RCB.
