However, in addition to the results, one of the most common moments of the match was as a patient, in a move reminiscent of Gautam GambhirSet the tactical, aggressive field against the legendary Mrs. Donlimiting him to play his natural game.
Gautam Gambhira’s shadow crosses over the tactic of the patidar rajat against MS Dhoni
The crisis fans immediately reminded themselves of the famous field settings of the former KKRK Gambhira against Mrs. Dhoni when Patidar distributed the identical strategy in Chepauk. As soon as Dhoni entered that he was engaged in no. 9, RCB has already gained complete control over the match. However, instead of letting Dhoni get rid of and maneuver the ball for light singles, Patidar surrounded him with Polish players, reducing his scoring capabilities.
Just as Gambhir did during his kkr days against Dhoni, Patidar put the grounds in aggressive positions-plump, middle wolf, medium, short leg and even sliding. The packed field meant that Dhoni had no room to turn the strike, forcing him to or try risk shots or consume the ball point in his initial stages of hitting. The strategic splendor behind this setting quickly became viral, and fans dug up old Gambhira clips using similar tactics to frustrate Dhoni in past IPL meetings. Former cricket Navjot Singh Sidhu It was also taken out, pointing out that setting up RCB was to calculate a move to neutralize one of the biggest finishers in the crice.

RCB -O’s tactical splendor and struggle CSK -A
The RCB decision to take control early in the match paid off because they dismantled the CSK line of hit with a disciplined bowling. Josh Hazlewood led a charge with 3/21, well supported Yash dayal (2/18) i Liam Livingstone (2/28).
CSK -O’s best order fought with Travel Giikwad Falls on a gold duck and Rahul Tripti and Deepak Hood Failing to influence. By the time Ravidar Jadej tried to reciprocate with a few latest blows, the match was already out of reach.
After 17 long years, the RCB victory signaled a great shift in their approach, and Patidar’s captain was a witness of their well-planned execution. The aggressive field strategy against Dhoni not only limited it, but also attracted a wide gratitude for its tactical depth. While CSK is overgroup after this defeat, Patidar announced himself as a captain with sharp tactical consciousness, and his approach similar to Gambhiru in the field positions may be just a draft for future teams that face Dhoni.
Here’s how the fans reacted:
