Dinesh Karthik showed his humorous side, saying that MS Dhoni\u2019s 110-metre six helped RCB beat CSK in the IPL 2024 match on Saturday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Although the Super Kings were asked to chase down 219, they needed 201 runs to hold on to their fourth spot and qualify for the playoffs.<\/p>\n
With CSK 17 runs short of a playoff berth before the last over, Dhoni hit Yash Dayal out of the park. Dayal bowled a hip-high full toss on leg stump and Dhoni pulled the ball out of his sight. But Dayal made amends on the second ball with a slower delivery that got the better of Dhoni.<\/p>\n

In an inspiring dressing room speech, Karthik said that Dayal found it easy to bowl with the replaced ball after Dhoni\u2019s humongous blow.<\/p>\n \u201cThe best thing to happen today was Dhoni hitting that six outside the ground, and we got a new ball, which was much better to bowl with,\u201d Karthik said. <\/i><\/p>\n RCB vs CSK: Highlights<\/a> | Scorecard<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYash, that was good bowling. When in doubt, always bowl a hip-high full toss on leg stump. Wherever he is, it\u2019s a good mantra to follow when the ball is wet,\u201d Karthik joked. <\/i><\/p>\n Karthik also lauded RCB for making an incredible turnaround. The Challengers once found themselves at the bottom of the table as they were on a 6-match losing streak. But from there on, Faf du Plessis\u2019 men won 6 matches in a row and turned their fortunes around.<\/p>\n \u201cJokes apart, we should be really proud of the journey we are having. People will always remember certain journeys. The way we have come back after 8 games, winning 6 games, people will remember this team for a very very long time,\u201d Karthik added.<\/p>\n RCB are now set to lock horns with either SRH on RR in the Eliminator to be played on Wednesday, May 22 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n\u2018People will remember this team\u2019 <\/b><\/h3>\n
