The match between RCB and CSK in the IPL 2024 was a tense and exciting affair. RCB, led by Faf du Plessis, achieved a significant win to secure the last playoff spot with an impressive showing.

During the game, Kohli was frequently engaged and communicated with the officials more than Faf du Plessis, causing disapproval from Matthew Hayden during the live broadcast.

There was a moment of dispute when the RCB players voiced their displeasure with an umpiring call. The controversy revolved around a decision to call a no-ball against Lockie Ferguson, which benefited Rachin Ravindra. Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli claimed that the no-ball was caused by the wet ball in slippery conditions.

This problem was brought up a few overs ago, resulting in a tense argument. Even with du Plessis' absence, Kohli persisted in expressing his concerns to the umpire, a decision that was met with criticism.

"There's way too much interjection from Virat Kohli. He is not the captain and he should not be in those conversations with the umpire," Hayden said on commentary.

After a rough beginning, the team captained by Faf du Plessis has now won six games in a row, completely changing their season.
