IPL 2021 CSK beat RCB – RCB’s Most Shameful Record: RCB sets very shameful IPL record, Virat Kohli’s team registers 7th consecutive defeat in UAE – In typical Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fashion, Virat Kohli and Co. succumbed to defeat against rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) when the two teams met in Sharjah on Friday. Put into bat, RCB had a good start from their openers only to see their innings tail off, setting CSK a 156 run chase, with MS Dhoni and Co. duly chased down to go top of the table. The loss continued RCB’s wretched run in the UAE, and the three-time finalists have now lost their last seven games in the Gulf nation.
