4 teams have made it to the playoffs of IPL 2024, which also includes Royal Challengers Bangalore. In the 68th match of IPL 2024, Bengaluru succeeded in securing a place in the playoffs by defeating Chennai in a thrilling match. Yash Dayal was bowling the last over of the second innings of this match. MS Dhoni hit a six on his very first ball, after which everyone remembered his IPL 2023 and felt that maybe Dhoni can win the match by hitting more sixes. After this, Yash Dayal adopted Virat Kohli's Gurumantra and what happened next was worth seeing.
What was Virat Kohli's Gurumantra?
In the 68th match of IPL 2024, Yash Dayal got the responsibility of bowling the last over against Chennai Super Kings. Captain Faf du Plessis's plan was to bowl yorkers to Dhoni who was on strike at that time. But Dayal's ball was a full toss and Dhoni hit it 110 meters away. After this brilliant six, Chennai Super Kings had to score only 11 runs to win.
Then there was an interesting turn in the field. It was captured in the camera that Virat Kohli, who was standing near the boundary, ran to Dayal and advised him to bowl the ball slowly. Kohli was seen saying, “Don't bowl yorkers, bowl slower balls.”

Dayal continued his strategy in the remaining four balls and troubled Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja. Both the batsmen could score only one run each. With this win, Royal Challengers Bangalore registered its sixth consecutive win and secured a place in the playoffs.
