Kansas City Chiefs down San Francisco 49ers to clinch Super Bowl title
Kansas City Chiefs had their defence to thank for the Super Bowl victory. The Chiefs (15-4) trailed 24-0 and 17-7 in their earlier playoff games, both in the first half. In the Super Bowl, they almost didn’t have time for retaliation. However, the 49ers defence wilted. Patrick Mahomes showed the world why he is so special as he almost single-handedly inspired the Chiefs to a memorable come-from-behind victory. The victory was extraordinary considering Chiefs’ 50-year title drought and coach Andy Reid’s two-decade long quest for silverware.
RCB looking to end a 12-year wait for IPL title
RCB would hope that they can take inspiration from the Chiefs and end their 12-year drought for an IPL title. RCB have appeared in the IPL finals thrice. They lost to Deccan Chargers (2009), Chennai Super Kings (2011) and the Sunrisers Hyderabad (2016). Captain Virat Kohli would hope that his RCB side can play boldly and stake a claim for the IPL trophy which has eluded them for 12 years.
