More about the RCB vs RR match

In the first innings, when the Royal Challengers Bengaluru were on the pitch to bat, the batters apparently promised to create a bigger target for Rajasthan Royals. However, the RR bowlers had different plans. Trent Boult dismissed RCB skipper Faf du Plessis for 17 runs, giving a huge shocker to RCB.

On the other hand, Virat Kohli tried unleashing his batting prowess but lost his wicket to Yuzvendra Chahal, who was brought on in the eighth over. It was the moment when RR had its big breakthrough. However, the following few overs were just like a 'see-saw.' RCB faced a major retardation after Cameron Green and Glenn Maxwell were sent back to the pavilion upon being dismissed. Speaking of the last over, Swapnil Singh and Karn Sharma hit a couple of boundaries and eventually pushed the score to 172.

When Rajasthan Royals began the run-chase, the team seemed quiet for the first two overs. It was Yashaswi Jaiswal who broke the shackles, and the opening partnership between him and Lockie Ferguson picked up pace. Then walked in Sanju Samson and was successful in keeping the required rate at its level. However, he soon was stumped off a wide delivery by Karn Sharma.

In the last five overs, RR needed 48 runs to have their win at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Finishing off in style, Rovman Powell hit two fours and a six in the penultimate over.
