IPL 2023: In this match, Rajasthan won the toss and invited RCB to bat first. Virat Kohli looked flop on the home ground but Faf du Plessis and Maxwell did not let their absence be felt at all.
In their 7th match, RCB gave a tough fight to Rajasthan running at number one in the points table. In this match, Rajasthan won the toss and invited RCB to bat first. Virat Kohli looked flop on the home ground but Faf du Plessis and Maxwell did not let their absence be felt at all. Another century partnership was witnessed from both the batsmen. However, RCB could not touch the 200 mark.
Du Plessis played an inning of 62 runs in 39 balls with the help of 2 sixes and 8 fours. But unfortunately Yashasvi became a victim of Jaiswal's direct hit. At the same time, Maxwell played an inning of 77 runs in 44 balls. But as soon as both the batsmen got out, the rest of the batsmen scattered like leaves. Dinesh Karthik scored 16 runs. Apart from 3 batsmen, no player could cross the double figure. Because of this, even after a good start, RCB's team could only score 189 runs against Rajasthan losing 9 wickets.
Virat took revenge from Jos Buttler
On one hand, Trent Boult sent Virat Kohli to the pavilion at zero. On the other hand, Mohammad Siraj blew the wicket of Jos Buttler to zero. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal's half-century and Devdutt Padikkal's 47-run knock kept Rajasthan in the match. But the RCB bowlers turned the tide of the match and did not allow Sanju Samson to survive. Shimron Hetmyer's bat also lacked runs and he soon became the victim of a direct hit. RCB won the match by 7 runs. This is RCB's second consecutive win while Rajasthan's second consecutive defeat.
