match report
RR won the toss and decided to bowl. Batting first, RCB scored a relatively low total of 157 runs. Rajat Patidar was the batsmen’s choice as he scored a brilliant 58 off 42 balls.
He broke many records in his innings. Rajat Patidar became the second highest run-scorer in the history of IPL playoffs. He scored a total of 170 runs and is just behind Warner, who scored 190 runs in the playoffs in 2016.
No other RCB batsman looked to get his timing right, and RCB eventually finished with 157/8 in 20 overs.
Considering the kind of batsmen RR has, 158 was always an easy chase. But no one would have thought the royals would make fun of it. It all started with Jaiswal scoring 16 runs in Siraj’s opening over.
Buttler continued his red-hot form and chased down the target in the first 10 overs, scoring 106 off 60 balls. Butler’s shoulder collapsed at the RCB camp after fireworks, and he could not recover after that.
Sanju Samson comes on, hits some good looking shots, but leaves soon after. RCB tried to stop RR’s juggernaut, and they were successful, but the loss in the first 10 overs proved to be too much to recover from.
Rajasthan eventually completed the chase in 18.1 overs and booked their shot against Gujarat Titans.
