Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Rajasthan Royals highlights
RCB’s victory was shaped by a solid batting display and a disciplined bowling performance, particularly in the death overs.
Josh Hazlewood emerged as the game-changer with a remarkable spell that turned the tide firmly in Bengaluru’s favor. The Australian pacer conceded just one run and picked up two wickets in the 19th over, completely halting Rajasthan’s momentum. Earlier, he also removed the dangerous Shimron Hetmyer in the 17th over, where he leaked just six runs, demonstrating his control and composure under pressure.
Batting first, RCB posted an imposing 205/5 in their 20 overs. Virat Kohli led the charge with a commanding 70 off 42 balls, supported by Devdutt Padikkal’s aggressive 50 off just 27 deliveries.
Their partnership laid a solid foundation, allowing RCB to build momentum. Jitesh Sharma provided the finishing touches with a brisk 20* off 10 balls. Rajasthan’s bowling unit struggled for control, with Sandeep Sharma (2/45) and Hasaranga (1/30) among the wicket-takers.
In reply, Rajasthan got off to a decent start but lost wickets at regular intervals. Yashasvi Jaiswal top-scored with a blistering 49 off 19, but no batter managed to anchor the innings deep.
Krunal Pandya chipped in with two crucial wickets in the middle overs, while Hazlewood’s late burst sealed the game. Despite reaching 194/9, RR fell short, handing RCB a much-needed home triumph.
