Siraj delivers to Prithvi Shaw, who is unfortunately out due to a run-out. The impact player for RCB delivers a sensational bit of fielding to cheer himself up after recently making all the wrong headlines. The delivery was on a good length just outside off, and Shaw pushed it to the right of cover.
The single was available, but Rawat quickly moved to his right, made a one-handed stop, got up, and threw down the stumps at the bowler’s end. Shaw was caught short of his crease and had no chance to make it back in time. The entire motion occurred in one swift movement.
RCB’s innings can be divided into two distinct halves. By the 10th over, they had already reached an impressive score of 89/1 and were on track to reach a total in excess of 200. Virat Kohli continued to showcase his powerplay prowess, while Faf du Plessis also contributed some big shots before being caught by Aman Khan at mid-wicket. Kohli and Lomror then took on Mustafizur, scoring 19 runs off his second over.
Kohli went on to score yet another fifty before getting dismissed after hitting a juicy full toss. Glenn Maxwell came in and launched an attack on the spinners, but eventually fell prey to Kuldeep’s deceptive delivery.
Unfortunately, RCB’s fortunes took a turn for the worse, as they lost three wickets in just three balls across two overs, with DK even scoring a duck. Additionally, there were a few puzzling strategy decisions made by RCB, such as sending Harshal Patel up the order and using Anuj Rawat as an impact player, which prevented Hasaranga and Parnell from entering the game.
Although DC fought back, their batting has been inconsistent this season, leaving room for improvement. Nonetheless, they should be satisfied with their performance in this game.
