The Royal Challengers Bangalore’s powerhouse Kohli takes on Jofra Archer and hits a flat six over long-off. The delivery was a leg-cutter slower ball outside off, but Kohli came down the track and slammed it with great force.
Behrendorff, the Impact player, starts off with a neat first over. However, Kohli quickly gets into his groove and hits a boundary. In the third over, du Plessis smashes Behrendorff for a four and two sixes. Archer drops Kohli on 7 in his first ball.
The RCB skipper Faf du Plessis doesn’t let the opportunity go to waste and strikes a four and a six off Archer’s bowling in the same over. As the powerplay comes to an end, RCB finishes on a high note with a score of 53/0.
As he runs off the field, Tilak Varma punches the air in celebration of his exceptional innings. Mumbai Indians were struggling at 20-3, and the situation looked even more dire when SKY got out at 48-4. However, Tilak’s remarkable performance nearly single-handedly propelled his team to a score of over 170.
Although it may not be enough to secure a victory, Tilak demonstrated both his composure and skill throughout the match. Despite MI’s star players struggling and Karn Sharma and Michael Bracewell bowling effectively, Mumbai Indians managed to produce 60 runs in the last four overs, shifting the momentum in their favor.
