The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) looked extremely dangerous at the beginning of the game. Some few spells form their bowlers have pushed the Rajasthan Royals (RR) to the backfoot. But it was Sanju Samson who wanted to grab the Orange Cap. He punished each and every RCB bowlers and RR put 217 runs on the board. Despite a furious batting from Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Washington Sundar and Mandeep Singh towards the end, the home team fell short by 19 runs and lost another game in this tournament at their own backyard.
Some extraordinary performances were witnessed by the fans this evening and it was good to see that the RR has finally made a comeback in this tournament.
