Opener Prabhsimran fell early in the reply innings which was a setback for Punjab. The star had fallen before establishing itself. Bear Stow, who came on later, showed flashes of form but fell at the halfway mark. Bairstow got out after scoring 26 runs off 17 balls.
Then there was a great performance by Riley Russo. The player scored a half century off low balls but it was not enough to win. Punjab hero Shashank Singh also looked at one hand but it was no match. Skipper Sam Curran then tried to flash one at the last minute but failed. In the end all the Punjab batsmen went up for 181 runs.
Meanwhile, today is a day of celebration for Indian fans. RCB star Virat Kohli came out with a brilliant innings against Punjab Kings and the fans were relieved. On the strength of Kohli’s half-century, RCB scored a massive score of 241 runs against Punjab.
In today’s game for RCB, not only Kohli but also Rajat Patidhar and Cameron Green good performance in the innings. Patidar’s quick innings gave RCB the upper hand in the game. Punjab won the toss and sent RCB into bat.
Duplessi and his team, who started batting later, gave the impression that the decision was wrong in the first phase. They were under a bit of pressure early in the third over when skipper Duplessis came back to the pavilion. But on the other side, Kohli was building the innings and taking it.
Duplessis scored 9 runs off 7 balls. Can’t blame the audience who were expecting the usual RCB drama as Will Jacks, who came out number three, was also disappointed. That’s where Rajat Patidhar comes in at number five. But by then, Kohli had gained his momentum with the bat.
The player who swung the bat at a low level in the beginning changed later. On the other hand, things became easy for RCB as Patidar broke and started hitting. The player swung the bat very quickly and that was reflected in the strike rate. Finally, the star returned with a quick half-century.
By then the score had reached 119. Kohli then took over. After watching the star’s innings, the fans expected him to score a century. But it didn’t happen. Kohli finally fell eight runs short of his century after the team’s score crossed two hundred.
Cameron Green then led the team forward. Dinesh Karthik also filled the pitch with last minute fireworks and RCB scored the lead. Cameron Green scored 46 runs off 27 balls and Dinesh Karthik left the crease with 18 runs off 7 balls. Finally, their innings ended on 241 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in twenty overs.
Nobody had much to do in the Punjab bowling line-up. Harshal Patel took three wickets. Later only Vidwat Kumarappa shone a little. The player took two wickets. Among the rest, Arshadeep and Sam Curran took a wicket each.
