Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)
Virat Kohli: Started aggressively with 28 runs off 13 balls (including a flurry of boundaries against Kagiso Rabada) but fell to the South African pacer shortly after.
Devdutt Padikkal: Anchored the middle with 40 runs off 24 balls, though he lacked support from the other end.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Led the bowling fightback with 3/28, taking the crucial wickets of Gill and Buttler to give RCB a glimmer of hope.
Match Highlights & Turning Points
The Collapse: RCB struggled to build partnerships, losing wickets at regular intervals. From a steady position, they crumbled to 155 all out as Arshad Khan and Rashid Khan applied the brakes.
Powerplay Blitz: Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler virtually ended the contest in the first six overs, taking the score past 70 and making the target look much smaller.
Despite Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s triple strike and Suyash Sharma’s wickets, impact sub Rahul Tewatia (27 off 17) and Rashid Khan ensured there was no late upset.
