Royal Challengers Bangalore handed Rajasthan Royals a significant jolt in its IPL 2023 playoffs bid with a colossal 112-run win on the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
A horrendous batting implosion on its house turf has positioned the 2022 runner-up on the point of an early exit earlier than its ultimate league sport, whereas RCB strengthened its possibilities by transferring to the fifth spot with 12 factors.
Chasing a frightening 172-run goal on a dry floor, the famed Royals top-order was blown away by a rejuvenated PowerPlay burst by RCB. Mohammed Siraj, who went wicketless in two successive video games, eliminated the aggressive Yashasvi Jaiswal for a two-ball duck within the first over.
Left-arm seamer Wayne Parnell silenced the spectators in pink when he prized out Jos Buttler for his fourth duck of the season earlier than skipper Sanju Samson aimlessly supplied a modern catch within the second over.
Batting for the primary time in three matches since his debut, Joe Root was burdened with staging a restoration. His goal discovered negligible assist from affect sub-Devdutt Padikkal, who chipped leg-spinner Michael Bracewell to mid-wicket within the fifth over. Parnell (3/10) returned to entice Root leg-before as Royals have been lowered to twenty-eight for 5 within the PowerPlay.
