RR vs RCB, Match 60, IPL 2023

RCB won the toss and opted to bat first in Jaipur

Virat Kohli departed after a fifty-run stand with Faf du Plessis

While Faf played the anchor role in his fifty, Maxwell was the destroyer in the middle overs on a slow wicket, hammering a thirty-ball half-century

The wicket of Maxwell came after the quick dismissals of Karthik and Lomror, setting RCB back at the death

However, despite the wicket of Maxwell, a useful cameo from Anuj Rawat with some crucial late blows lifted RCB to 171

We don't know what plans were made in this huddle, but it certainly worked - and then some

RCB started their defence with a flurry of wickets, including the in-form opening pair for ducks. By the end of the powerplay, RR had lost half their side, courtesy a three-for by Wayne Parnell

The wickets kept falling regularly, despite some respite from Shimron Hetmyer, who struck 35 runs in 19 balls - outside of which the Royals scored 24 runs between 10 batters

The wicket of Hetmyer struck the final nail on RR's coffin, as they crashed to their second-lowest total of all time, and a crucial 112-run defeat to RCB
