The Royal Challengers Bengaluru continued their excellent away run with a resounding nine-wicket victory against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the shining star for RR, finishing with 75 from 47 deliveries, but Rajasthan Royals finished on 173 – a subpar total. RCB’s opening pair of Phil Salt (65) and Virat Kohli (62*) did what they wanted, taking advantage of RR’s fielding lapses and the lack of a reliable bowling attack. While Jaiswal showcased some clever strokes, the conservative middle overs and pursuit of perfection made RR’s fate seem inevitable. But RCB’s depth of batting, positive intent, and continued dominance in the powerplay made the difference.
