In a thrilling showdown at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore, RCB clinched victory over GT with a smashing 4-wicket win! Siraj and Green led the charge, smashing through GT’s top three during the batting powerplay, leaving them reeling with the lowest Powerplay score of IPL 2024 (just 23 runs!).
Miller and Shahrukh Khan stepped up to the plate, orchestrating a dynamic 61-run partnership that rescued the team from a sticky situation. Meanwhile, Rahul Tewatia’s blistering 35 off 21 in the middle overs proved pivotal for GT, while Rashid Khan and Vijay Shankar’s contributions added crucial runs to help Gujarat Titans reach a competitive total of 147.
Yet, facing the formidable RCB lineup, it was clear GT needed something extraordinary from their bowlers. The chase kicked off with a heart-stopping moment for RCB as David Miller had three wickets in his sights with Virat five yards from the crease on the very first ball. But fate intervened, granting Virat a lifeline, and he seized the opportunity, launching two thunderous sixes in that over.
Meanwhile, Faf du Plessis unleashed an onslaught from the other end, smashing an astonishing 64 runs off just 22 balls, sending upset to Gujarat Titans’ fans. However, his rampage came to a sudden halt as he was caught out in the penultimate ball of the batting powerplay.
Just when it seemed like RCB had the match firmly in their grasp with their best-ever powerplay score, disaster struck. In a breathtaking turn of events, they suffered a spectacular collapse, plummeting from 92/0 to a precarious 117/6 in the blink of an eye.
Panic gripped the Chinnaswamy Stadium as supporters watched in disbelief at the unfolding drama. But in true RCB fashion, their savior in times of crisis, Dinesh Karthik, emerged to quell the chaos, ensuring no further setbacks for the team, and won the game in just 13 overs.
