Clinical Chase by RCB
Chasing the target, RCB’s top order, led by Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis, exhibited composure and authority, steering the team to victory with ease. Kohli’s fluent knock and Du Plessis’s solid support ensured that RCB comfortably crossed the finish line with ample deliveries to spare.
Strong Start to the Season
With this convincing win, RCB has made a strong statement in their campaign, while KKR will look to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures. Pandya’s brilliance with the ball and RCB’s clinical chase have set the tone for an exciting IPL season ahead.
