Royal Challengers Bangalore registered a brilliant away win over Punjab Kings in Mohali on Thursday.
Faf du Plessis played as an impact player in today's match. He is the captain of RCB in the current season, but today he handed over the captaincy to Virat Kohli. Bangalore reached a fighting score based on his innings of 84 runs off 56 balls. Then the amazing performance with the ball by the RCB bowlers. At one point, Virat Kohli's team almost reached the threshold of victory. At that time wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma started the batting for Punjab.
After 2021, Virat returned to toss in the IPL as captain. However, he lost the toss and had to come down to bat. King Kohli scored a half-century as captain, and made a partnership of 137 runs with du Plessis. However, RCB's middle-order batting could not stand at all after building a century partnership in the opening. RCB scored 174 runs at the end of 20 overs despite batting badly.
The target of 175 runs is also very difficult for Punjab Kings. Opener Atharva Thaide got out in the first over. Consecutive wickets were taken by Liam Livingstone, and Sam Curran. Although on the one hand, young Prabhasimran Singh took the responsibility of building the innings. But got out after scoring 46 runs. Jitesh Sharma's brilliant innings came at a difficult time. But his innings of 41 runs off 27 balls did not work. Punjab was all out for 150 runs. Mohammad Siraj took four wickets. Captain Virat left the field winning by 24 runs.
