RR thrash RCB: Who is the winner and sinner?
Rajasthan Royals defeated the Bangalore outfit by 19 runs at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Kohli won the toss and put the Royals to bat first. However, the Royals' batsmen sent RCB bowlers on a leather hunt posting 217/4. Sanju Samson delivered the match winning knock of 92 runs. In response, RCB could only manage 198/6. Here is our winner and sinner of this fixture.
Rajasthan Royals managed to reach the 200 run mark courtesy of the big-hitting exploits of their young batsman Sanju Samson. The Kerala lad scored an unbeaten 92 off 45 balls scoring at a strike rate of 204.44 to propel the Royals to 217/4. The right-handed batsman's innings included 2 fours and 10 massive sixes.
Royal Challengers' big-hitting opener Brendon McCullum is the sinner of this game. When you are chasing a 200+ target in the T20 format, the onus is always on the openers to give the team a good start in the powerplay. McCullum, however, failed to do so and his poor patch at the Chinnaswamy stadium continued. McCullum scored only 4 runs off 4 balls.
