‘Captain Kohli wapas aa gaye’ – Memes rain on Twitter as RCB beat RR by 7 runs in IPL 2023
In the ongoing sixteenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), action resumed with a doubleheader on Sunday. The day’s first match pitted Royal Challengers Bangalore against Rajasthan Royals in the infamous Royal Derby of the IPL, which was held at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The day’s second match will pit Kolkata Knight Riders against Chennai Super Kings in a high-octane battle at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens.
Sanju Samson, the captain of Rajasthan Royals, called for the home team to bat first after winning the toss. The opening ball of the game, bowled by Trent Boult, resulted in the loss of the Royal Challengers’ replacement captain, Virat Kohli. Faf du Plessis, a key figure, rebuilt the home team’s innings with 62 off 39 and Glenn Maxwell with 77 off 44, bringing the total to 189/9 in 20 overs.
Harshal Patel remained the star with a three-wicket haul
Trent Boult, who returned for the visitors with figures of 2/41 in four overs, continued to be the best bowler. Sandeep Sharma also returned with two wickets, but he gave up eight more runs than Boult. The spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin both returned with one wicket each.
Rajasthan responded by losing their top opener Jos Butler for a two-ball duck. The top order batsman Devdutt Padikkal (52 off 34) and his partner Yashasvi Jaiswal (47 off 37), though, helped the visitor’s innings get back on track. Sanju Samson’s (22 off 15) and Dhruv Jurel’s (34 off 16) heroics in the last over could not lift the Royals beyond the finish line as they fell 8 runs short of the goal. With a bowling line-up of 3/32 in four overs, Harshal Patel continued to be the preferred bowler for RCB.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals will square off at the former team’s residence in the sixteenth season of the lucrative league. Sunrisers will attempt to move over their most recent loss to Chennai Super Kings, which marked their second straight setback following a string of two victories. On the other hand, DC just defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders in their first game of the season, and they plan to keep winning.
