Match number 32 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) is taking place between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on April 23.

Royal Challengers Bangalore while batting first put up a decent score of 189 runs in spite of losing early wickets at the start. Glenn Maxwell and Faf Du Plessis played terrific innings to lead their side from the front.

But there was a heating moment in the match that resulted in an argument between the Rajasthan Royal’s skipper Sanju Samson and the onfield umpire Michael Gough. The incident happened at the last bowl of the powerplay.

All the players of Rajasthan Royals gathered while making discussions with the umpire. As Kumar Sangakkara head coach of the RR team had to intervene and stop the argument between the two. Speaking of the match. Rajasthan Royals started well but lost their momentum midway as RCB scored a decent score for fighting.

Here is the video:

Trent Boult gave momentum to the Rajasthan Royals by dismissing Virat Kohli on the very first bowl. As fans were left stunned in silence after his dismissal.

However, the silence lasted only for a short time. As the cricketing shorts of Glenn Maxwell and Faf gave joy to the fans as both of them built a long partnership of 127 runs shifting the momentum to Bangalore.

From the Royals team Sandeep Sharma, and Trent Boult picked up 2 wickets each. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal picked up 1 wicket each. It would be interesting to watch how RR bats against the in-form bowling unit of Royal Challengers Bangalore.
