Against a resurgent MI side at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, RCB found themselves struggling early in their innings after losing the prized wickets of Virat Kohli and debutant all-rounder Will Jacks. Despite the early setbacks, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis showcased his batting prowess with a resilient 61 off 40 deliveries, aided by young Rajat Patidar’s impressive 26-ball 50.
However, the tide turned in MI’s favour when Jasprit Bumrah unleashed his bowling prowess, wreaking havoc on RCB’s batting lineup with a stunning five-wicket haul.
MI Dominates RCB with Stellar Batting Performance
Despite a valiant effort from Dinesh Karthik, who contributed an unbeaten 53 off just 23 balls, RCB could only muster a total of 196-8 in their allotted 20 overs. In response, MI’s opening duo of Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma laid the foundation for a successful chase with a century partnership. Suryakumar Yadav’s explosive cameo of 52 runs off just 19 balls ensured MI’s victory in the 16th over, leaving RCB’s bowlers reeling under pressure.
Amidst the relentless onslaught from MI’s batsmen, a segment of the crowd seized the moment to express their desire to see Kohli take on the role of a bowler. The chant of “Kohli ko bowling do” echoed through the stadium, prompting a playful response from the RCB skipper, who humorously gestured in acknowledgement of the fans’ request.
Jasprit Bumrah emerged as the standout performer of the match, clinching the coveted player-of-the-match award for his exceptional bowling display. Both captains, Faf du Plessis and Hardik Pandya lauded Bumrah’s match-winning contribution, emphasizing his invaluable experience and skill on the field. As the IPL 2024 season progressed, MI climbed to seventh position in the points table, while RCB found themselves languishing in ninth place, narrowly above the Delhi Capitals.
Despite the challenges faced by RCB, the unwavering support of the fans and the camaraderie among the players remain integral aspects of their journey in the tournament.
