After Kohli returned for a golden duck, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell came out of their shell and took the responsibility into their own hands. Both shared a 127-run partnership to recover Bangalore from the initial loss. Du Plessis scored 62 runs in 39 balls, while Maxwell played an innings of 77 runs in 44 balls. Building on his contribution, Bangalore posted 189 runs on the board. Among other batsmen, only Dinesh Karthik could cross the double-digit mark as the wicketkeeper-batsman played a knock of 16 runs.
In response, Rajasthan dismissed their big player Jose Butler in the very first over. The English opener went back to the hut without contributing anything to the scoresheet. Yashasvi Jaiswal (47 runs in 37 balls) and Devdutt Padikkal (52 runs in 34 balls) tried to save them but they had to accept defeat in front of the disciplined bowling of the hosts. With Sanju Samson scoring only 22 runs, Rajasthan’s middle order looked very pale. Dhruv Jurel played a flamboyant inning of 34 runs in the end but could not take his team across the winning line. RR fell 7 runs short of the target.
