5 factors that helped RCB get past GT in a nerve-wracking clash

Siraj-led RCB demolish GT

Mohammed Siraj sent a reminder to one and all with the wickets of Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill.

Siraj finished with a spell of 2/9 in the powerplay as GT could only muster 23 runs with just two boundaries. That really ended things for GT before……

Shahrukh-Miller partnership gives GT a slim hope

The partnership between Shahrukh Khan (37) and David Miller (30) gave GT some hope. Between the two, they scored 61 off 37 balls, threatening to blossom before Karn Sharma removed Miller. 

First team to get all-out at Chinnaswamy since 2018

GT entered the record books for all the wrong reasons, becoming the first side since PBKS (2018) to get all-out at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. It was only the ninth occasion overall in 182 innings. 

Faf du Plessis and a sizzling show

Chasing 148, RCB knew that powerplay was going to be ultra-important, and it was evident in Faf du Plessis’ approach during the first six overs, scoring 64 runs in the phase. 

In doing so, Du Plessis also notched up an 18-ball fifty, the second-fastest 50 for RCB. 

Joshua Little tries his best

2 overs, 32 runs, one wicket.

That’s how bad Joshua Little’s day was going before he picked up the trio of Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green. Little’s plan was quite evident, bowl it short and into the surface, forcing the batters to take a risk, with figures of 3/13 in his last two overs.
