6.3Natarajan to V Kohli6
Six runs. SIX! T Natarajan to Virat Kohli. Out-swinging back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. A cakewalk of a victory for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This emphatic win not only boosts their net run rate but also serves as a perfect response after that setback against Delhi on their home soil. A new-ball masterclass from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood set the tone, grabbing 7 wickets between them. Royal Challengers Bengaluru carried that momentum forward effortlessly, chasing down the target without any fuss, Devdutt Padikkal ending unbeaten with an explosive 34. After questions were raised about the Delhi Capitals' bowling in the previous game, the spotlight has now shifted firmly onto their batting unit, whilst Royal Challengers move into second place. Josh Hazlewood takes the Player of the Match award.
