Fans were keen to watch how Joe Root goes about his business in his maiden trip to the crease in the Indian Premier League, but the England stalwart couldn’t make a noteworthy first impression with the bat. He scored 10 runs before Wayne Parnell rapped him on the pads. Rajasthan Royals failed to click in unison as a batting unit, crashing to 59 all out chasing 172 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
This heavy defeat pegs Rajasthan back in the playoff race, with only one league game to go. The massive win gives RCB’s net run rate a fillip as they rise to the fifth spot on the points table, with a berth in the playoffs now in clear sight. On the other hand, the heavy defeat pegs Rajasthan back in the race, with a solitary league game to go.
Earlier, 51 runs were scored in the last five overs at just over ten an over, as Glenn Maxwell went ballistic to usher Royal Challengers Bangalore to 171-5 in 20 overs. He didn’t last particularly long after his fifty, falling to a tame reverse-sweep.
A massive win for @RCBTweets at Jaipur👏 👏
