Royal Challengers Bangalore walk in the park on Kohli, Salt half tons against struggling Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur

Sanju Samson and Jaiswal struggled against quality seam bowling after being inserted into bat by Royal Challengers Bangalore yesterday huffing and puffing in the Power play overs with only success from the openers being unbeaten in the first sixr overs during the field restriction period but on the negative angle stiching only 48 runs .

Jos Hazelwood is a seam bowler known to bowl a variety that made it difficult for Rajasthan Royals openers to free their arms, but Jaiswal kept the home fires a light with his improvised stroke play.

Frustrated Sanju Samson threw his wicket down the drain by premeditating to come down the wicket for ar delivery that kept low from left arm spinner Krunal Pandya only to be stumped for a lack luster 15 he made in 19 deliveries with Rajasthan Royals loosing their first scalpr on 49.r

The entrance of Riyan Parang at number 3 made life easy for Jaiswal to showcase his batting talent.

Parang played freely from the get-go, but a loose shot selection had4 him back in the hutchtr for 30 caught by Virat Kholi at short extra cover, giving Yash Dayal his first victim with Rajasthan Royals opening the gate with 2 for 105.

Rajasthan Royals needed a score of at least 200 to be competitive against the strong batting cordon of RCB.

Jaiswal batting on 75 was trapped LBW of a Hazelwood in dipper with Rajasthan Royals5 on 126 in the 16th over.

Duruv Jurel made batting look easy when he made 35 in just 23 deliveries, but Hetmyyer, the carribean finisher, dismissed for 9 with the score on 169 , brought down the curtain of the4 home team stiching a par score of 200 whilst Jurel stood his ground unbeaten on 35 and all that Rajasthan Royals could muster was 173r for 4 wickets in 20 overs , setting the visitors a target of 174.

Catching and ground fielding by RCB must improve in the games ahead. They dropped 4 sitters whilst their ground fielding looked out of sort in the heat of the Jaipur summer.

Hazelwood 1 for 26 in 3 overs , krunal Pandya 1 for 29 in his 4 overs , and Yash Dayal 1 for 36 mush be given credit for controlling the Rajasthan Royals from scoring freely throughout the innings.

A target of 174 against the likes of Phil Salt, Virat Kholi, and Rajat Padikkal at the top of the order must be addressed with disciplined bowling and out of the box catching, but this prerequisite was not to be.

Phil Salt was dropped on 24 , and he went on to make 65, Virat Kholi dropped on 7, and he ended up unbeaten on 62 , whilst Padkkal took advantage of poor bowling b y all the Rajasthan Royals bowlers to remain unbeaten on 40 as the visitors got to 175 for 1 wicket giving the home team a thumping win by 9 wickets.

RCB now moves to slot 3 in the points table.
