RCB vs PBKS: Maxwell played a blistering innings of 57 runs off 33 balls.
#Dubai: This year’s IPL is special for him. Captain Virat Kohli’s success in the Royal Challengers Bangalore jersey in the IPL is second to none. But batsman Kohli cannot be ignored in T20 cricket. Even in the country’s jersey, Kohli’s success in the shortest format of cricket is enviable.
But no one knows what happens to him when he wears the RCB jersey! He is the captain of RCB for so many years. But has not yet tasted the trophy. Among them, Kohli has announced again that he is leaving the captaincy of RCB after the current IPL. That is, if the trophy is not won this time too, Captain Kohli will have to leave with great regret. And a cricketer like him would definitely not want to leave the field with such disappointment.
Before the knock out, RCB and Punjab Kings are going to play the final on Sunday. The situation is very complicated for both parties. If Virat Kohli loses to RCB today, KL Rahul’s playoffs will be virtually in doubt. On the other hand, if they beat Punjab today, Royal Challengers Bangalore will secure a place in the playoffs. However, the pressure on Kohli’s team will also increase if they lose.
So far, Virat Kohli’s RCB has got 14 points in 11 matches. It can be said that they are in a good place in IPL this time. But this is not the first time, Kohli’s RCB has been knocked out in the end despite having placed well in the tournament several times before. Now Captain Kohli will surely not want to let something like that happen. KL Rahul’s Punjab got 10 points after playing 12 matches. As a result, if they lose today, the pressure on them will increase a lot. Then they have to look at wasting the other team’s points. So Punjab Kings have to beat RCB anyway today.
Virat Kohli could not play a big opening innings in an important match. He was bowled by Henriques after only 25 runs. But Devdutta Padikkel seems to be in dream form. He played an important innings of 40 runs on this day as well. But Glenn Maxwell has to be told separately. Virat Kohli seems like a phone call changed his career. He scored a half century in just 29 balls. His innings of 57 runs from 33 balls was decorated with four sixes and three boundaries. Ever since he donned the RCB jersey, Glenn Maxwell has been batting brilliantly. Virat Kohli trusted him. And the all-rounder paid the price of that trust with interest. RCB scored 164 in 20 overs.
