Rajasthan Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore in the second qualifier of the 2022 Indian Premier League, putting an end to RCB's journey in this season's playoff. Now, Rajasthan will lock horns with Gujarat Titans in the finals. Faf would lose out on a crucial toss with Sanju putting RCB to bat. Despite the early wicket of Virat Kohli, an in-form Rajat Patidar would stabilize the ship with Faf du Plessis, giving a platform for the Challengers to accelerate, something that the batters would eventually fail to capitalize on.
Riding on Rajat Patidar’s 58, RCB would post 158 on the cards, which initially seemed to be tricky. Jos Buttler would hammer home a rollicking century to defy the Challengers. With all said and done, the Royal Challengers Bangalore would end up mucking up the defense way too early as Siraj would be ripped into shreds.
