Adversities can make people see the lighter side of life and that's what Virat Kohli is doing at the moment while trying to figure out how he is getting dismissed in every possible manner during this IPL, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis said on Friday. RCB lost to Punjab Kings by 54 runs and Kohli was again out for 20 as he now has only one half-century in 13 games.
Set a mammoth target of 210 against Punjab Kings, all eyes were on Virat Kohli to finally make his statement but the Royal Challengers Bangalore batter was dismissed after scoring 20, and in the end, the side stumbled to a 54-run loss. In the second over of the chase, Kohli had played his trademark cover drive off the bowling of Arshdeep Singh and it was looking like the batter was in the groove. However, he perished in the fourth over bowled by Kagiso Rabada. After the dismissal, Kohli looked at the skies and was seen saying something.
Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone flattened the Royal Challengers Bangalore as Punjab Kings kept their IPL 2022 playoff hopes with a thumping 54-run victory on Friday at the Brabourne Stadium. Jonny Bairstow smashed 66 off 29 deliveries to give Punjab a flying start, while Livingstone ensured they finished with a bang as well, with his knock of 70 off 42. Harshal Patel took four wickets, while Wanindu Hasaranga took two to become the joint-leading wicket-taker this season. For RCB, Glenn Maxwell top-scored with 35, while Kagiso Rabada picked three wickets for PBKS.
Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Brabourne stadium in Mumbai on Friday night, Jonny Bairstow had scored a total of 104 runs (85 balls) in the previous five matches. It was with a 40-ball 56 against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday that the Punjab Kings wicketkeeper-batsman had got into the groove. But on Friday, the 32-year-old operated on a different plane, taking the RCB bowlers to the cleaners in Powerplay. With his 29-ball 66 (4x4; 7x6) the Englishman got Punjab off to a dream start with 81 runs coming off the first six overs. If Bairstow powered the beginning, Liam Livingstone anchored the finish of Punjab’s innings with his 70 coming off 42 balls, which enabled Punjab to finish their quota with 209/9.
Virat Kohli is doing at the moment while trying to figure out how he is getting dismissed in every possible manner during this Indian Premier League, said Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis on Friday. RCB lost to Punjab Kings by 54 runs and Kohli was again out for 20 as he now has only one half-century in 13 games. "He (Kohli) is seeing the lighter side of it. Every single way that you can possibly get out is happening to him. That's how the game works," Du Plessis said after the match.
Punjab Kings buried Royal Challengers Bangalore under a deluge of runs as they kept their play-off hopes alive with 54-run victory, riding on superb half-centuries from Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone in an IPL match on Friday. Bairstow (66 off 29 balls) and Livingstone (70 off 42 balls) propelled Punjab Kings to 209 for 9 in a must-win game and the scoreboard was always going to be telling as RCB were restricted to 155 for 9 in 20 overs. As it happened | Scorecard | Points TableWhile Punjab remained in the mix with 12 points from as many games, the margin of victory considerably improved their net run-rate to +0.210 and RCB despite having 14 points from 13 games are at -0.323. RCB will have to win their final game and move to 16 points but also now need to have some rub of the green with a few favourable results going their way. It was another day and another failure for Virat Kohli (20), who got a faint under-edge tickle on his gloves before it hit his thigh pad and bobbed up to short fine leg off a Kagiso Rabada (4-0-21-3) delivery. Rabada was literally unplayable on the day as he worked at a good pace and hit the ideal fuller length for the better part of his spell.
