Explosive innings by Rajat Patidar propels RCB to 206/7 against SRH in IPL clash
In a thrilling match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, Rajat Patidar’s explosive innings stole the show as RCB posted a formidable total of 206 for seven. The contrast between Patidar’s aggressive approach and Virat Kohli’s measured innings was evident throughout the match.
Patidar’s blistering knock of 50 off just 20 balls, including four consecutive sixes off Mayank Markande, set the tone for RCB’s innings. Kohli, on the other hand, played a supporting role, scoring 51 off 43 balls and focusing on rotating the strike to his partner.
Despite a strong start from Kohli and Faf du Plessis, RCB lost momentum in the middle overs before Patidar’s onslaught in the 11th over. His quickfire fifty off 19 balls was in stark contrast to Kohli’s more patient approach, as the duo combined for a crucial partnership to propel RCB past the 200-run mark.
Cameron Green and Swapnil Singh also played vital cameos in the death overs to ensure RCB reached a competitive total. However, the spotlight was firmly on Patidar’s explosive innings, which showcased his ability to take on the bowlers with aggressive strokeplay.
With Sunrisers Hyderabad known for their strong batting lineup, the stage is set for an exciting run chase as they look to chase down the target set by RCB. As the match unfolds, fans can expect a thrilling contest between two top teams in the IPL.
