Asked to bat first, Virat Kohli (61) took RCB off the flier with his staggering knock at the top of the order. Virat Kohli stitched a 96-run opening partnership with Faf du Plessis (79*), who then blasted a 115-run partnership with Glenn Maxwell (59). On account of their half-centuries, the home side posted a total of 212 runs on the board.

RCB vs LSG: “We backed ourselves to get a run-out,” Faf du Plessis on last ball drama 

The game went down the last ball with LSG needing 1 run in 1 ball. Harshal Patel bowled a brilliant slower ball, which Avesh Khan missed. Bishnoi, who was at the non-striker’s end, was quick to run but keeper Dinesh Karthik fumbled to grab the ball and it saw LSG claiming the match by just 1 wicket.

Faf du Plessis was disappointed that his side couldn’t get the run out on the last ball. He lauded the opposition for playing well and said:

“Disappointed. They played well through the middle. One ball one run. We backed ourselves to get a run-out. Just looking at the wicket, from 7-14 it was quite slower. The last five overs it started skidding on. Really good for some good cricketing shots. Stoinis and Pooran played everything off the middle.” Faf du Plessis said at the post-match presentation. 

RCB will be next seen in action when they will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in their next game on Saturday (15th April).
