Rajasthan Royals had a horrendous time in the 60th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Jaipur. They displayed a poor batting performance that saw them crumbling for the third-lowest total in the league.

Asked to bowl first, they displayed a decent effort with the ball as they kept chipping in with the wickets and putting pressure on the opposition. Based on the staggering bowling effort by Adam Zampa (2/25) and KM Asif (2/42), they restricted RCB to a total of 171 runs.

However, it was a forgettable outing with the bat for them as they lost wickets in clusters and were under immense pressure. They first lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler for ducks and after that wickets fell like a pack of cards with RCB’s Mohammed Siraj and Wayne Parnell taking wickets with the new ball.

Shimron Hetmyer looked the most settled batter for them as he smashed 35 runs whereas none among them crossed the 10-run mark. Based on the superlative bowling performance from RCB, RR were bundled out for just 59 runs. This was their second-lowest total in the league.
