Bumrah Restricts RCB Batting Lineup

Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted 196/8 in their 20 overs after being sent in to bat. Captain Faf du Plessis scored 61 runs off 40 deliveries, while Rajat Patidar added 50 from 26 balls to stabilize the innings following the early dismissal of Virat Kohli (3). Dinesh Karthik anchored the death overs with an unbeaten 53 from 23 balls.

The total was kept under 200 primarily due to Jasprit Bumrah. Operating with extreme precision, Bumrah recorded figures of 5/21, dismantling the RCB middle order and preventing a late-overs surge. Readers can view complete bowler metrics via ESPN Cricinfo.
