Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals are currently squaring off against each other in the 27th match of the Indian Premier League 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium. Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bowl first following the common consensus of IPL 2022 as the team bowling first has won the majority of the matches this season given the conditions at Mumbai.
Royal Challengers Bangalore seemed to be in a problem at the beginning of the match as none of their top orders batters were able to impress. After the poor start that openers Anuj Rawat and Faf du Plessis gave to RCB, Virat Kohli too was unable to impress. However, Glen Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik later on played fabulously and helped Royal Challengers Bangalore reach a brilliant first innings total of 189.
Dinesh Karthik especially was sensational in the last few overs and he single handedly finished the innings for RCB in extraordinary fashion.
Especially in the 18th over when he was facing Delhi’s Mustafizur Rahman, Dinesh Karthik went full rogue and his 28 runs in the same over giving us Nidahas Trophy vibes. Karthik has been phenomenal throughout the season and this was yet another great performance by him. He scored 66 runs in 34 deliveries.
28 Runs in 18th Over – 4 4 4 6 6 4
