Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals are currently squaring off against each other in one of the most highly anticipated matches of IPL 2022. RR and RCB are undoubtedly two of the strongest teams in the tournament this season and they are bettered by perhaps only Gujarat Titans. This was thus a much anticipated match and so far the two sides have not dissapointed the fans. Talking Royal Challengers Bangalore emerged victorious the first time these two teams came face to face this season and so far in this match as well, RCB have undoubtedly been the better side and can be considered to be the favourites to win the point at this point.
RCBβs bowling attack simply dominated Rajasthan Royalsβ batters from the very beginning in this match. The early dismissals of Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal came as a big shock for the Rajasthan Royals and they were unable to score a high first innings total.
However, Riyan Parag stepped up to the occassion and made sure that Rajasthan Royals atleast reached a respectable total of 144 runs. His unbeaten knock of 56 off 31 was crucial for RR and it gave them a base upon which they can build in the second innings with a brilliant bowling performance.
The fact that RCB were not able to take the important wicket of Riyan Parag definitely got under the skin of many RCB players and Harshal Patel was one of them. When the first innings was over, he was seen having a big argument with Riyan Parag as he was walking back to the pavilion. The video of the same has now gone viral on social media.
