IPL 2025 mein Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ne Punjab Kings (PBKS) ke khilaf Mullanpur ke Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium mein zabardast jeet haasil ki. Is match mein Virat Kohli ne 54 balls mein not-out 73 runs banaye, jabki Devdutt Padikkal ne 61 runs ki shandar pari kheli. In dono ke behtareen knocks ki wajah se RCB ne 7 wickets se match jeet liya.
Is jeet ke baad RCB points table mein third position par aa gaya hai, jahan unke naam hai 5 jeet, 3 haar aur total 10 points. PBKS bhi utne hi points ke saath fourth spot par hai. Lekin RCB ka net run rate behtar hone ke chalte unki position thodi strong hai.
“Credit jaata hai bowlers ko bhi. Dev aur Kohli ne jis tarah apne plans execute kiye, woh dekhne laayak tha. Bowlers ne har stage par contribution diya. Execution lajawab tha,” Patidar ne post-match presentation mein kaha.
Pehle batting karte hue PBKS ka explosive batting line-up RCB ke spinners Krunal Pandya aur Suyash Sharma ke samne tik nahi paaya. Dono ne do-do wickets lekar opposition ko pressure mein daal diya.
RCB ka away-game form toh zabardast chal raha hai, lekin Patidar chahte hain ki ab home ground – Bengaluru ke M Chinnaswamy Stadium mein bhi momentum banaye rakhein.
“Bas toss jeet jaana hai wahan (Chinnaswamy mein). Home crowd ke saamne accha khel dikhayenge aur jo galtiyaan hui hain unko sudharenge,” Patidar ne add kiya.
Ab RCB ka next match Rajasthan Royals (RR) ke khilaf 24 April ko Bengaluru mein hoga. Pehle bhi dono teams ek baar takra chuki hain jahan RCB ne RR ko Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Rajasthan mein haraaya tha. Dekhna yeh hoga ki kya RCB phir se apna dominance dikhata hai ya RR karega comeback.
