Virat and Anushka have become parents for the second time in February this year as Anushka gave birth to their son, Akaay and she was in London for quite some time after the baby’s birth.
DC was led by Axar Patel in this crucial clash as DC’s regular skipper Rishabh Pant has been banned for 1 match because of his team’s slow over rate for the third time in the tournament.
As far as the match is concerned, DC chose to bowl first after winning the toss and it did manage to dismiss the RCB skipper Faf du Plessis (6 runs) early in the match but Virat Kohli played a quick knock of 27 runs (13 balls, 1 four & 3 sixes). Rajat Patidar (52 runs, 32 balls, 3 fours & 3 sixes) once again played a super knock and he was well supported by Will Jacks (41 runs, 29 balls, 3 fours & 2 sixes) and Cameron Green (32 runs, 24 balls, 1 four & 2 sixes) and RCB put a competitive total of 187/9 on the score board.
In response, DC could manage only 140 runs and its highest scorer was the team’s stand-in skipper Axar Patel who scored 57 runs for which he played 39 balls and his innings included 5 fours & 3 sixes. The DC team was all-out by 19.1 overs and with this win, RCB moved to the 5th position in the points table with 6 wins in 13 matches.
DC must have missed its regular skipper Rishabh Pant in this match, what do you say?
