Man of the Match

It was a surprise to see Virat Kohli coming out for the toss. Regular skipper Faf du Plessis wasn’t available for the entire game due to a rib injury and only batted as an ‘Impact’ player. The veteran proved his worth as an Impact player scoring a magnificent 56 balls 84 which included 5 fours and the same number of sixes. Faf stitched a brilliant 137 runs stand with today’s skipper Virat Kohli for the opening wicket and was instrumental in RCB’s score of 174 for the loss of 4 wickets.

Faf played as an Impact player and didn’t opted to field when Punjab Kings were batting. RCB bowlers were on the money right from the word ‘go’ as they scalped 4 wickets inside the powerplay. PBKS’ Impact player Prabhsimran Singh was one of the warriors with the bat as he scored 30 balls 46 which include 3 fours and 4 sixes. Once Prabh got out, everyone thought the game is over, but keeper-batter Jitesh Sharma had other ideas. The right-hander played an inspirational knock of 41 from 27 deliveries and almost took the game away from RCB almost single handedly. His valiant effort came to an end in the 19th over as he fell to Harshal Patel and that concluded Punjab’s innings. Mohammed Siraj was the damager of Punjab Kings innings as he returned his best IPL figures of 4 for 21. His brilliant bowling effort earned him the Man of the Match and also a proud owner of Purple Cap as of now.
