In the 18th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) thrashed Mumbai In♕dians (MI) by seven wickets at Pune’s ✤Maharashtra Cricket Association on Saturday
Chasing 152, RCB got off to a decent start with openers Anuj Rawat and Faf du Plessis adding 50 runs in eight overs. In the very next over, Jaydev Unadkat broke🔯 the partnership by dismissing captain Du Plessis (16).
Then, Rawat and Virat Kohli took ch🦹arge and completely owned the show by forming a giant 80 runs partnership for the second wicket to ta🦄ke the game away from Mumbai. Rawat smashed a sensational half-century and was looking well set to take the team home before he met an unfortunate run-out in the 17th over.
The left-handed batter scored 66 off 47 deliveries with the help of eight boundaries, including 6 sixes. Similarly, Kohli scored a decent knock of 48 from 36 balls before Dewald Brevis got rid of the former RCB skipper in the penultimate over. Glenn Maxwell then hit back-to-back bℱoundaries 🍸to finish the proceedings.
Earlier, Suryakumar Yadav, with a sensational unbeaten knock, guided Mumbai to a respectable total 🌺after MI lost six wickets f🅘or just 79 in 13.2 overs.
Suryakumar starred with the willow against all the odds and stayed undefeated at 68 runs from 37 deli🎃veries with the help of 11 boundaries, including 6 humungous sixes.
Openers Ishan Kishan (26) and Rohit Sharma (26) chipped in with valuable contribuಌtions at the top🐟 as MI reached 151/6 in their allotted 20 overs.

Two g🎶reat teams at the today. Neither really competed today. Had their moments at best, but were never likely to win. 0-4 now for both. Nobody saw that coming
