But RCB had come up with a different plan. RCB batsmen had come with the intention of washing the bowlers from the very beginning to improve the net run rate. Faf du Plessis was in a very attacking style. But Sai Kishore stopped him at the score of 24 runs. A twist was expected in the match from here, because Gujarat, playing on home ground, could dominate the match at any time. And RCB players were afraid that the top order might falter.
Kohli and Will Jacks did wonders
But Virat Kohli and Will Jacks did something that deserves praise. An excellent partnership of 166 runs was seen between the two batsmen. Virat Kohli contributed 66 runs in this partnership and Will Jacks contributed 100 runs. Both the batsmen played very strong innings and beat every bowler.
As a result, Virat Kohli scored 70 unbeaten runs in 44 balls with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes. At the same time, Will Jacks scored unbeaten 100 runs in 41 balls with the help of 5 fours and 10 sixes.
If this partnership had not happened between the two, RCB would have had to struggle a bit to win the match. At the same time, Gujarat bowlers could return to home ground any time. With this victory, RCB’s playoff hopes seem to be rising. Now it will be interesting to see how the other teams perform.
