IPL 2023: Top Ten Moments from League Stage
These moments will be etched in the minds of ardent IPL buffs for years to come.
4. Rajasthan Royals getting bundled out for 59
In the 60th IPL match, Rajasthan Royals (RR) required a victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to qualify for the playoffs without any hassle. Playing in front of the home crowd at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, RR bowlers stopped the visitors to 171/5 in their 20 overs.
Following the target, Royals were expecting their key batters Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, and captain Sanju Samson to turn up against bowlers but all these names failed in front of RCB’s disciplined bowling. Along with these big names, key batters Joe Root and Devdutt Padikkal also fell under pressure.
In the lower middle order, Shimron Hetmyer played some good strokes but eventually, the West Indies batter also fell to Glenn Maxwell after scoring 35 off 19. After Hetmyer’s wicket, the remaining lower-order batters Adam Zampa and KM Asif also got out to Karn Sharma in the next over. At the end of the game, RR got folded to 59 in 10.3 overs.
