Turning Point
With Rajasthan Royals needing 17 off 12 balls and two set batters at the crease, the momentum was clearly with the chasing side. But Josh Hazlewood flipped the script in the 19th over with a ruthless display of pace and precision. He dismissed Dhruv Jurel, Jofra Archer, and Shubham Dubey in rapid succession, reducing RR from 189/5 to 191/9. That stunning triple blow not only derailed the Royals' chase but also shattered their composure. Hazlewood's over, marked by controlled aggression, decisively turned the tide and sealed the contest in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's favour.
Unsung Hero
In a match brimming with standout moments, Devdutt Padikkal delivered the innings that no one shouted about yet everyone needed. Walking in after Salt's exit, Padikkal crafted a 27-ball 50 that seamlessly kept RCB's tempo alive. His 95-run stand with Kohli ensured the innings never sagged, targeting bowlers like Farooqi and Hasaranga with grace and intent. No wild celebrations, no theatrics just crisp timing, smart placement, and boundary-hitting fluency. While Hazlewood's spell rightly drew the headlines, Padikkal's elegant acceleration through the middle overs was the spine of RCB's total, making him the match's unspoken catalyst.
