IPL 2023, RCB vs RR Highlights: Pure thriller! Royal Challengers pull off thrilling 7-run win by defeating Rajasthan in close chase

RCB vs RR Highlights, IPL 2023: Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Rajasthan Royals by seven runs in an Indian Premier League match in Bangalore on Sunday.

Glenn Maxwell hammered 77 off 44 balls while Faf du Plessis contributed 62 off 39 balls to guide RCB to a par score of 189 for nine after being sent in to bat.

Stand-in skipper Virat Kohli (0) was adjudged leg-before to Trent Boult in first over but Du Plessis and Maxwell added 127 for the third wicket before RCB lost momentum towards the end.

Boult finished with 2 for 41 but best bowler on view for RR was Yuzvendra Chahal (1/28). In his entire spell, Chahal conceded only one six and not a single boundary.

Chasing, RR were on course after the early dismissal of Jos Buttler, with Yashasvi Jaiswal (47) and Devdutt Padikkal (52) stitching 98 runs for the second wicket before both departed in quick succession to be restricted to 182 for six.
