However, it was in the run-chase when RR collapsed. Wayne Parnell struck thrice for RCB, and all three of those wickets, of Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Joe Root came in the powerplay.
RR were already half their side down within the powerplay, being restricted to 28/5. It did not take long for RR to collapse, being bundled out for 59 in 10.3 overs.
Shimron Hetmyer (35) and Joe Root (10) were the only RR batters to have registered double-figure scores, with the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and R Ashwin enduring ducks.
The win took RCB to 12 points from as many games, remaining in contention for the playoffs.
Here’s how Twitterati reacted to RCB’s win:
What a debacle for Rajasthan, walloped by RCB by 112 runs, their prospects of reaching the play-offs in tatters. In the first couple of weeks this season, they looked the best team in the competition, in the past fortnight the worst

KGF are proving to be enough for RCB to stay in the hunt. Also, RCB have won all day-games this year. All defending. Bowlers had gone off the boil in the last couple of games…but picked up today and how. ????????
