They limited the batting to 89 for 5 in the 12th Over, therefore it was an excellent toss to win. From the top order, only Rahmanullah Gurbaz began to move. Although the opener scored 57 runs, the other end kept losing partners. The attack from Rinku Singh and Shardul Thakur began to demolish the RCB bowling attack, which caused the momentum to change. Together, they scored 103 runs in only 47 balls, bringing the team total up to 204.Shardul Thakur took on the bowlers and amassed 68 runs at an astounding strike rate of 235 while Rinku Singh played second fiddle, scoring 46 runs off 33 balls! In response, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) came out swinging, but both of their openers, Kohli and Faf, were dismissed during the powerplay. The RCB batsmen were duped by Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, who used their mystery to trick them.While Narine took two wickets, Chakravarthy claimed four victims. Suyash Sharma, a rookie, also joined the fun and took three wickets. Eden Gardens exploded in cheers as they watched their team thrash RCB by an enormous margin of 81 runs!
Player of the Game is SHARDUL THAKUR.
Shardul Thakur: “I have no idea how it happened, but everyone would have assumed that we were having trouble at the moment if they had looked at the scorecard. Your subconscious, however, takes over. We work really hard in the nets, but you need higher level talents to do that as well. We can slog it out in the nets for a while. We have the option of range-hitting, and the coaching staff performs the throwdowns. Additionally, you are aware that batsmen always enjoy playing on certain types of pitches.
