RCB vs RR IPL 2023 Highlights: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) maintained their winning form by defeating Rajasthan Royals (RR) by seven runs on Sunday at the Chinnaswamy Stadium during the IPL 2023. Rajasthan, needing 190 to win, lost their star opener Jos Buttler for zero, but Devdutt Padikkal and Yashasvi Jaswal brought their innings back on course.

The duo added 98 runs for the second wicket before Padikkal was dismissed by David Willey for 52 (34). Shortly thereafter, Yashasvi 47(37) and Sanju Samson 22(15) were also eliminated. Shimron Hetmyer failed to produce huge hits and was run out for 3(9), but Dhruv Jurel's late cameo kept Rajasthan in the hunt. With 20 required in the final over, Jurely only faced the final delivery, as RR had already lost the match after accumulating 182/6 in 20 overs.

Previously, after Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell had decimated the Rajasthan bowling attack, the Rajasthan bowlers mounted a remarkable comeback. Both batsmen scored half-centuries as RCB amassed a formidable 189 for nine in 20 overs. After Trent Boult stunned the home side and reduced them to 12/2 in 2.1 overs, the duo entered the game.

Maxwell and Du Plessis, unfazed by the early strikes, which included the prized wicket of Virat Kohli 0(1), added 127(67) runs for the third wicket without wasting any time. Yashasvi ended Du Plessis' 62(39) run knock with a direct strike. Maxwell was dismissed by R Ashwin for 77(44).
