Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are locking horns in the 43rd match of the Indian Premier League 2021 in Dubai. RCB are in a commanding position to make their way to the playoffs while RR are in desperate need to win their remaining games to find a place in the top four.
Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bowl first on a fresh Dubai pitch that has grass on the top. RCB handed debut cap to George Garton in place of Kyle Jamieson while RR brought Kartik Tyagi in while leaving Jaydev Unadkat out.

Evin Lewis started RR’s innings in fine fashion and smashed RCB bowlers in all corners of the park. Yashasvi Jaiswal gave him good company and matched him shot for shot. Both openers added 59 runs for the opening wicket and set the platform for a huge total.
Daniel Christian came to bowl the 9th over of the innings. Jaiswal welcomed him by smashing him for a six over the cover boundary. On the next ball, he tried to score another boundary but Christian didn’t give him any width. Jaiswal managed to hit the ball as far as mid-off where Mohammed Siraj took a regulation catch. Christian had the last laugh against Jaiswal and perfect revenge.
