Mixing up his arsenal of fiery yorkers with well-directed bouncers, Bumrah claimed the prized wicket of the in-form Virat Kohli (3) early in the innings, extending Kohli's modest run at the Wankhede Stadium in IPL matches.
Despite Kohli's early dismissal, du Plessis and Patidar broke their poor form streaks, each notching up a crucial half-century and forming a resilient partnership of 82 runs for the third wicket. However, Bumrah's exceptional bowling display in his three overs after the halfway mark seemed to dent RCB's resistance significantly.
Nevertheless, Karthik, particularly targeting Akash Madhwal (1/57), unleashed a barrage of boundaries and sixes, amassing 38 runs off just two overs from Madhwal. His blistering innings, adorned with five fours and four sixes, proved instrumental in RCB's total.
It's not a replay ❌
It's just using his improvisation perfectly 👌 not once but four times.

Will Jacks showed promise in his debut innings but couldn't capitalize, offering a catch to Tim David at mid-on off Madhwal's bowling as RCB faced an early setback. However, du Plessis steadied the ship, guiding RCB to 44/2 within the powerplay.
Rajat Patidar, initially cautious, gradually found his rhythm to register his first fifty of the season. One standout moment was Patidar's powerful strike off a Pandya delivery, sending the ball soaring into the second tier, wide of long-on.

The significance of Glenn Maxwell's contribution was paramount for RCB's quest for a formidable total, but he fell victim to Shreyas Gopal, becoming his 50th IPL dismissal, trapped leg-before while attempting a risky shot across the line.
Du Plessis, meanwhile, continued to anchor the innings and eventually reached his half-century, but his departure in the death overs added to RCB's challenges.
