IPL 2025, RCB vs SRH emphasis
RCB slipped from second to third place, with their clean run was a significant intervention after a heavy defeat. Former finalists tried to secure themselves at the end of the Top-DVA league phase. However, it seemed that a 20 -day break between accessories was working against them. RCB looked rusty in the field and lacked a rhythm with a bat in what was disappointing in Lucknow.
Ishan Kishan at the head of Sunriser FridayHe smashed 94 from only 48 balls and the first half a century after scoring centuries in the seasonal opener. Captain Pat Cummins raised three goals, while Eshan Malinga continued his impressive run by requiring two more when Sunrisers defended their impressive sum of authority. RCB has collapsed in the last stages and lost the last six goals on only 16 runs when they disintegrated under pressure.
“Sometimes the loss of the game is a very good sign because you can check and analyze. Positive is that everyone leads. After this loss we have failure to think again. We are moving forward,” said Captain Jitesh Sharma.
Despite admitting 231 runs, RCBs hoped to chase the target on what was a good tall surface. Virat Kohli and Phil Salt gave them a strong start and added 80 runs in just 42 balls. Salt struck 62 out of 32 supplies, while Kohli, in his happiness, managed 43 out of 25 balls.
During the powerplay, RCB seemed to be closer to the goal and introduce competitive persecution.
We were rusty: jitesh
However, the rest of the batting set did not contribute significantly. Mayank Agarwal, who came for Devdutt Padikkal, was released on the 11th.
Jitesh Sharma gave a short flash of hope with a fast 24 out of 15 balls, but the aspirations of RCB evaporate when he was released in 17th place.
To make matters worse, the reliable finisher Romario Shepherd fell on the duck. Tim David, who seemed to suffer from fear in hamstring, managed only 1 run out of 5 balls and looked unpleasant running between goals.
“We were rusty. The intensity was not there at the beginning. We bowed to death more precisely. As far as Tim is concerned, I haven’t met him yet because I was upset after I got out,” Jitesh admitted, thinking about a faint team trip.
RCB now has to win its final league game against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday and hope that other results, including those concerning Gujarat Titans and Kings-go pandjab to get a chance to finish in the first two.
RCB qualified for the playoffs in five of the last six seasons, but could not achieve the final in any case, mainly to ensure the top-two target.
