RCB’s quest to qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2023 was given a major boost when they thrashed the RR by a whopping 112 runs. RCB had scored 171/5 after which RR were all out for a paltry 59 runs in 10.3 overs. The RCB players were understandably a jubilant lot after the match in the dressing room.
Kohli said in a video that is posted by RCB –
“If I had bowled, they would have been all out for 40,” Kohli can be heard saying of how the team celebrated in the dressing room after the victory. Kohli has rarely ever bowled in his career and has himself made a number of jokes about his bowling action.
RR’s 59 all out is the third lowest score of all time in the IPL for a 20-over match. The second-lowest total of 58 was also by RR against RCB in the 2009 season while the lowest total of 49 was scored by RCB against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017.
