Rajat Patidar and Krunal Pandya Unleash Carnage, Smash 28 Runs off Kulwant Khejroliya

Rajat Patidar and Krunal Pandya Unleash Carnage

Rajat Patidar and Krunal Pandya did not take much time before taking down the GT bowlers with utter dominance. After dropping chances off Prasidh Krishna, the RCB duo took down GT’s new man Kulwant Khejroliya in his second over.

A Solid Start for RCB

Royal Challengers Bengaluru started off well in the Qualifier 1, as the successful pair of Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal once again added runs with a fifty-run partnership that gave them a solid start after the powerplay.

Much remained silent after those two quiet overs from Rashid Khan and that double wicket strike from Jason Holder. However, the RCB batters were patient as they relied on their ability to accelerate at any point of the game.

The Turning Point

After Rajat Patidar offered some chances in the 14th over, he pounced onto a free hit in the very next over from Kulwant Khejroliya. After being hit for some boundaries on a no-ball and the free hit, Khejroliya overstepped on the fourth ball of the over.

This time it was Patidar who came into the party and scored 14 of the last three balls, hence, finishing a massive 28-run over. This set the tone for the carnage that Rajat Patidar was looking to bring down at Dharamshala.

• The partnership between Rajat Patidar and Krunal Pandya was a key factor in RCB’s dominance.
• Kulwant Khejroliya’s expensive over proved to be a turning point in the game.
• RCB’s ability to accelerate at any point in the game was a significant advantage.

With this explosive partnership, RCB is looking to make a strong statement in the tournament. The team’s ability to dominate the opposition with their batting prowess is a significant threat to other teams.
