IPL 2022: Riding high on momentum, RCB could be too strong for inconsistent Punjab
Arshdeep Singh to bowl the last over of the match for Punjab. Hazlewood hits a boundary this time over the mid-wicket area. Punjab Kings win the match by 54 runs.
Rabada picks the wicket of Harshal Patel. An outstanding catch by Mayank dismisses him. What a terrific catch!! This is great cricket. RCB are 147/9 after 19 overs.
Rahul Chahar takes the wicket of Hasaranga and an easy catch by Harpreet Brar at deep mid-wicket does the rest. Bangalore is nowhere in the game now. RCB are 137/8 after 17 overs.
That's clever bowling from Arshdeep Singh as he cleans up Karthik. Rajapaksa takes an easy catch and does the rest. That's great bowling!!! RCB are 120/6 after 15 overs.
The woes of Virat Kohli goes on. In the steep, playoff-enhancing chase, Kohli looked the part, glimpses of the famed, fabled, chase-master flickering. But a familiar nemesis snuffed the glowing embers of hope, as he was hurried into a slightly awkward ball to pull. The umpire judged Kohli was not out, that he had not nicked the ball onto his hips, whereupon it lobbed in the air and into the palms of Rahul Chahar at short fine-leg. But Punjab reviewed, somewhat confidently, even as he was wincing in pain, uncharacteristically for a man of his defiance. As it turned out, the snicko showed a clear spike, off the lower part of his gloves. Kohli though was livid, he cussed skywards, perhaps cursing the cricketing gods who seem to conspire against one of the greatest batsmen of his time, or perhaps he was cursing his own judgement when he played that shot. At one point, he looked up and seems to mouth, “what else do you want me to do? F*** me!” Perhaps it was all those feelings, a mix of regret, dejection, bafflement, as he kept whining something into himself as he dragged himself into the dugout. If emotions are a window into the soul of as expressive a cricketer as Kohli, he surely is a devastated man. A singer who has lost his voice in desperate search of a redemption song.
