IPL 2022 RCB vs KKR Highlights: Hasaranga shines in tense 3 wkt win for RCB

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders: 129 was not easy to get for RCB. It required contributions from Willey, Rutherford, Shahbaz, and Dinesh Karthik to overpower Southee and Umesh

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 128 all out after 18.5 overs, First innings done

 

Haha...That was really funny in the retrospect but not for the fielder or the bowler as a cut shot from Umesh Yadav beat the fielder with the spin and went for four past deep-point and past the fielder running in from third-man

 

Wicket!! But Akash Deep won't be disappointed much as on the very next ball, he uproots the stumps of Umesh Yadav and the entire KKR team is all out for just 128. That has been a very bad show from KKR and if it was not for the 27 runs stand for the last wicket, the scenes might have been worse.

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 118-9 after 18 overs, Varun vrooom

 

Four!! Edge and four. Nothing much, it was a great length ball on which Varun Chakravarthy got an edge and it went past the wicket-keeper for a four

 

Four!! Now that's well played as the spinner has cut it past Point and fine third-man for a four 

 

9:08 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 110-9 after 17 overs, Review denied

 

In an attempt to get the last wicket, the RCB team took a review of a catch which was a clear bump. I mean it is great that you want the last wicket but such desperation, much wow 

 

Four!! That was hit heavily by Umesh Yadav as he slapped the ball past fine leg for valuable four runs

 

Shout for LBW from Siraj but the umpire says not out and even as he pleads for a review, captain Faf du Plessis decides against it and KKR prevail

Wicket!! In the air and another one bites the dust as Hasaranga picks his fourth wicket and leapfrogs others in the race of the Purple Cap here. It was flighted and a googly and in an attempt to hit a six, Southee hit it in the air and it was caught easily by du Plessis at deep-mid-wicket. KKR are now nine down for 101 at the end of the 15th over only.

8:49 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 99-8 after 13.5 overs, Russell goes too

 

Russell has decided that he will consume most of the strike and he is now refusing the singles which is off because six overs remain that way KKR will be cutting down its own chances 

 

Wicket!! Four dot balls in this over as the [pressure mounts on Russell and as a result of that pressure, he goes for an extravagant cut outside off and gets an edge and Hasrhal has his man. KKR now lose Russell who goes for 25 c Karthik b Patel

8:44 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 99-7 after 13 overs, Russell-Mania on display

 

Bang Bang Bang!! that's what Andre Russell has done in this over. The first ball he hit for a six over mid-wicket, the second ball it was wide outside off by the bowler, and on the third ball, he hit for two runs to extra cover and the fourth one out of the ground over long-off. 

 

Now only one run from the last two balls and Rusell will have the strike for the next over

8:37 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 83-7 after 11.4 overs, Harshal gets Billings

 

Wicket!! Harshal Patel was hard to get away and after playing three dot balls, Sam Billings was itching to go all he managed to do was get the top edge of his bat and the ball went straight to  Virat Kohli at long-on and KKr are now 7 down for only 83 and now its getting ugly for them

8:32 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 83-6 after 11 overs, Russell flexing his muscle

 

On a hat-trick and Wanindu Hasaranga wasn't even given a slip. Not well done Faf, come on!!

 

And that Russell is on the strike, Hasaranga has been given the slips 

 

Six!! But that would not matter one bit as Russell has his muscle-flexing as he goes down on one knee and reads the googly and goes with the turn and hits a gigantic 94 Meter six over the mid-wicket boundary 

8:29 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 76-6 after 10 overs, 400th T20 for Russell

 

Great fielding from Harshal Patel as this was played fine by Sam Billings and went finer off the third-man fielder and Harshal Patel dived well and stopped a certain boundary to save two runs 

 

Sharp bouncer from Siraj to Russell and two byes to the total 

 

Four!! Russell Muscle it is now as he gets the width and powers this past the sweeper cover for four. This is the 400th T20 match for  Andre Russell and it was only fair that he started his scoring with a four 

8:24 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 67-6 after 09 overs, Jackson goes for a duck

8:21 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 67-5 after 8.5 overs, Hasaranga gets Narine

 

Six!! That's how you do it. Sam Billings made Hasaranga change his length after he chose to reverse seep the Sri Lankan on the first ball and on the second he was given a gift of a full toss and Billings accepted it by hitting it for a six

 

In the air and just away from HAsaranga in his followthrough. Quite a comeback this is from the Sri Lankan after being hit for a six on the second ball 

 

Wicket !! And Hasaranga gets his man finally and half the Knight Riders are back in the pavilion now. It was slightly short of good length and it was a googly alright, Instead of going with the turn, he went to slog it against the turn and got a leading edge which was gobbled up by Aksh Deep at Point and Narine goes for 12 c Akash Deep b Hasaranga
