IPL 2021 Highlights Between Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Straight From Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
A convincing win for Royal Challengers Bangalore, first the bowlers performed and later the batters have done the job. Glenn Maxwell scoring back to back fifties would definitely boost RCB's middle-order confidence in the coming games. The 69-run stand between Maxwell and KS Bharat was the most crucial part of RCB win over RR. With the ball Harshal Patel starred yet again with his three wickets while Yuzvendra Chahal and Shabhaz Ahmed also got two wickets but leg-spinner bowled with best economy. Chahal was also the player of the match.

Finally a good over for RR, just three runs.
