“Freaking supremacy”- Dinesh Karthik’s breathtaking knock saves RCB’s innings, Twitter lauds ‘the best finisher’

Royal Challengers Bangalore has set a target of 189/5 to Delhi Capitals in the second match of Saturday, April 16.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bowl first. RCB openers didn’t score much as RCB skipper Faf du Plessis gave his wicket to Khaleel Ahmed. Once again Virat Kohli got dismissed for a paltry 12 runs off 14 balls. He played it down to the point and looked for a run. But Glenn Maxwell had responded to run initially but stopped and send back Kohli but a direct hit from Lalit Yadav gave a big blow to RCB.

With the help of Glenn Maxwell, who completed his half-century and played a knock of 55 runs off 34 balls, with 7 fours and 2 sixes and a strike rate of 161.76, helped RCB restore their innings. But soon, in the 11th over, Kuldeep Yadav tossed the ball up and landed the ball full around middle and leg. Maxwell had gone for a big hit but the ball took the bottom half of the bat and the ball went straight to Lalit Yadav at long on. And Bangalore, at Maxwell’s wicket, was 92 for 5.

Look at how Twitter reacted to RCB’s innings:

RCB’s middle order roared again as Dinesh Karthik pulled things back in Bangalore’s favor. He hit his half-century, scoring 66 runs off 34 balls with 5 fours and 5 sixes. Shahbaz Ahmed also powered Bangalore to a competitive total.

Glenn Maxwell said that it has started okay for him but there is still plenty of work to do. He added that the way they started, losing two quick wickets, they tried to review things and he was lucky to target Kuldeep Yadav towards the shorter boundary. Maxwell then praised Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed for their partnership.
