RCB stole an easy, dominant win of 9 wickets and continued their fine away form in Jaipur. With both teams fumbling in the field, Royal Challengers Bengaluru made the hosts pay with a brutal chase. Virat Kohli and Phil Salt delivered twin masterclasses with the bat, tearing apart a clueless Rajasthan Royals bowling unit and sealing the win with 15 balls to spare. Put into bat, Rajasthan posted 173/4 — a total that looked decent on paper but lacked bite, especially given RCB's aggressive top order. Yashasvi Jaiswal's fluent 75 off 47 was the lone bright spark. The rest faltered — Sanju Samson crawled to 15, and Hetmyer’s innings was forgettable. Dhruv Jurel, getting a life off Kohli, chipped in with a late unbeaten 35, but RR’s innings lacked finishing firepower. RCB bowlers — Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya, and Yash Dayal — kept things in check, despite a few expensive overs. The real damage, however, came after the break.

Phil Salt opened like a man possessed — smashing 65 off just 33 balls. The Englishman danced down the track, swept spinners into the stands, and made RR’s bowlers look pedestrian. The tired legs leaked a lot of runs, let the ball pass, and dropped a healthy number of easy catches, including one that gave Kohli a life off Riyan Parag. His partnership with Kohli was electric — the duo added 92 runs in under 9 overs before Salt finally holed out trying to go big once again. Kohli, on the other hand, played the classic anchor role. His unbeaten 62 off 45 oozed maturity and control. Picking gaps, rotating strike, and punishing bad balls, he didn’t let the momentum drop for a second. Devdutt Padikkal joined the party late with a breezy 40* off 28, putting the finishing touches on a clinical chase. The Royals’ bowling fell apart — not one looked threatening. Their fielding, much like RCB’s in the first half, was clumsy and unalert. Misfields, dropped chances, and lack of energy painted the picture of a team low on confidence as they suffered a massive defeat!
