On April 25, during the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals, Yash Dayal gave a full-pitched ball outside the off stump to Nitish Rana. With the ball bouncing towards his waist, Rana pulls it, and it would have been an easy boundary for Rajasthan. But the English prodigy Jacob Bethell dove and saved the runs in the last moment, with just a few inches left from the boundary.

RR had won the toss and opted to field first, but that decision backfired as RCB posted their highest-ever score against the Royals—205 for 8. The foundation of RCB's innings was laid by vintage Virat Kohli, who crafted a fluent 70 off 42 balls, filled with grace and aggression. Partnering him was Devdutt Padikkal, who hammered a rapid 50 off just 27 deliveries against his former franchise. Their 95-run stand put RR on the back foot early. Useful cameos from Phil Salt (26), Tim David (23), and Jitesh Sharma (20 off 10) propelled RCB past the 200 mark. Rajasthan's chase was explosive at the start, thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s stunning 49 off 19 balls. However, his dismissal by Hazlewood turned the tide. Teenager Vaibhav Suravanshi couldn’t replicate his past brilliance, and Riyan Parag’s 22-run burst was short-lived. Nitish Rana (28) and Shimron Hetmyer (7) failed to accelerate, leaving too much for the lower order. Dhruv Jurel fought hard with a gritty 43 off 34 balls, briefly igniting hopes with a flurry in the 18th over. But Hazlewood’s return saw RR collapse, with Shubham Dube’s run-out sealing their fate. Hazlewood led the RCB bowling charge with 4/33, while Krunal Pandya’s 2/31 and tidy spells from Bhuvneshwar and Dayal ensured the win. Rajat Patidar’s captaincy debut at home ended in celebration, breaking RCB’s Bengaluru drought.
