In a rather unexpected occurrence, Rajasthan Royals were dominated by Royal Challengers Bangalore at their home ground, Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium, on Sunday 14 May.
Following an impressive display against Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan's star-studded batting unit were bowled for a paltry score of 59 runs. This is also the second occasion of Bangalore bowling out the Royals to a total under 60, subsequently securing. sixth victory of the season.
After deciding to bat first, Bangalore set a target of 172 runs, which Rajasthan could not even get close to. Both openers, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler were dismissed for ducks, followed by a middle-order capitulation.
The highest score by any Rajasthan batter was 35, which were accumulated by Shimron Hetmyer. However, the Caribbean striker could not prevent what was a humbling defeat for his team.
