In T20 cricket, 144 runs are not a comfort cushion for bowlers. But it can be when you have a quality bowling attack which is meticulous on the day and a batting side which is willing to gift wickets.
Riyan Parag, with an unbeaten 31-ball 56 (3x4; 4x6), played a defining innings for Rajasthan and returned to exhibit brilliance with his catching on Tuesday night. His efforts were complimented by the bowlers, led by a young Kuldeep Sen (4/20) and seasoned spinner R Ashwin (3/17), who tightened the screws around the fortunes of an erring Royal Challengers Bangalore.
At the MCA stadium in Pune, Sanju Samson's men handed RCB their second consecutive loss, this time by a 29-run margin. Chasing 145 for victory, RCB fell woefully short and were bowled out for 115 in 19.3 overs.
