The right-arm seamer bowled four overs and gave away just 33 runs and picked the key wicket of Virat Kohli for 70. It was an amazing effort from the 30-year-old on a track which saw RCB post a massive total of 205 runs. For the Royals, the latest loss now means that they have four points from nine games and are eighth in the table. RR could be pushed into the bottom two, as the winners of the game between CSK and SRH on Friday could leapfrog the Royals on points. 

Andy Flower heaps praise on RCB duo

RCB coach Andy Flower was in full praise for Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal. The pair put RCB in a strong position with a 95-run stand for the second wicket in just 51 balls. Both batters have been in terrific form this season and had scored fifties in their previous game against Punjab Kings as well. 

The Indian Express quoted Andy Flower as saying, “In the first three (home) games, I thought our bowlers and fielding unit did outstanding work to keep us in the game as long as they did because all three totals were a bit below par. So watching our guys adapt to the conditions today was really gratifying. 
I was really proud of the way that they batted.”

Andy Flower also added, “Dev was sensational to score 50 off 27 balls like that without ever slogging; I thought that was a genuinely outstanding innings. We say a lot about Virat, but his 70 or 42 balls and that partnership with Dev really gave us a platform on a pitch that wasn’t that easy, I didn’t think. 
I thought that was an above-par total, to be honest. And so that class of thatting and thinking that went into it from those guys, I thought was genuinely outstanding.”
