RCB vs RR: In the 39th match of the IPL 2022, Rajasthan Royals posted a target of 145 against Royal Challengers Bangalore, and RCB yet again were off to a disastrous start. Virat Kohli opened the innings and was dismissed in the second over after scoring mere 9 runs. The biggest setbacks Royal Challengers received were dealt with when Kuldeep Sen came on to bat. 

In the past few matches, Rajasthan Royals had excluded Kuldeep Sen from their playing XI. However, when he came onto bowl his first over in the match, rattled the RCB dugout and batters on the field. Kuldeep gave away just 1 run in this over and dismissed Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell in consecutive deliveries. 

Kuldeep Sen was brought into the attack in the 7th over of the RCB innings and dismissed Faf du Plessis on the third delivery, as the skipper sent the ball straight to Jos Buttler. On the very next delivery, Kuldeep baffled Glenn Maxwell with his pace as the ball took the batter's edge and Devdut Padikkal completed a comfortable catch in the slips.

As soon as these two batters were dismissed the whole RCB dugout was seen disappointed as Rajasthan Royals had made a strong comeback in the match after posting a low target. Royal Challengers Bangalore's saviour this year, wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik was also dismissed unfortunately via runout and RCB were completely tackled back on the backfoot in the match.
