RR vs RCB IPL 2022: Royal Challengers Bangalore, the only team to qualify for the playoffs thrice since 2020, were yet again routed in the playoffs. After finally managing to clear the Eliminator in IPL 2022, RCB were thrashed by Rajasthan Royals in the Qualifier 2. Jos Buttler was the star in the second innings and he smashed a thunderous ton to chase down the target without any hiccups.
After an excellent bowling performance in the late middle and death overs, Rajasthan Royals were able to restrict Royal Challengers Bangalore to a below-par total of 157. RR were favourites after the first innings, as RCB had only defended a total of below 160 only 9 times in the IPL history.
Rajasthan openers blasted off in a way that went on to put Bangalore out of the game, as the opening pair of Ishan Kishan and Jos Buttler added 61 runs in just 5 overs while chasing a target of 158. Jaiswal was dismissed on the first delivery of the 6th over. However, Buttler continued the onslaught at the other end.
