IPL 2018: Match 48, KXIP vs RCB – Royal Challengers Bangalore Players’ Ratings

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bagged two crucial points to stay alive in the tournament, as they beat Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by ten wickets at the Holkar Stadium, Indore.

Meanwhile, Bangalore put to rest all the speculations regarding their bowling attack. The bowlers did a fantastic job to restrict an able Punjab line-up. Punjab got off to a flier, courtesy KL Rahul (21). However, since his departure, it was a landslide, as Bangalore bowlers gave their best performance so far in this tournament.

Led by Umesh Yadav (three for 23) all the bowlers chipped in with crucial contributions, as they contained Punjab to 88 runs. In reply, it was a cake walk for the Bangalore batsmen. The opening duo of Parthiv Patel (40*) and Virat Kohli (48*) did the job for the team.

As a result, Bangalore jumps to ten points from 12 games and will stay in contention for the playoffs.

Here is the players rating:

The all-rounder is already making his inclusion worth in the playing XI. After having a good outing in the last game, Moeen backed it up with a superb bowling performance. He returned with one for 13 in his 2.1 overs. However, he will look to put some runs under his belt.

Virat Kohli (c): (8.5/10)

AB de Villiers has been the saviour time and again for RCB. He had won many matches for the franchise and had been in red-hot form in this tournament.

Mandeep Singh: (0/10)

Mandeep Singh had no role to play in this game, as the opening pair saw the team through.

However, he had chipped in with useful contributions in the middle-order and will look to continue doing so.

Sarfaraz Khan: (0/10)

The young Sarfaraz Khan had no role to play in his game, as the top-order did the job for them. However, he has had a poor tournament and will look to make amends for it.

Colin de Grandhomme: (6.5/10)

The New Zealand all-rounder gained some confidence bowling a couple of good overs. Grandhomme returned with one for eight in his two overs.

However, he will be keen to prove his batting skills in the upcoming games.

Tim Southee: (4/10)

The experienced fast bowler from New Zealand had a poor day in business. He gave away 19 runs from his two overs. However, Southee is capable enough to storm back to form quickly.

Umesh Yadav: (8/10)

Umesh Yadav had his best game so far in this edition of the league. He was brilliant with the new ball removing both the openers. He will have to carry this form if Bangalore wants to give them any chance of qualifying.

Mohammad Siraj showed some hint of a return to form after having a poor season so far. The young seamer returned with one for 17 in his three overs. Meanwhile, he will be desperate to continue this run in the next game.
