#2 Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Rajasthan Royals, 2015(Match abandoned due to rain)

This was the match where RCB's batting proved that even if their top order fails, the middle order is strong enough to win matches on their own. But at the end, Rain Gods had other ideas to play spoilsport.
The openers were dismissed early in the game after putting to bat first. The fans were worried until AB de Villiers steadied the ship with his knock of 57(45). But, the star of the day was Sarfaraz Khan. IPL’s youngest cricketer, Sarfaraz Khan showed glimpses of his potential against RR when RCB, who had their backs against the walls, staged a good comeback. The youngster scored 45 runs at an astounding strike rate of 214.29 and showed everybody exactly why he was considered one of the brightest talents in Indian cricket at the time.
Skipper Virat Kohli couldn’t stop himself from bowing down and acknowledging his entertaining knock. Sarfaraz Khan made it off the field with a broad smile on his face, getting the back pats and friendly knocks on his helmets from his fellow teammates.
