IPL 2018, RCB v RR: Hits and Misses

#2 Miss: AB de Villiers

The RCB talisman could not fire on the day

The South African batsman has been in good touch of late and has already played two good knocks for them in the tournament. However, he could not step up against Rajasthan Royals after coming on to bat after the fall of the second RCB wicket.

Kohli and de Kock had set up the hosts for a good finish after taking them to 100-1 after 10 overs and de Villiers was expected to capitalize on this foundation in his innings. However, the right-handed batsman could score just 20 off 18 deliveries before returning to the pavilion.

He was dismissed by Shreyas Gopal at a crucial juncture of the match. De Villiers tried to pull the ball over long-leg but ended up with a mishit, which was converted into a terrific catch in the deep by Jaydev Unadkat.
