IPL 2019: Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore- Player Ratings

Yet to win a game in IPL 2019, both Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore faced off against each other at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Rajasthan Royals skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Rajasthan Royals bowlers justified their skipper's decision to bowl first by restricting a star studded Royal Challengers Bangalore batting line up to a modest score of 158/4 in their allotted 20 overs.

Defending 159, the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowlers tried their best but the target of 159 was never going to be enough on a flat batting track as Rajasthan Royals romped home in 19.5 overs to condemn Royal Challengers Bangalore to their 4th consecutive loss in IPL 2019.

With the match done and dusted, let's see how the players from both sides fared in these encounter.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Parthiv Patel was RCB's top scorer

Parthiv was RCB's best batsman in today's game as he scored a superb 67 runs knock of just 41 balls and was dismissed by Jofra Archer.

Virat Kohli- 3/10

Kohli struggled for timing with the bat and played a painful innings of 23 runs from 25 balls before being undone by a googly from Shreyas Gopal.

AB De Villers - 1/10

ABD was one of the three victims of Shreyas Gopal as he offered a tame return catch to be dismissed for just 13 runs.

Marcus Stoinis- 4/10

Mooen Ali- 5/10

Mooen Ali provided the finishing touches to Royal Challengers Bangalore innings by scoring a quickfire 18 runs off just 9 balls. However, Mooen had a poor day while fielding as his only over was smashed for 14 runs by Rajasthan Royals batsmen and also dropped a simple catch of Rahul Tripathi.

The youngster was a mere spectator on the field and did not get a chance to bat.

Rahul Tripathi continued his good form from the previous game against Chennai Super Kings and scored a quickfire 34 runs off 23 balls to finish the match for Rajasthan Royals.
