IPL 2022: RR vs RCB | Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz pull off a heist against the Royals
Chasing the target of Royals’ 169 for three, Royal Challengers Bangalore was staring at defeat after losing the top five wickets in the space of 32 runs. What followed was a Karthik-inspired 67-run stand off 32 balls with left-handed Shahbaz Ahmed and turned the match on its head.
Karthik’s unbeaten 23-ball 44 and Shahbaz’s 26-ball 45 set up Royal Challengers’ second straight win and Royals’ first loss in three games. Between them, these batters struck four sixes and 11 fours to leave Royals bleeding.
Coming in at 87 for five, after Navdeep Saini took a stunning catch to send back Sherfane Rutherford, Karthik chose Ravichandran Ashwin for special treatment, hitting him for three fours and a six in a 21-run over and never looked back.
