With this victory, RCB climbed to the top of the points table and moved one step ahead in the playoff race. On the other side, Mumbai Indians were eliminated from the playoffs.
RCB is moving towards the trophy and for this great victory, there were two main players. It was a team game and the whole team played well. They got this great victory but especially two players played a huge role.
The first one was Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who took great wickets and eliminated four players, who were major players. He also hit a great six, or I will say the greatest six or match-winning six that helped them to win.
At last, we were witnessing three balls left and the second last ball was already out and only Bhuvneshwar Kumar was there. It was very difficult to hit a six in the remaining three balls pressure. The team needed to hit 9 or 10 runs out of 3 balls and only Bhuvneshwar Kumar was left. It was very difficult and in this situation, Bhuvneshwar Kumar played well and hit a six and helped the team to win.
But how can we forget the crucial match-winning innings by Krunal Pandya? Yesterday he was injured during the match and he made 73 runs out of 46 balls. This was an important knock he gave the team because Kohli was already out for a golden duck and other players were also not performing well.
We can say that RCB was almost losing the match if Krunal Pandya had not played that match-winning innings. During the match, we saw Krunal Pandya struggling after an injury. He even pushed and lay down on the ground and the pain was visible on the camera. Still he managed to play the match because it was an important match for RCB and this dedication paid off as RCB won.
They are not only in the playoffs but also at the top of the points table of IPL 2026 and they are very near to the trophy.
Recently an Instagram story shared by Krunal Pandya which genuinely shocked RCB fans because he showed his scar mark on his stomach during yesterday’s match and this is a huge injury. We can see on his stomach and with this injury he played that 73 runs innings and helped the team to win the match.
There is a lot of appreciation for this dedicated player and after sharing this story on Instagram, this story was officially shared by the official account of Krunal Pandya on Instagram.
