Top 3 Moments from the MI vs RCB Clash in IPL 2025
RCB’s Batting Blitzkrieg
The crowd at Wankhede was treated to a masterclass in batting as RCB’s top order delivered a stellar performance. Virat Kohli, the evergreen maestro, smashed 67 runs off just 42 balls, adorned with eight boundaries and two towering sixes. While Phil Salt fell early, Devdutt Padikkal’s brisk 37 off 22 balls kept the momentum alive. Rajat Patidar’s explosive 64 off 32 and Jitesh Sharma’s unbeaten 40 off 19 propelled RCB to a formidable total of 221/5, leaving MI with a mountain to climb.
MI’s Bowling Woes
Mumbai Indians’ bowling attack struggled to contain RCB’s relentless onslaught. Hardik Pandya managed to pick up two wickets, but the rest of the bowlers faltered under pressure. Jasprit Bumrah, returning to the field after a hiatus, bowled economically but failed to take a wicket. The lack of breakthroughs and consistency allowed RCB to pile on the runs, setting a daunting target that ultimately proved too steep for MI.
Krunal Pandya’s Heroic Spell
Amid the chaos, Krunal Pandya emerged as a standout performer for RCB, delivering a match-winning spell of 4/45. His ability to strike at crucial junctures and outfox the MI batters was instrumental in securing the win. This stellar performance followed his impressive 3/29 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), further cementing his reputation as a key player in RCB’s campaign.
