The England’s striker struck fifty fifty-balls and finished undefeated on 56 out of 27 balls with 6 four and 3 six, showing no mercy on a demoralized bowling pbks attack. While Virat Kohli fell early for 12 and Mayank Agarwal Stroke with a quick 19, the result was never in doubt. Rajat Patidarleading the side, calmly supported the salt at the other end.

It will be the biggest Ponting and Shreyas test.
A defeat like this can be intimidating, but they move away from a place that they have never had a good record.
How they assembled pieces from here, it will be worth watching.
RCB can rest, wait, once again? 🤔# IPL2025
