RCB vs Punjab Kings match turning point.
New Delhi. Shreyas Iyer missed out on making history under his captaincy. In the IPL final, RCB defeated Punjab Kings by 6 runs and won the trophy for the first time. Young batsmen Priyansh Arya and Prabhasimran Singh gave Punjab a good start, but the cheap dismissal of captain Shreyas Aiyra proved to be the matching point of the match. Chasing the target of 191 runs, the Punjab team had scored 72 runs for 2 wickets in 8.3 overs, after which the team came under pressure and continued to lose wickets. As a result, Punjab suffered defeat in the final played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. If Shreyas Iyer had won this final, he would have become the first captain who made two different teams champions, but this could not happen.
In the final played on the batting helpful pitch, RCB did not give up the combination of pressure. And won only after winning. RCB, batting first in the noise of ‘Kohli Kohli’ and ‘RCB RCB’ on the field, scored 190 runs for nine wickets in which Kohli contributed 43 runs in 35 balls. The score of 190 runs was not as big but the bowlers led by Krunal Pandya also performed brilliantly. Pandya took two wickets for 17 runs in four overs. By the way, the decisive moment of the match was the wicket of Punjab captain Shreyas Iyer by Romio Shepherd.
Punjab needed 29 runs in the last over and Josh Hazlewood decided to win by putting a second dot ball. For Punjab, no batsman could run apart from Shashank Singh (61 off 30 balls). Iyer, who came after playing a brilliant innings in the second qualifier, was dismissed for a run. Josh Iglis scored 39 off 23 balls but Pandya caught him on long in the 13th over. After this, the noise of ‘RCB RCB’ increased on every dot ball.
