The crowd at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium witnessed a heartbreaking collapse by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a rain-shortened 14-over contest. They were struggling at 42/7 before Tim David’s power-hitting rescued them to a competitive score of 95/9. The misfortune started with Arshdeep Singh dismissing Phil Salt and Virat Kohli early on. Liam Livingstone’s poor form continued as he top-edged a reckless shot. Jitesh Sharma, Krunal Pandya, and others fell quickly to the opposition bowlers. Yuzvendra Chahal and Marco Jansen wreaked havoc in the middle overs, picking up crucial wickets. Tim David’s brilliant hitting in the end salvaged RCB’s innings, reaching his first IPL fifty in just 26 balls. Despite their struggles at home, RCB sits third on the table in IPL 2025 with four wins but remains winless at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The fans were left in disbelief by the team’s collapse but were relieved by David’s heroics in the end.
