RR vs RCB Highlights, IPL 2021: Maxwell stars as Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets

Glenn Maxwell stars as Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets.

FOUR! Glenn Maxwell brings up his half century in 30 balls. RCB need one more run to win.

SIX! Chris Morris has bowled a length delivery and Maxwell has hammered it for the maximum.

GONE! Mustafizur strikes again, as KS Bharat has pulled one to a fielder in the deep, and he was dismissed for 44. RCB 127/3 in 16 overs

FOUR! Maxwell hits over the covers to get another boundary. Easiest shots you can play – poor line from Sakariya. Rightly punished.

SIX! KS Bharat has absolutely smashed Morris for a monster six. There is no stopping that one!

FOUR! Wide outside off stump and Maxwell has hammered it for a welcome boundary to end the 11th over.

10 overs are gone, and Royal Challengers Bangalore are 79/2. 71 needed off 60. All is evenly balanced as of now.

Glenn Maxwell's big test is here. He would cement his place in RCB camp next year if he can finish off the chase. He has to anchor the innings now.

DIRECT HIT! Riyan Parag has managed to get a direct hit as Kohli tried to steal a single and he has got the danger man. RCB 58/2

The powerplay overs are up. RCB reach 54/1 at end of powerplay. Mustafizur got the big wicket of Paddikal but Kohli will be key in chase now.

GONE! Devdutt Padikkal tricked by a slow one from Mustafizur. Played right across. He missed it completely. RCB 48/1

FOUR! Short from Mustafizur and Padikkal has hammered it for another boundary. RCB openers are off to flying start here.

DROPPED! Devdutt Paddikal edged a ball to Samson but RR skipper has let it go. Very ordinary effort. RCB 29/0

Over the in-field goes Kohli and that's yet another boundary for RCB and their captain. Plays it in the air but times the ball really well to send it to the boundary. RCB scoring at 13 an over after the first two.

And now Padikkal gets in the groove. Half-volley little wide of off-stump and the cover drive is out. Through the gap, beats the fielder and RCB are off to a rollicking start.

Make that three. Kohli has begun this run chase for RCB in style, cracking 3 boundaries in the very first over. It was drifting down legside and Kohli does the rest. Sensational stuff.  

Second boundary of the over as Virat Kohli brings out the pull shot. Plays it off the front foot. Connects it well, times it well and it almost carries the distance. A couple of boundaries for RCB to kick things off

The RCB captain was lucky as the ball takes the edge and flies over the keeper for a four. First boundary of the innings and for Kohli.

Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal come out to begin RCB's 150-run chase. Rajasthan Royals start the attack with Chris Morris.
