Off the field, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) stars Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik, and Mohammed Siraj took part in a fun bowling task.
The assignment required the participants to knock down a phone mounted to a stand three times. Karthik and Siraj came close but fell short. Glenn followed them and attempted to bowl three balls at a time, but he was unsuccessful.
Kohli was the last to arrive, and on a lighter note, he raced up to the phone and smacked it immediately without bowling. RCB posted the video to social media with the caption:
“Petition for Virat to bowl in the next game ????✋ @royalchallengersbangalore“
On Sunday, May 14, RCB defeated Rajasthan Royals by an impressive 112-run margin. With the win, they climbed up to fifth place in the standings and kept their playoff chances alive.
“I feel Glenn Maxwell was the most valuable player”- Aakash Chopra hails RCB all-rounder for aggressive 54 vs RR
Aakash Chopra recently reviewed the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on his YouTube channel. He singled out Glenn Maxwell as the top performer for the Bangalore team in the batting department.
Chopra said Maxwell’s knock was the game-changer for his team, propelling them to an above-par total that placed RR under pressure from the start of the chase. He stated,
“I feel Glenn Maxwell was the most valuable player. If that knock had not come, that many runs wouldn’t have been scored, and if that many runs hadn’t been scored, you wouldn’t have won the match.”
“If Maxwell had not played like that, this team wouldn’t have reached there. Of course, Anuj Rawat also scored important runs but in my opinion, the most valuable player of the game was Glenn Maxwell. When he scores runs, he scores very fast.”
He added:
“We, of course, saw Rajasthan absolutely capitulating. We saw them playing ordinary shots and losing five wickets in the powerplay. All that was possible when you became capable of posting an above-par score.”
Royal Challengers Bangalore will play their next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 18 in Hyderabad.
