Shreyas Iyer put Royal Challengers Bangalore to bat first, who lost opener, Josh Philippe, for cheap. Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal provided some stability to RCB innings with the latter scoring a half-century. However, Bangalore wasn’t able to change gears as, despite a late cameo from AB de Villiers, RCB managed a score of 152/7.

Delhi Capitals made easy work of the chase as riding on the fifties from Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer’s team got over the line. However, despite the defeat, Royal Challengers Bangalore managed to book a place in the playoffs due to a better run rate and due to which fans trolled Virat Kohli and his team with funny memes and jokes on social media.

Delhi Capitals finished second and will now face Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 1 while Royal Challengers Bangalore have confirmed themselves in a top-four finish. Kolkata Knight Riders are currently the other team in the playoff spot, but it could change if Sunrisers Hyderabad manage to beat record champions MI in their game tomorrow.
