5 most memorable performances for RCB in IPL history

Dinesh Karthik 30*(8) vs SRH, 2022

Glenn Maxwell chose to play his strokes right away after the Faf-Patidar partnership put up the base. It was a difficult wicket to bat on, though. After Maxwell was out for 33 off 24 balls in the 19th over, Dinesh Karthik came in to bat.

His first boundary came from a wide delivery from Kartik Tyagi, which he slammed over midwicket. He then went on the inexperienced Fazalhaq Farooqi in the last over, hammering him for three consecutive sixes and four of the final four deliveries of the innings. RCB had a strong lead going into the second inning. They easily defeated the opposition by a score of 67 runs.

RCB batters have entertained fans all over the world with breathtaking batting displays. Gayle, ABD, and Virat have given countless memories to spectators and fans around the world. The batting for RCB was never short of fireworks and every game was a run feast. Let us have a look at the top 5 performances from RCB batters in the IPL:

Chris Gayle 175* (66) vs PWI, 2013

Chris Gayle pounded the three-figure total in just 30 balls, setting the record for the fastest hundred in T20 cricket. Gayle continued to play and eventually reached the highest IPL score of 175 not out in 66 balls.

Gayle attacked each and every bowler on the now-defunct Pune Warriors team at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru while in an imperious six-hitting mood. The powerful West Indian player contributed to RCB scoring a record total of 263 for 5 in 20 overs by smashing 13 boundaries and 17 sixes. Gayle and Tilakaratne Dilshan put up 167 runs for the first wicket, but the Sri Lankan batsman only scored 33 runs throughout that alliance.

AB De Villiers 133* (59) vs MI , 2015

In the 2015 edition of IPL, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians clashed in an epic encounter. RCB won the toss and chose to bat first. Following Chris Gayle's early wicket, Kohli and AB De Villiers wreaked havoc in the Wankhede Stadium, putting on a 229-run partnership! ABD scored an unbeaten 133 off 59 balls, his best T20 score, with eleven fours and four sixes! RCB won the match by 39 runs due to the memorable partnership.

Virat Kohli 113(50) vs KXIP in 2015

 Virat Kohli produced an innings of a lifetime that too with a stitched hand.  In that match, he brilliantly struck 113 runs in just 50 deliveries with a devastating strike rate of 215 in a 15-over game. In the first six overs of the powerplay, Virat & Chris Gayle destroyed the intentions of the leading Kings, who had won the toss and chosen to bowl first. This comfortably set the foundation for a massive mountain of runs.

Rajat Patidar 112* (54) vs LSG, 2022 Eliminator

To win the IPL 2022 Eliminator for RCB against Lucknow Super Giants at the crowded Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday, the 28-year-old Indore native Patidar hit a 54-ball 112 not out. On his way to reaching 100 runs, Patidar was dropped three times in one day.

As RCB chose to bat first, they got off to a terrible start when skipper Faf du Plessis was killed by rookie LSG bowler Mohsin Khan in the fifth ball of the game. At No. 3, Patidar and Virat Kohli put up a 66-run partnership to calm the ship.

Dinesh Karthik 30*(8) vs SRH, 2022

Glenn Maxwell chose to play his strokes right away after the Faf-Patidar partnership put up the base. It was a difficult wicket to bat on, though. After Maxwell was out for 33 off 24 balls in the 19th over, Dinesh Karthik came in to bat.
