The ongoing 39th match between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore brought the best out of Bangalore bowlers. Coming from an embarrassing defeat against Hyderabad, Bangalore bowlers stepped up and posed a formidable challenge to Rajasthan batters and inflicted a massive batting collapse. Such was lethal bowling from Bangalore that the orange cap holder, who has been in incredible form, could not reach double-digit figures in the game and got out after adding 8-runs in 9 balls.

While Rajasthan batters struggled to spend time on the crease and steady the innings, young Riyan Parag, who was amidst heavy scrutiny for his place in the squad, emerged as a saviour for the side. Parag held the fort from one side and kept adding runs on board while the wicket kept falling from one end.

Riyan hit a 31-ball half-century in the match with a six off Harshal Patel in 20th over and even ended the innings with a maximum to post a competitive 144 on board. Ryan's knock attracted a lot of reactions from cricket fans.
