RCB Hit Back At Murali Kartik With A “Treasure” Tweet For Yash Dayal – In a thrilling match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings, Virat Kohli led RCB’s charge with a blazing start in the powerplay, scoring 35 off 21 balls despite an early scare. With RCB at 50/2 after six overs, the chase of 177 seemed within reach. However, Kohli found little support from his teammates against the bowling onslaught of Kagiso Rabada and Harpreet Brar in the middle overs.

Kohli’s departure after a valiant 77 off 49 balls momentarily silenced the stadium. Yet, Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror turned the tide with a fantastic partnership, steering RCB back into contention. Karthik’s unbeaten 28 off 10 balls, including the winning runs, and Lomror’s quickfire 16 off eight balls sealed the victory for Bengaluru in a nail-biting finish.

Earlier, Punjab Kings posted 176/6, thanks to Shashank Singh’s explosive 20-run cameo in the final over. Despite Yash Dayal’s and Mohammed Siraj’s impressive bowling performances for RCB, Punjab struggled to accelerate their innings. RCB captain Faf du Plessis’ decision to bowl first paid off as they managed to restrict Punjab Kings’ batsmen. With Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone failing to make significant contributions, Shikhar Dhawan’s 44 off 37 stood out in Punjab’s innings.

Former cricketer turned pundit Murali Kartik got himself into trouble during Monday night’s Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). Cricket fans were divided by Kartik’s statement after RCB’s bowler Yash Dayal displayed an outstanding performance. During the Powerplay, Dayal’s spectacular stats of 4 for 2 drew much notice. Fans were not pleased with Kartik’s comment, “Someone’s trash is someone’s treasure.”

Rinku Singh of the Kolkata Knight Riders hit five sixes in one over last season. Due to the confidence blow Dayal spent some time on the bench before making a comeback with RCB this season. The remark made by Kartik during the live coverage caused a stir online. Dayal was quickly defended by RCB, who tweeted, “He’s treasure,” highlighting Dayal’s worth.
