Anuj Rawat impressed everyone with an impressive streak to sack Prithvi Shaw cheaply during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals in Bangalore on Saturday. Prithvi sent the ball from Mohammed Siraj into the cover area, but Rawat was able to neatly catch the ball with a near-perfect dash to his right. With one stump to aim, he got into a perfect position and was able to complete a direct hit as Shaw was far out of his fold. The RCB team erupted in celebration as Kohli’s display of joy went viral on social media.

Kuldip Yadav led the attack in the middle of the over as Delhi Capitals spinners capped the Royal Challengers Bangalore to 174 for six. In pursuit of their first ever tournament win, the last-placed DCs ran into trouble after putting RCB in the bat at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

RCB put it all on display as Virat Kohli (50 of 34 balls) hit his third 50 of the tournament and Glenn Maxwell (24 of 14 balls; 3×6) hit a six hit streak.
But DC’s spin trio of Kuldip (4-1-23-2), Aksar Patel (3-0-25-1) and Lalit Yadav (4-0-29-1) captured momentum mid-over.
Mitchell Marsh (2/18 after two overs), who returned to the team after his marriage, also made significant contributions by providing wickets to RCB captain Faf Du Plessis and Mahipal Lomrore.
The famed duo Cohli-du Plessis started with no fuss, scoring 33 points over four overs.
Kohli beat Henrich Nortier with a perfect boundary while the South African raised with a pair of fours. Du Plessis went out to Axar for the first six matches after the spin was introduced in the fourth over. With Kohli in the box, RCB looked 89/1 in her comfort zone.
But then RCB found themselves in the backyard and fell to 132/6 after Kuldip grabbed the wickets of Maxwell and Dinesh Kartik (0) after consecutive deliveries.
The double wicket girls’ game was preceded by Aksar Patel’s dismissal of Harshal Patel as DC secured a team hat-trick that turned the tables on the 15th over.
Patel’s sacking was odd as wicket-keeper Abhishek Porel filed an appeal against LBW and the review showed a slight rebound as the batter was eventually fired.
It was Lalit Yadav who fired Kohli with a big throw when the star Indian slugger died after failing to cross the midwicket line.
Maxwell took the stage with aggressive intent and fired up Yadav for a couple of sixes for the same thing to make it all work right away.
Maxwell was in no mood to give up and the scoring nearly hit 10 over over as Warner caught the ball back to sack his Australian teammate.
In the next ball, Karthik came out on a golden duck and it was DC and ran out of nowhere.
