It was the eighth over of the Rajasthan Royals' (RR) chase against the Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) when wicket-keeper Anuj Rawat pulled off an outstanding effort to run out Ravichandran Ashwin when they were already in deep trouble.

Karn Sharma bowled the final ball of the eighth over which Shimron Hetmyer played through the off-side and ran as quickly as possible. Mohd Siraj who was at the boundary line, immediately collected the ball and threw it to the keeper Rawat, who took it and dislodged the stumps by sending the ball between his legs.

R Ashwin who tried for two came back when denied a second but was too late to reach the crease as stumps were already cleaned up. This added to the woes of home side as they were seven down for 50 runs.

Batting first, Bangalore posted 171 on the board after Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell brought up their half-centuries and some late blitz from Anuj Rawat helped them wonderfully.

In the end, RCB went home after bowling RR out for just 59 in 10.3 overs as they claimed the victory by 112 runs.

After this game, RCB will next face SunRisers Hyderabad on 18th May whereas Rajasthan's last game will be against Punjab Kings on 19th May.
