When the team is sweating on the field for victory and is struggling to save every run, then with the help of the right understanding, experience, and luck connection, you can turn a lost game into a win. Something similar happened in Chinnaswamy Stadium where a clever move of a Chiku completely changed the course of the match.

Chasing the target of 206 runs, Rajasthan Royals were in a very strong position after scoring 132 runs for 3 wickets in 13 overs, when the camera went to Virat Kohli who was standing at long off. Virat made such a gesture to captain Rajat Patidar after which Rajasthan's innings completely collapsed. This was Virat's master stroke which gave the team its first victory on Bangalore's ground this season.
Virat's gesture became the turning point.
The game was slipping out of hand and Royal Challengers Bangalore was facing the threat of another defeat in their home ground, then Virat, who played an innings of 70 runs, did something that changed the course of the match. After 13 overs, Virat told captain Rajat Patidar from the boundary to change the ball because there was no movement in the ball due to dew. Virat told Rajat that the changed ball would grip so bring Krunal Pandya to bowl. The ball was changed and from here the match also changed for Rajasthan. Krunal opened the door to victory by dismissing Nitish Rana and Josh Hazlewood did the job of locking it later. After changing the ball, Rajasthan was able to score only 62 runs in 7 overs and their 6 wickets fell.

Hazlewood's uproar
Man of the match Hazlewood contributed significantly in giving victory to Royal Challengers Bangalore by bowling passionately. In the first spell, Hazlewood gave a big blow to Rajasthan by dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal because Jaiswal was batting brilliantly at that time. When the match got stuck in the last over, the captain again handed the ball to Hazelwood and this bowler dismissed Hetmyer in the 17th over and broke the back of Rajasthan by dismissing Dhruv Jurel and Archer in the 19th over. Hazelwood took 4 wickets for 33 runs in 4 overs and also played an important role in taking Bangalore to the top 4. Hazelwood has taken 16 wickets in 9 matches.
