RCB Completes Fastest 200-Plus Run-Chase in IPL History
In a nail-biting match on Sunday, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pulled off an incredible feat against Gujarat Titans (GT)! They chased down a massive target of 201 runs in just 16 overs, setting a new record for the fastest successful chase of over 200 runs in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
This victory surpassed the previous record of 16.3 overs held by Mumbai Indians (MI) against RCB itself last year. The architect of this win was the explosive batsman Will Jacks. The 25-year-old Englishman smashed a blistering century in just 41 balls, hitting a whopping 10 sixes and 5 fours in his knock. This knock stands as the fifth fastest century in IPL history!
While Jacks stole the show with his power-hitting, credit also goes to the experienced Virat Kohli. Even though Jacks got the spotlight with his hundred, many believe it was Kohli’s smart batting that set the stage for a dominant win.
Kohli played a supporting role, scoring an unbeaten 70 runs off 40 balls, ensuring RCB never lost control of the chase. This win showcased Kohli’s expertise in chasing targets, not just in One Day Internationals (ODIs) but also in the T20 format.
With this win, RCB has not only secured two crucial points but also improved their net run rate significantly. This record-breaking chase will surely be remembered as a historic moment in the IPL!
