On Friday, RCB failed to bring their ‘A’ match and was completely outclassed by a rampant Rajasthan team.
Players like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell failed to make any meaningful contribution with the bat and despite half a century of Rajat Patidar, RCB was limited to an under-par 157 for eight in 20 overs.
Fast bowlers Prasidh Krishna and Obed McCoy were the best with the ball for RR, taking three wickets each.
In the chase, Jos Buttler again came to party for RR and scored a sensational century undefeated. He also surpassed the 800 run for the season, a feat only twice before in IPL history.
Buttler went unbeaten on 106 from 60 balls when RR hit the target with seven wickets in hand and 11 balls left.

As RCB goes back to the drawing board and focuses on further improvements next season, RR will be keeping an eye on the grand prize.
In the IPL 2022 final on Sunday, Rajasthan will face the Gujarat Titans of Hardik Pandya, who were the team to beat this season.
