Royal Challengers Bangalore has faced defeat in the eliminator match against Rajasthan Royals. With this defeat, RCB is out of the trophy race. Bangalore has made a comeback after many setbacks this season and has qualified for the playoffs by winning 6 consecutive matches. Now RCB has lost to Rajasthan in the eliminator match. With this defeat, the dreams of crores of RCB fans have been shattered.
Bowlers made a comeback
In the first innings of RCB, they could score only 172 runs. At this time it seemed that the team would lose easily to Rajasthan Royals. Despite the expectation of win or loss in the match, Bangalore had to face defeat. After RCB's defeat, captain Faf du Plessis gave the reason and said that the team lost due to the impact player rule. Faf said that if this rule was not there, this score would have been enough. But due to this rule, this target could be chased.
What is the impact player rule?
According to the impact player rule in IPL, both teams have to name 5-5 substitute players apart from the playing eleven. One of these five has been fielded as an impact player. An impact player does both batting and bowling. Captain Faf said that this season it has been realized that it is not easy to cross the score from the impact player rule. I am proud of the team. Many teams win 1 match out of 9 and lose 1, but it is good to come back and win 6 matches in a row at this time.
