Ajinkya Rahane's unbeaten century proved to be more than enough for Rajasthan Royals as they defeated a stunned Royal Challengers Bangalore by a massive 59 runs at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. Chasing 196 to win, Bangalore were never in the chase despite a frenetic start and the match eventually turned into a one-sided affair after Virat Kohli's dismissal half-way through the innings.
Rahane's merciless approach was best illustrated in the 14th over, which produced six fours. He drove Aravind forcefully down the ground off the first two balls, scooped the third to fine leg, pulled the fourth to midwicket, drove the fifth past cover and delicately dabbed the six to third man. Aravind varied his pace and length, AB de Villiers came up to the stumps but nothing deterred Rahane.
Rahane Made 103 not out on 60 balls that include 12x4 and 6x6
