Anuj Rawat leaves Ashwin shocked as he displays Dhoni-like wicket-keeping skills
Royal Challengers Bangalore posted a target of 171 runs in their match against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday in the 2023 Indian Premier League season. It was a shocking collapse from the batting order of the Royals, as both Yashasvi and Jos Buttler lost their wickets without scoring runs, while Captain Sanju Samson lost his wicket after scoring two runs.
Joe Root, who was resting from the last two games, failed to make any difference, and he lost his wicket after scoring only 10 runs. Even in the powerplay, the struggle of the RR continues as Dhruv Jurel, who used to play important knocks for the team in past matches, lost his wicket on 1 only.

The RR had high hopes for the partnership of Shimron Hetmyer and Ravichandran Ashwin, but Anuj Rawal's amazing performance behind the stumps ensured an early finish to the match. Rawat's spectacular run-out of Ashwin left both the batsman and Hetmyer shocked, as RR were eventually bowled out for 59.
