Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru marched into a second successive IPL final with a 92-run demolition of Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 here on Tuesday, powered by skipper Rajat Patidar’s blistering unbeaten 93 off 33 balls and a ruthless pace assault that ripped apart their opponents’ top-order inside the powerplay.
RCB piled up a daunting 254 for five, with Patidar producing one of the most destructive knocks of the season, peppering the boundaries with effortless ease after being handed reprieves early in his innings.
