RR vs RCB: Gopal's spinner dreams of winning the IPL for Kohli, playoffs near Rajasthan

Shreyas Gopal (4 overs 16 runs 4 wickets) helped Rajasthan Royals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 30 runs and out of the play-off race. With this, Virat Kohli once again dreamed of winning the IPL title broke.

Virat Kohli, who kept the hopes of playoff after winning the hat-trick of the win, got the target of 165 for a win in the last league match. But in the end the team all out at 134 runs in 19.2 overs. AB de Villiers scored the highest 53 runs for RCB but as soon as he got out, Rajasthan made a strong comeback and took the game away.

With this victory Rajasthan has got 14 points but it will have to wait till tomorrow to reach the play-off. In the second match played today, if the Kolkata Knight Riders gets defeated by Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan's hopes will increase.

RCB started well to achieve the record target of 165 runs, captain Powar Kohli returned after scoring 4 runs. Gotham made him clean-bold. Parthiv Patel (33) put some good shots but once again failed to convert the start into big scores and got stuck on Gopal's ball. After that Gopal performed his leg spin and showed Moin Ali (1), Mandeep Singh (3) and De Villiers in the pavilion. Ish Sodhi took the catch to Colin de Grandhom (2) in the hands of the captain.

RCB 96 had lost half of its batsmen and the full hope was on the shoulders of the players, but Gopal sent him to the pavilion as soon as the team scored two runs. Gopal's leg has been so great that three out of four batsmen got stumped.

After De Villiers was dismissed, RCB's hopes were completely over, and its fateful Ben Laughlin took Sarfaraz Khan (7) and Umesh Yadav (0) out. Unadkat catched the shot (14) to Gautam
