Mon Apr 07 16:10:00 UTC 2025: **RCB’s Pandya Bowls 117 kmph Thunderbolt, RCB Posts Mammoth 222/5 Against MI**
Mumbai, India – Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) posted a massive 222/5 in their allotted 20 overs against Mumbai Indians (MI) in a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match at the Wankhede Stadium today. Virat Kohli top-scored with a stunning 67, supported by impressive contributions from Faf du Plessis (64) and Jitesh Sharma (40).
RCB’s bowling attack also made its presence felt. Krunal Pandya, in particular, stole the show, dismissing Will Jacks with a searing 117 kmph bouncer in the 10th over. The unexpected delivery proved too much for Jacks, who mistimed his pull shot and was caught at deep square leg for 22, leaving MI struggling at 3 wickets down. Yash Dayal and Hazlewood also chipped in with wickets. MI now faces the daunting task of chasing 222 runs in the remaining 10 overs.
Pandya’s unpredictable bowling continues to be a major asset for RCB. While he frequently bowls at conventional speeds, his ability to deliver sudden bursts of pace exceeding 100 kmph has consistently unsettled opponents throughout the IPL 2025 season. Today’s 117 kmph delivery serves as a prime example of his effectiveness.
