Mon Apr 07 15:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Hazlewood’s Double Blow Stuns RCB; Rohit Sharma Also Falls Early
**Bengaluru, India –** Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) suffered a setback early in their innings, losing two key batsmen, Rohit Sharma and Will Rickelton, in quick succession. Josh Hazlewood, bowling for the opposing team (name not specified in text), was the architect of the dismissals, claiming Rickelton twice – first via an LBW decision upheld after review, then another LBW. Rickelton did manage a couple of boundaries before his dismissal, including a powerful shot through extra cover.
Earlier, Rohit Sharma also fell victim to a stunning inswinger from Yash Dayal, bowled for 17. Despite some early boundaries, RCB found themselves in a precarious position early in their innings. The match report highlights a pattern of success against left-arm pace for Rohit in recent T20 matches, suggesting a potential vulnerability for the batsman. While the complete score and the identity of the opposing team aren’t explicitly provided, the early wickets indicate a challenging start for RCB.
