Vaibhav put the Bangalore bowlers on the back foot with a blistering innings of 78 runs off just 26 balls. His impressive strike rate of 300 proved to be the turning point of the match. Vaibhav’s powerful batting instilled a strong fear in the RCB camp. After his dismissal, Rajasthan maintained its grip and kept the run rate steady.
