In a pulsating encounter on the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur, RCB chased down a goal of 167 on the ultimate ball of the match, officially knocking Mumbai Indians out of the playoff race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After winning the toss and electing to field, RCB\u2019s veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar delivered an absolute masterclass. He dismantled Mumbai\u2019s top order early, ending with exceptional figures of 4\/23 in his 4 overs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Despite the early collapse, Mumbai managed a recovery through a resilient 82-run partnership between Tilak Varma (57 off 42) and Naman Dhir (47 off 32). Nonetheless, the RCB death bowlers kept their cool, restricting Mumbai to a complete of 166\/7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Listed here are some twitter reactions:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Relive the last ball drama of RCB vs MI Match \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Peak Bhuvneshwar Kumar for RCB from bat &#038; bowl \ud83e\udee1<\/p>\n<p>See Suryakumar Yadav frustration after loss \ud83e\udd2f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uXRPEHFttE\">pic.twitter.com\/uXRPEHFttE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sam (@Cricsam01) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cricsam01\/status\/2053649507880206367?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What a low scoring thriller we had.

The Mumbai bowling attack, led by Corbin Bosch (4\/26) and Deepak Chahar (2\/33), left RCB reeling at one stage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Nonetheless, Krunal Pandya played the innings of his life. Despite battling severe cramps, Krunal hammered 73 runs off 46 balls, featuring 4 boundaries and 5 massive sixes, to maintain the chase alive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The sport reached its peak in the ultimate over, where RCB required 10 runs for victory. After a tense exchange, it was Bhuvneshwar Kumar who became the unlikely hero with the bat. Following his four-wicket haul, \u201cBhuvi\u201d remained calm and struck an important six, eventually sealing the win for Bengaluru on the very last ball. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This victory propelled RCB to the highest of the points table, while Mumbai Indians\u2019 disappointing campaign got here to a proper end.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Get the newest cricket news here, like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/cricfitupdate?wtsid=rdr_0r9TyTtGMzhJUSzAh\">Facebook<\/a>, and follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CricFit\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/cricfit?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">Instagram <\/a>for more such updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RCB.
