Rajasthan Royals (RR), one of the most balanced sides in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL), managed to get there first win of the season against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday.
After losing in the first three matches against Kings XI Punjab, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings, RR made sure they win this one.
Shreyas Gopal and Jos Buttler being the star performers of the game, helped their team cross the finishing line. While Buttler led the batting department from the front, Gopal bamboozled the RCB batsmen with his perfect line and length.

Bagging all the crucial wickets, which included the stunning bowled of Virat Kohli, caught and bowled of Ab De Villiers and a flawless catch of Buttler's to dismiss Shimron Hetmyer, the all-rounder gave away just 12 runs in his spell of four overs.
Adding these three wickets against RCB, Gopal took his overall wicket count to six, taking him up to the third position in the race of the 'Purple Cap'.
With this classic performance, we hope Gopal is able to earn a permanent spot in the opening XI for the upcoming matches.
