New Delhi: A much hyped and star-studded Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier put in to bat first were bundled out for the third lowest score (70) in the history of IPL. Thanks to the superb bowling by the RR's old gun Pravin Tambe who took 4 for 20, his best figures in IPL which led his team to six wickets victory. The RCB innings was off to a disastrous start after their openers returned to the dug out in the very first over and the agony ended for them in the 15th over.From Parthiv Patel as an opener to Albie Morkel in the middle order, RCB had a very strong batting line up in the tournament. But what was the reason of this collapse where only three batsmen managed to score in double figures?See furtherBinny started the collapse removing Yogesh Takawale for nought in the very first over. He didn't look in any hurry till the last ball, but he decides to show some aggression against the gentle medium pace. The ball kisses the outside edge and ends up with the keeper. After first strike, RCB need not to panic but then in-form Parthiv Patel followed Takawale soon after being run out for 1. New man in Virat Kohli tried called for a quick single but Patel was caught short of his ground.Australian pacer Kane Richardson then replaced Binny in the third over to choke the RCB top-order by dismissing Yuvraj Singh (3) who hanged the bat and sends the outside edge straight to the second slip fielder. That was a really poor attempt and the ball was not even that fast as he made it look. On the next ball, Richardson knocked off the dangerous AB de Villiers for a first ball duck. Another tame delivery just outside off and AB has a lazy waft at that one, ends up chopping it on to his stumps. Skipper Virat Kohli was then joined by Sachin Rana and Richardson was on hat-trick but Rana survives that one.However, Rana, who plays for Haryana in Ranji trophy, though couldn't last long after he was bowled out by Shane Watson for 3. The wickets continued to tumble despite Kohli trying his best to put some fight. The rot continued after leg-spinner Tambe got Albie Morkel for 7. Albie, who had been patient till now, went after a flighted delivery to lob a simple catch to Steven Smith at mid-off. Kohli then gave away his wicket by giving a sitter to Tim Southee at mid-off off Tambe leaving RCB struggling at 46/7.What more then you expect from the tailenders? The procession continued as Starc was caught by Binny off Rajat Bhatia after a fighting 18. Tambe then completed the formalities to wipe off the tail.Tambe was pick of the bowlers for RR with 4 wickets while Richardson picked up two and Bhatia, Watson and Binny picked up a scalp each.The Rajasthan side though hit a few roadblocks when Ajinkya Rahane was caught behind off Mitchell Starc for 23; Sanju Samson was run out for 2.Mitchell Starc then struck his second blow to send Karun Nair back for 8.Chasing 71, Rajasthan cantered to their target in 13 overs with skipper Shane Watson top-scoring with 24 runs.RCB ended with their second consecutive defeat. Bangalore's star-studded line-up didn't help matters by playing some reckless strokes even when wickets were falling around them and they certainly need to work upon it. Their team owner Vijay Mallya's expression tells that he is not at all pleased with his team's performance.
