Maharashtra is witnessing the worst ever summer for the last few years as the mercury is soaring high with each passing day. The last few games have seen the heat get to the players as well as there have been several instances of players having a go at each other. Be it the Finch vs Krishna fight or the send off by Kohli to Warner. The IPL has been catching steam as the days go by. The game between RCB and RR on Tuesday at the MCA stadium in Pune witnessed two Indian players have a go at each other.
Harshal Patel and Riyan Parag nearly come to blows –
Riyan Parag proved his critics wrong with a brilliant 56 off 31 balls as he helped RR reach 144 on the board. The youngster scored his 2nd ever 50 in the IPL and was the reason for RR to reach a good total on the board. Parag hit the last ball of RR’s innings for a six and was walking back to the dugout. That’s when the cameras caught Harshal Patel being engaged in a war of words with Parag. The two nearly came to blows till Patel was pulled back before the situation could get out of hand. One isn’t sure what really happened but the scenes were ugly.

Must win game for RCB –
The game on Tuesday is a must win for RCB after their performance in the last game against SRH. The Bangalore outfit were all out for a mere 68 on the board and lost the game in a jiffy. Placed 5th in the table a win for the DU Plessis led side will take them to the top two in the table with 12 points in their kitty. RCB also gave Virat Kohli the opening slot after they dropped Anuj Rawat and replaced him with Rajat Patidar. RCB will want to win the game and make themselves surge up the table and also avoid any potential banana skins with the race for the play-offs heating up.
