Kolkata Knight Riders survived a late charge by Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsmen to win by one run in an IPL thriller after Virat Kohli's angry outburst at his dismissal on Sunday.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Gautam Gambhir heaped praise on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match at the iconic Eden Gardens on Sunday. Gambhir took to his official X (formerly X) account and said that the Bengaluru-based franchise displayed a 'phenomenal character' during their match against KKR. "Phenomenal display of character by RCB today," Gambhir wrote. Summarizing the match, RCB skipper Faf Du Plessis won the toss and elected to field first. Phil Salt's explosive 48 in 14 balls, with seven fours and three sixes, provided the two-time champions with some extra runs in the powerplay.
Karn Sharma's scarcely believable last-over assault on Mitchell Starc gave Royal Challengers Bengaluru a glimmer of hope but the Kolkata Knight Riders kept their nerves to eke out a one-run win off the last ball in their IPL match here on Sunday. The Royal Challengers required 21 runs off the last over bowled by left-arm pacer Starc while chasing a daunting 223-run target set by the Knight Riders. The result seemed a foregone conclusion with Karn and Mohammed Siraj at the crease, but the former nearly turned the match on its head. Karn, a leg-spinner with no real pedigree with the bat, hammered three sixes off Starc to reduce the margin to three runs off two balls. But Starc redeemed himself taking a return catch to dismiss Karn (20, 7b, 3x6) and Lockie Ferguson was run out off the last ball as RCB ended up at 222 all out in 20 overs.
Kolkata Knight Riders successfully defended 21 runs in the final over to register a thrilling one-run victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2024 on Sunday. Things looked grim for under-pressure RCB after Andre Russell dismissed the in-form Dinesh Karthik on the final ball of the 19th over. However, Karn Sharma brought them back in the match after hitting three sixes against KKR's Rs 24.75 crore buy Mitchell Starc. That was not the end of the drama as Starc dismissed Karn on the penultimate delivery of the over to hand KKR the advantage. RCB needed 3 runs to win in the last ball of the match but Lockie Ferguson was run out before competing the second run and RCB slumped to a narrow defeat.
Former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth said he was hurt by watching the Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowling performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a record-breaking IPL 2024 match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. On Monday night, RCB suffered their sixth defeat in seven games after losing to SRH by 25 runs, who managed a record for the highest total in IPL history with 287/3, beating their record of 277 set against the Mumbai Indians (MI) earlier in the season. Srikkanth took a dig at RCB, and advised them to play with all 11 batters, especially when they play at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Srikkanth also said that Virat Kohli could have bowled better than those who leaked 287 runs in the match.
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh voiced his concerns regarding Royal Challengers Bengaluru's bowling unit, which conceded the highest total in the history of the Indian Premier League against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB elected to put SRH to bat and a tsunami of boundaries took over the stadium as the Pat Cummins-led side broke their own record and posted the highest ever total in the IPL: 287/3. Each bowler who completed his four-over spell conceded more than 50 runs on the record-breaking night. Reece Topley picked up a wicket but conceded 68 runs. Yash Dayal gave away 51 runs, Lockie Ferguson bagged two while spilling away 52 runs and Vijaykumar Vyshak also gave away 64 runs. Throughout the tournament, RCB has lacked firepower in their bowling unit, which has played a part in their downfall. In seven matches, RCB have tried to defend their target four times and have failed to achieve it once in the ongoing season.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru was again at the receiving end due to their insipid bowling as SunRisers Hyderabad batter slammed them out of the park at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday. Batting first, SRH's Travis Head slammed century in just 39 balls - the fourth fastest IPL ton ever - as SRH reached 100 in the eighth over and went past the 150-mark in the 12th over. No RCB bowler was spared as SRH launched an all out attack. Though, Head fell on 102, Heinrich Klaasen took the team forward. SRH ultimately finished on 287/3 - the highest ever IPL total.
RCB vs SRH IPL 2024, Live Updates: Travis Head is on the verge of a sensational century and he is currently at the crease with Heinrich Klaasen but Abhishek Sharma was dismissed by Reece Topley after an impressive start. Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to bowl against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL 2024 match.
