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.
IPL 2024 is not going up to the expectations of Royal Challengers Bengaluru as Faf du Plessis and co are placed at the bottom of the points table. In six games in the season so far, RCB have lost five and left the fans utterly disappointed. Despite having big names like Faf, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and others, RCB are having a horrendous campaign. Recently, former England captain Michael Vaughan shared his views regarding trophyless run in the cash-rich league and the abysmal performance in the ongoing season.
Mo Bobat, Director of Cricket at Royal Challengers Bengaluru, on Sunday allayed fitness concerns surrounding Glenn Maxwell ahead of their IPL 2024 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Bengaluru. Maxwell had suffered a hit on his thumb while fielding in RCB's previous match against Mumbai Indians, but Bobat said the Australian all-rounder has recovered well. "Maxi has had a couple of scans, and he's okay at the minute. So, there's no injury concerns. He's going to practice today and get more of a feel," said Bobat in the pre-match press meet.
Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya was once again booed by the crowd at the Wankhede Stadium during the IPL 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.

Things got worse as MI slumped to three back-to-back defeats in the competition but the past few games have witnessed a mini-resurgence for the side with two wins. During the last game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Virat Kohli was not pleased with the crowd booing Hardik and he requested them to cheer him and remember that he plays for the Indian cricket team.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have played six matches in the series and they are currently ranked tenth on the points table, while SRH have played five matches in the series and are currently ranked fifth on the points table. Both teams last played against each other in the Match 65 of the Indian T20 League, 2023 where Virat Kohli scored the highest fantasy points for Royal Challengers Bengaluru with 144 match fantasy points while Heinrich Klaasen topped the fantasy points leaderboard for Sunrisers Hyderabad with 150 match fantasy points.

The social media post caught fans by surprise ahead of CSK's much-anticipated IPL 2024 encounter against Mumbai Indians on Sunday and the users were quick to give their opinions on the possible move. Pujara had previously played for the franchise back in 2021 but he did not play a single game for them.

There has been a lot of speculation regarding Rohit Sharma's future after IPL 2024 since the star India batter was removed as the Mumbai Indians skipper. Ahead of the new season, his ten-year tenure as the MI captain came to an unceremonious end as he was replaced by Hardik Pandya after the all-rounder completed a sensational trade from Gujarat Titans.
