Royal Challengers Bengaluru reached a respectable total of 183 runs while batting first as they took on Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Saturday.

While Virat Kohli's 8th Indian Premier League ton grabbed the headlines, it was Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler''s hundred that proved to be the difference-maker on Saturday.
