Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally returned to winning ways in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, bringing an end to their 6-game losing streak, beating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday. The 35-run win against SRH keep RCB alive in the playoffs race, though their task still remains a stiff one. Though the journey could be long, RCB stars, especially Virat Kohli, found enough reasons to celebrate as they ended the winning streak of high-flying Hyderabad. Kohli, in fact, turned into a kid as RCB pacer Yash Dayal bowled the final over of the match. (IPL 2024 Points Table)
Former Indian skipper and current head coach of the Indian cricket team Rahul Dravid reached the polling booth to cast his vote in Bengaluru on Friday. Dravid, just like a common man, stood in the queue before he had the opportunity to cast his vote for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. He also urged people to come out and vote. After casting his vote, Dravid spoke to the media and said, "Everyone must come out and vote. It is an opportunity we get in a democracy." Dravid's former teammate and legendary Indian spinner Anil Kumble also exercised his voting rights in Bengaluru.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis was a relieved man after his team snapped a six-game losing streak with a 35-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL here on Thursday. "Last two games, we've shown great signs of fight. SRH game was 270 plus, we got 260. KKR game as well - 1 run. We've been close for a while, but you need to win matches to get confidence as a group. Will sleep easier tonight. You can't speak confidence into the group, can't fake confidence into the group. Only thing that gives confidence is performances," he said at the post match presentation ceremony.
Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins backed their high-risk, high-reward approach after falling short by 35 runs against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024. When Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma arrive at the crease to open the innings for SRH, fans expect fireworks coming from the bat of the left-handed duo. However, this time RCB made early inroads by removing the duo within the powerplay to limit the damage. The middle order succumbed to the pressure, which allowed RCB bowlers to dictate the flow of the game. (IPL 2024 Points Table)
Mitchell Starc has no injury concern and is "available" for selection, Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Ramandeep Singh said even as the star pacer indulged in just light training sessions ahead of their IPL clash against Punjab Kings. The Australian cricketer, who attracted a record bid, did not have the kind of return to the league after eight years he would have hoped as he has leaked plenty of runs this season and has managed just six wickets. The left-arm quick also reportedly sustained a finger injury on his bowling hand during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
After pleading a lot for it, Kolkata Knight Riders' star batter Rinku Singh eventually managed to get Royal Challengers Bengaluru star Virat Kohli's bat. Earlier, in a viral video, Rinku was seen asking Kohli for his bat. While Kohli came to know the whereabouts of the previous bat he gave to the player, the RCB veteran decided not to give another willow to Rinku despite the junior pleading a lot for it. Rinku broke Kohli's bat while playing against a spinner, the star had revealed in the surfaced video. The interaction had taken place ahead of KKR's second leg match vs RCB.
