In Bengaluru, the 10th match of the IPL 2024 between Kolkata Knight Riders versus Royal Challengers Bangalore. After winning the toss, Shreyas Iyer decided to field first on a sluggish wicket. Virat Kohli continued his impressive form from the last game against Punjab Kings by coming up big with an 83-ball 49. Dinesh Karthik added the finishing touches with 20 runs off of 8 balls, while Cameron Green hit 33 runs off of 21 balls. It was a sluggish, dry surface and the RCB batsmen could not find their rhythm. The slower balls into the wicket were to the best of the KKR bowlers' abilities. Despite having trouble with timing, the RCB hitters managed to score 182 runs in their 20 overs.
Phil Salt and Sunil Narine, two of the KKR openers, came out firing; Salt hit 30 runs off 20 balls, while Narine smashed 47 runs off 22 balls. In only 6.3 overs, KKR raced to 86 runs. Venkatesh Iyer amassed 50 runs in 30 balls, and skipper Shreyas Iyer struck 39 runs in 24 balls to help KKR cross the finish line. KKR won both of their matches this season, defeating RCB by a margin of seven wickets.
KKR became the first team in the 10 IPL 2024 games to win away from home thus far. Additionally, they have continued their winning run in Bengaluru. Since 2015, they have not lost against the RCB in Bengaluru. With the pitch moving slowly at one point, the goal of 182 appeared doable. But the KKR batsmen disproved everyone's assumptions in only the first six overs. During the powerplay, Sunil Narine destroyed the RCB bowlers, making it easy for KKR to win. KKR ultimately defeated RCB with a resounding victory tonight. Social media users responded to the victory by trolling RCB following their loss to KKR.
