RR vs RCB Highlights, IPL 2024: Virat Kohli's record-extending eighth IPL century went in vain as Rajasthan Royals comfortably thrashed them to win by six wickets in a one-sided match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Saturday. Kohli (113 not out off 72 balls) scored his century off 67 balls and added 125 runs with skipper Faf du Plessis (44 off 33 balls) but 183 was never going to be enough as they never really upped the ante. For Rajasthan Royals, spinners Yuzvendra Chahal (2/34 in 4 overs) and Ravichandran Ashwin (0/28 on 4 overs) were the best bowlers on view as they never allowed RCB batters to chance their arms freely. Royals reached the target with five balls to spare as Jos Buttler roared back to form with an unbeaten 100 and also had skipper Sanju Samson (69 off 42 balls) for company. (Scorecard | Points Table)

- 22:05 (IST)RR vs RCB Live: Poor effort from KohliVirat Kohli, fielding at deep mid-wicket, was involved in two misfields. The first one happened when Sanju Samson hit the ball in between the deep mid-wicket and long-on fielders. Both Kohli and Mayank Dagar, the two players position there, ran to the ball but left it for each other to see it running away for four.

- 21:30 (IST)RR vs RCB Live: OUT!Rajasthan Royals lost the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal only on the second ball of their chase of 184 runs against RCB.

- 20:57 (IST)
- 20:42 (IST)RR vs RCB Live: Another WICKET!Brilliant bowling from Nandre Burger and he gets a much-deserved wicket. Glenn Maxwell has been cleaned up for a score of 1 off 3 balls. Rajasthan Royals have pulled things back a bit. The high-flying RCB now need to restrategise.RCB 128/2 (14.5)
- 20:36 (IST)RR vs RCB Live: OUT!Faf du Plessis is OUT! Yuzvendra Chahal gets his man. He was deprived of this wicket on the previous ball when Trent Boult dropped the catch near deep extra cover but not this time.

- 19:42 (IST)
- 19:07 (IST)RR vs RCB Live Score: Here are the playing XIs -Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(w/c), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Nandre Burger, Yuzvendra ChahalRoyal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik(w), Saurav Chauhan, Reece Topley, Mayank Dagar, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal
- 19:00 (IST)IPL 2024 Live: RCB's bowling woesGoing by their last four matches, RCB seem to be lacking the variety or strength in their bowling to exploit the chinks in Rajasthan batting. Left-arm pacer Yash Dayal and off-spinner Glenn Maxwell lead their wicket-takers' chart with four wickets apiece but even that really is an inflated picture as the duo hasn't been able to make any real impact on the proceedings. The modest form of experienced pacers has really hurt them as Mohammed Siraj has leaked over 10 runs an over while Alzarri Joseph and his replacement Reece Topley have given away more than nine runs an over for meagre returns.
- 18:42 (IST)RR vs RCB Live Score: Challenges for RCBPacers Trent Boult and Nandre Burger and veteran leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal have worked up a nice early rhythm and have shared 16 wickets between them. The out of touch Bengaluru batters might just find it tough to tackle the trio at its home turf. The lone missing piece in Rajasthan's bowling, rather surprising at that, is the patchy form of Ravichandran Ashwin, who has taken one wicket from three matches while giving away 8.3 runs per over. But the seasoned off-spinner can turn that around quickly, and he has a fine record against RCB as well.
- 18:34 (IST)IPL 2024 Live: Samson, Parag - the backbone of RR's battingThe Royals' batting has largely revolved around captain Sanju Samson (109 runs, one fifty) and the highly-improved Riyan Parag (181 runs, 2 fifties) and at some point, the duo will require solid support from others. However, Rajasthan have an edge over their opponents in the bowling department.
- 18:31 (IST)IPL 2024 Live: Jaiswal, Butter yet to hit formThe Bengaluru outfit will hope for a reversal at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, a venue that carries similar traits as RCB's home - Chinnaswamy Stadium - in terms of a smooth pitch and a blistering outfield adding value to the batters' shots. But the aforementioned RCB quartet has company in the Royals' ranks. Yashasvi Jaiswal entered this iteration of IPL on the back of some excellent recent efforts, but the left-handed opener has made just 39 runs from three matches, and Jos Buttler offers a similar story. The England T20 captain is yet to be in his intimidating self, and has managed 35 runs from three outings and his strike-rate across these matches is a mere 85.
- 18:16 (IST)RR vs RCB Live: RCB's top-order worriesThe RCB top-order comprising skipper Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar is a storehouse of talent and explosiveness. But none of them have fired either in isolation or in unison, except star batter Virat Kohli, the current Orange Cap holder with 203 runs, who has made two fifties. Patidar showed a glimpse of his clean shot-making abilities while registering 29 in their 28-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants, but he needs to do a lot more to prop up the RCB middle-order.
- 18:11 (IST)IPL 2024 LIVE Updates: PreviewStruggling Royal Challengers Bengaluru and high-flying Rajasthan Royals bizarrely have similar worries to address when they face each other in the Indian Premier League in Jaipur on Saturday. The eighth place where RCB are currently on the 10-team table is a fair indication of their troubles, but Rajasthan's all-win record so far and the resultant second place do not necessarily mirror their turmoil. An underwhelming top-order is the intertwining factor between them.
