- 22:17 (IST)IPL 2024 LIVE: Venkatesh Iyer in pain!Venkatesh Iyer hit a beautiful pull shot for a six over fine leg but it seems he has hurt himself in the process. He is struggling with back pain. The physio is currently checking him. Kolkata Knight Riders need 55 runs in 55 balls.KKR 128/2 (10.5)
- 22:13 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE Score: End of 10 oversKolkata Knight Riders need 71 runs in 60 balls. They are in driving seat of this chase. Even if the pitch slows down, the chase from this point must be a easy for them. RCB, on the other hand, need some more wickets to bounce back in the game.KKR 112/2 (10)
- 22:03 (IST)
- 21:51 (IST)RCB vs KKR IPL 2024 LIVE Score: KKR on a roll!Kolkata Knight Riders have got a terrific score in the powerplay, all thanks to their swashbuckling openers Sunil Narine and Phil Salt. 11 runs came off Mohammed Siraj's over while Yash Dayal conceded 21 runs after that. KKR need 98 runs in 84 balls.KKR 85/0 (6)
- 21:42 (IST)IPL 2024 LIVE: 50 up for KKRKolkata Knight Riders crossed the 50-run mark in the fourth over. This is a sensational start for the side and the best part of it is that they still have two overs left in the powerplay with both their openers in the crease. KKR need 130 runs in 96 balls.KKR 53/0 (4)
- 21:36 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE Score: KKR flying high!14 runs came off the Yash Dayal over and then Alzarri Joseph was taken to the cleaners for as many runs. Phil Salt is batting on 18 off 7 while Sunil Narine is on 22 off 11 balls. The idea of promoting Narine has worked only on the second game for KKR as they could not have asked for a better start on such a slow surface.KKR 46/0 (3)
- 21:25 (IST)IPL 2024 LIVE Score: What a start for KKR!KKR have kicked off their chase in a dominating fashion. Phil Salt got off the mark on the second ball of Mohammed Siraj's over with a six and later slammed a four and one more six in it. A total of 18 runs came off the first over.KKR 18/0 (1)
- 21:08 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE Score: RCB post 182/6Dinesh Karthik is run out on the final ball but he along with Virat Kohli has already done what RCB needed out of the pair. 16 runs came off the final over of Mitchell Starc. While Kohli remained unbeaten at the score of 83 not out off 59 balls, Karthik scored 20 off 8 balls.RCB 182/6 (20)
- 20:49 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE Score: OUT!Andre Russell got the wicket of Rajat Patidar on the third legal delivery of the over. No boundary came for RCB in the over as only 7 runs came in it. Virat Kohli is still there at one end but this pitch seems to have slowed down a lot and so is the case with outfield. Forget about the venue, anything around 180 could be a really good total.RCB 148/4 (17)
- 20:41 (IST)IPL 2024 LIVE: FOUR!A fuller slower ball from Mitchell Starc well outside the off stump and Virat Kohli was ready for it. He lofted it through the cover region and the ball whizzed past the long-off fielder to run away for a four. Despite that boundary only 7 runs came off the over. This pitch seems to be tough to bat on, even for someone like Kohli.RCB 141/3 (16)
- 20:20 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE Score: Fifty for Kohli!Kohli gets to his half-century in 36 balls. Kohli hit a six on the second ball of Varun Chakaravarthy's over and then took a single to race to his fifty. This has been a gritty knock from Kohli so far but he needs to take it deep for RCB.RCB 95/2 (11.3)
- 20:18 (IST)IPL 2024 LIVE: RCB's scoring rate dips downAndre Russell has bowled a two-run over. Only five runs have come off the last two overs for RCB and that sees their scoring rate dipping to 7.91. Someone has to charge from this point, otherwise RCB will have to settle with a low total.RCB 87/2 (11)
- 20:09 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE: Green is OUT!Andre Russell gets his revenge from Cameron Green! Russell was slammed for a six by Green in the previous delivery but he made a really good comeback. He bowled a fuller ball angling in and that hit Green's pad before hitting the stumps. Green departs at the score of 33 off 21 balls.RCB 82/2 (9)
- 19:59 (IST)IPL 2024 LIVE Score: BIG Over!15 runs came off Sunil Narine's first over. It seemed like this too will turn out into an economical over when Narine conceded a single off the first ball and bowled two dots to Green. However, the Australia charged the spinner and slammed two fours and a six to make it a big over.RCB 61/1 (6)
- 19:54 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE: Brilliant bowlingAnukul Roy was brought into the attack against the likes of Virat Kohli and Cameron Green and the spinner conceded only three runs in it. Either a wicket is coming in the final over of powerplay or some good runs for RCB. It's a guess...RCB 46/1 (5)
- 19:44 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE: SIX, FOUR from Kohli!Wow! That is simply magical from Virat Kohli. Mitchell Starc bowled it fuller on the pads and Kohli nonchalantly flicked it away for a six over deep mid-wicket. On the very next ball, Kohli got an inside edge but that too ran away for a boundary through fine leg.RCB 27/1 (2.3)
- 19:41 (IST)IPL 2024 LIVE Score: OUT!Faf du Plessis is gone! Du Plessis had hit a scoop shot on the fifth ball of Harshit Rana's over with a superb execution and he tried to replicate it on the next ball but failed. Rana was smart to take out pace of the delivery and that saw du Plessis (8 off 6 balls) scoop the ball to Mitchell Starc at short fine leg.RCB 17/1 (2)
- 19:35 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE: Decent start for Starc!Seven runs came off the first over of Mitchell Starc. Virat Kohli got an outside edge on the first ball of the over and that ran away for a four through the third man region. Both Kohli and Faf du Plessis looked careful in the first over.RCB 7/0 (1)
- 19:16 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE: Here are the playing XIs-Kolkata Knight Riders: Philip Salt(w), Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer(c), Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Mitchell Starc, Anukul Roy, Harshit Rana, Varun ChakaravarthyRoyal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Cameron Green, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Anuj Rawat(w), Dinesh Karthik, Alzarri Joseph, Mayank Dagar, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal
- 19:10 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE: RCB feature unchanged XI"The same (would have bowled first). It's a fresh wicket, looks a good wicket, you have to see how it plays in the first innings. It's important to close games early in the season. All the great crickets adapt, it's important to assess the conditions. We love the support and atmosphere. Same team," said RCB captain Faf du Plessis.
- 19:06 (IST)IPL 2024 LIVE Score: Shreyas Iyer gets confused"We are going to bowl first. Had a brief chat with the curator, she was like the ball will spin as well. (Morale) It is fantastic, everyone is in high spirits. We have to carry forward the same momentum. It is important to be in the present. My role is to play an anchor role. It's always good to have a lethal bowling line-up. It is important to stay in the present. We have to see to it that we capitalize on the start. The bowling - Anukul comes in. I am seriously confused. There are two teams given to me," said KKR captain Iyer, who got confused about the team.
- 18:56 (IST)IPL LIVE Score: Will KKR make a change in spin department?It is unlikely that KKR will make changes to their eleven for this match, unless they want to give a go to promising leg-spinner Suyash Sharma, who showed fine form during KKR's pre-season matches. We will find that soon as

The KKR think-tank might not be unduly worried as their campaign is still at a nascent stage, but they would like to see the first-choice pacer and spinner finding their range at the earliest.

- 18:41 (IST)RCB vs KKR LIVE Score: Iyer yet to open account in IPL 2024Shreyas Iyer, who is central to KKR's batting plans, was dismissed for a two-ball duck, but the return to Chinnaswamy might give him a sense of relief as he had fruitful outings here in white-ball cricket in his last two innings. The elegant right-hander made an unbeaten 128 against the Netherlands in last year's World Cup before making a 53 against Australia in the fifth T20I in December.
