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.
Highlights of IPL 2024 match between RR and RCB:
- 23:13 (IST)IPL 2024 Live: Rajasthan Royals win!Jos Buttler slams a six towards the deep mid-wicket region and that is the winning runs for Rajasthan Royals. Meanwhile, Buttler also gets to his century. RR have won this game by 6 wickets with five balls to spare. This is their fourth win on trot. What a season they are having!
- 22:32 (IST)RR vs RCB Live: Buttler joins Dhawan in elite listJos Buttler slammed a six to Yash Dayal on the final ball of the 13th over. It was the third six of the innings for Buttler and 152nd in his IPL career. With it, Buttler equalled the tally of Shikhar Dhawan in the list of players with most IPL sixes. RR 136 for 1 after 13 overs.
- 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. Next came a catching opportunity when Kohli dived forward and the ball slipped through him for a four. Rajasthan Royals need 107 runs in 72 balls.
- 21:36 (IST)RR vs RCB Live: Big feat for Samson!With a four on the second ball of Yash Dayal's over, Sanju Samson crossed the milestone of 4000 runs in IPL. With this, he joined the likes of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni in the list of players with over 400 IPL runs. Samson slammed another four on the final ball to fetch 8 runs off the Yash Dayal over.
- 21:06 (IST)
- 20:06 (IST)IPL 2024 Live: Historic feat for KohliWith a single on the fourth ball of the 7th over, Kohli reached the milestone of 7500 runs in IPL. He thus became the first-ever batter in tournament's history to acheive the feat. The second batter in the list is Shikhar Dhawan with 6755 runs to his name. RCB 60-0 after 7 overs.
- 19:49 (IST)RR vs RCB Live: Kohli surpasses Dhoni in elite listNandre Burger bowled a short ball on the second delivery of his over and Virat Kohli pulled it away for a six over deep backward square leg. With that, Kohli surpasses MS Dhoni in the list of players with most IPL sixes. Kohli now holds the 4th spot individually with 243 sixes. Chris Gayle tops the list with 357 sixes, while Rohit Sharma (261) and AB de Villiers (251) follow him.
- 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.
