Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) finally returned to winning ways in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and ended their 6-match losing streak by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday. The 35-run win against SRH has kept RCB in the playoff race, although their task still remains tough. Although the journey may be a long one, the RCB stars, especially Virat Kohli, got enough reasons to celebrate as they ended high-flying Hyderabad’s winning streak. In fact, when RCB fast bowler Yash Dayal bowled the last over of the match, Kohli turned into a child. (IPL 2024 points table)
Kohli, batting first, played a key role in his team’s victory by scoring 51 runs, taking the Bengaluru franchise’s score to 206/7. The bowling unit then worked together to rattle SRH’s top order, leading to a 35-run defeat.

After the game, Faf said during the post-match presentation, “In the last two games, we have shown great signs of fight. The SRH game (in Bengaluru) was 270 plus, and we got 260. The KKR game also – (lost Gaya) by 1 run. We have been close for some time, but to gain confidence as a group you need to win matches. What gives confidence is performance.”
“The competition is so strong, the teams are so strong that if you are not at 100 per cent you will suffer. Now more people are scoring runs. In the first half of the tournament, only Virat (Kohli) was scoring runs. Greenie (Cameron Green )) It will be a big thing for them to score runs. We know Chinnaswamy is a big disappointment for us. We have tried to find a recipe for it, but it is difficult.”
RCB are at the bottom of the points table with two wins, seven losses and four points. SRH are at third place with five wins, three losses and 10 points.
