IPL 2024 Points Table: Updated IPL Standings, Orange Cap and Purple Cap Holder after RR Vs RCB match

IPL: Rajasthan Royals thumped Royal Challengers Bengaluru in match 19 of the Tata IPL 2024 by securing a six wicket victory with five balls still to spare. After being put into bat first, Virat Kohli played a brilliant innings by scoring 113 runs which propelled the Royal Challengers Bangalore total to 183/3.

Chasing a target of 184, Rajasthan Royals lost Yashaswi Jaisval early on in the innings but Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler eased any nerves with a brilliant partnership. RCB’s bowling attack was ineffective and lackluster on the night as they had no answer to the Jos Buttler onslaught. Kohli’s first innings heroics were overshadowed by the England Captain as he marked his return to form by scoring an unbeaten 58 ball 100 and powered Rajasthan by home by finishing off with a six.

The win maintains Rajasthan Royals perfect start to the season as they have now won 4 out of 4 games and sit pretty at the top. As for Royal Challengers Bengaluru woes continue as they now have won only one game out of their first five and with stars like Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green misfiring the team looks lifeless. While Rajasthan’s playoff chances look better and better, RCB’s playoff hopes are now on a knifeedge.
