The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad witnessed a thrilling encounter in the 41st match of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) between the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
RCB Pile on the Runs
RCB, electing to bat first, capitalized on a strong batting performance to set a challenging target of 207 runs. Rajat Patidar stole the show with a breathtaking knock of 54 runs, including a sequence of four consecutive sixes. Virat Kohli continued his impressive form, anchoring the innings with a well-composed 51 runs. Glenn Maxwell provided valuable support with a quickfire 32-run cameo.
SRH Falter Despite Early Promise
SRH started their chase positively with Abhishek Sharma leading the charge with a gritty 42 runs. However, the middle order faltered under pressure, failing to convert starts into substantial contributions. The RCB bowling attack, led by the young pacer Yash Dayal (3 wickets) and the experienced Mohammed Siraj (2 wickets), displayed excellent control and discipline, restricting SRH to 171 runs and securing a comfortable 35-run victory.
Patidar Clinches Player of the Match Award

Virat Kohli's anchoring knock ensured RCB had a strong foundation, while the disciplined bowling performance by Dayal and Siraj choked the SRH chase in its middle stages.
