IPL 2024: 'A day when...,' Rajasthan Royals brutally troll Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of six-wicket win
IPL 2024: Australia great predicts 'no deja vu' for Rajasthan Royals despite GT loss, says 'I don't think...'
Rajasthan Royals (RR) brutally trolled Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) before beating them by six wickets in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on April 6. RCB rode on Kohli's record-extending albeit joint-slowest hundred to post 183/3 in 20 overs. The score eventually proved not enough as RR chased it with ease.
After RCB's innings, RR, from their official X account, posted: "184 sounds good on a day when 200+ was possible," alongside an image of Yuzvendra Chahal who returned the figures of 2/34 in four overs.

Kohli, who scored 113 not out off 73 balls, his record-extending albeit joint-slowest century, spoke at length about his team's performance during the mid-innings break and said: " Our target initially was 190, 195, to be honest. But then assessing the pitch and how it was slowing down, we decided if one of Faf [du Plessis] or me get out, then the other had to bat till the end so that we can get that boost closer to 180-185, which we did, which I feel is a very effective total on this pitch."

Kohli's assessment, however, provedwrong as Royals chased the target with relative comfort in 19.1 overs, thanks to a 58-ball unbeaten 100 by Jos Buttler.

Royals lost Yashasvi Jaiswal early but 148-run partnership between Buttler and skipper Sanju Samson, who scored 42-ball 69, turned the game around. Royals did lose two more quick wickets after Samson's dismissal but Buttler stayed on till the end and finished off the game with a six.
This was Rajasthan's fourth win in as many games to go on top of the points table. RCB, on the other hand, are eighth on the 10-team table with just two points after four losses and one win from five games they have played in the season so far.
