RCB vs PBKS IPL 2024 Highlights:

RCB vs PBKS IPL 2024 Highlights: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) got off to a quick start almost entirely thanks to Virat Kohli in the powerplay. Kohli smashed 35 in 21 balls after being dropped off the second ball of the innings by Jonny Bairstow and RCB were 50/2 at the end of the powerplay while chasing a target of 177. While Kohli continued to bat aggressively and power RCB's chase, he hardly received sustained support from the other end as Kagiso Rabada and Harpreet Brar did most of the damage for the Kings in the middle overs. Eventually though, Kohli himself perished after having scored 77 in 49 balls. While the stadium fell quiet for a while after that, Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror brought Bengaluru roaring back in a match that then turned into a thriller. The pair ended up seeing the hosts through to the end. Karthik hit the winning runs with a four, finishing unbeaten on 28 off 10 balls while Lomror scored 16 in eight balls....Read More

Earlier, Shashank Singh smashed 20 runs off the last over to push Punjab Kings' score to 176/6 in what was otherwise a rather subdued batting performance. Yash Dayal and Mohammed Siraj were the stars for RCB with the ball. Dayal returned figures of 1/23 while Siraj returned 2/26. RCB captain Faf du Plessis won the toss and chose to bowl first. Punjab Kings lost opener Jonny Bairstow early to Mohammed Siraj. While captain Shikhar Dhawan tried to get a move on, RCB did well to keep the batters in check and put pressure on PBKS in the first 10 overs. Dhawan was eventually dismissed for 44 off 37 while the dangerous Liam Livingstone fell for just 17 runs in 13 balls. Shashank then came in and made the difference in the last over.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: DK ends with a four! RCB beat PBKS by four wickets

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Arshdeep sprays the second delivery wide, he rebowls it and Karthik drills it back down the ground. Dinesh Karthik has hit 28 runs in 10 balls and taken RCB to victory in a way only he can. That was some innings from the veteran, the same can be said about Mahipal Lomroro at the other end, he finishes unbeaten on 17 off 8. The pair have put up an unbeaten stand of 48 runs which came in just 18 balls. Credit to Punjab Kings, 177 is always below par target to defend at the Chinnaswamy. Kagiso Rabada and Harpreet Brar's extraordinary spells helped them keep RCB on their toes. However, as Shikhar Dhawan says in the post-match interview, dropping Virat Kohli while he is on no runs is something that teams rarely get away with. He was belligerent as he smashed 77 in 49 balls and then Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror continued his good work.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Pin drop silence at the Chinnaswamy, the King has fallen and well, now RCB are in trouble. They need 47 to win from 24 but such is Kohli's belligerence in the death overs that the deficit hasn't really mattered. He holes out at third man, who was placed wide just for this shot. Perfect field placement and Harshal Patel gets his man.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: And now Harpreet will bowl his last over. He and Rabada have arguably been the two biggest threats for RCB. Are these two going to see him off or will they attack him? Kohli is on 65 off 42, Rawat on eight off seven.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score : RCB 113/4

Mar 25, 2024, 22:34:24 IST

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Rawat glances the first ball of the 14th over fine, beats the diving fielder at the boundary.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Oh Maxwell gives himself room, the ball flies on to the stumps off his bottom edge. Maxwell lets out a cry of anguish, out for a duck in the last match, three in this one.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score: RCB 80/2 in 9.3 overs

Mar 25, 2024, 22:12:20 IST

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: SIX! And now Kohli gets one!

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: This has been the shot that has given him the most runs today. Kohli steps out to the fourth ball of the over and flays it over covers. That hits the boundary padding on the full and so it is Kohli's first six of the innings. A single off the next ball and a dot and it is time for the first timeout of the innings after that.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Chahar tosses up the second ball of the over and Patidar sends it towering back over the bowler's head. Not the best of connections but it is enough to take the ball over the boundary here at the Chinnaswamy.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Just three runs off the sixth over bowled by Sam Curran and that is also in part due to some excellent fielding from PBKS that prevented Kohli and Patidar from getting boundaries. Kohli has scored 35 in 21 balls, Patidar on five off three.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score: RCB 50/2 in 6 overs

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Appeal for caught behind, the umpire seemed to have raised his finger but then it turns out he has sent it upstairs. Strange use of signals there. The wicketkeeper Jitesh dives to the right and takes a low catch. The ball went straight into the gloves, no problems there.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: He does it again, this time Arshdeep and the crowd at the Chinnaswamy are being spoilt here.

Du Plessis goes for a big shot off the fourth, doesn't get the desired connection at all and holes out at mid-on. Du Plessis knew as soon as he hit it that he is done for.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: The third ball is sent in at a length, Kohli steps down the track and cuts it to the boundary. Then Curran sends one on his pads and Kohli glances it away with ease. What a start for him and RCB.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Punjab Kings 176/6 in 20 overs

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: A whopping 20 runs off the last over. Alzarri Joseph has been smashed to all corners of the park today. Shashank Singh remains unbeaten on 21 off eight balls. As stated earlier, he was bought by mistake by the franchise in the auction and they even asked if they can reverse the transaction as well when they did buy him back then. But well, today his innings could be the difference between victory and defeat.

Mar 25, 2024, 21:12:33 IST

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: SIX AND FOUR! Shashank making a good finish

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Well, the kid who was bought by mistake is making a mark here. Shashank Singh is given a freebie by Joseph first ball on the pads and he flicks it to the stands. Then he hammers the third ball over midwicket and the fourth, which is short outside off, is sent over short third man to the boundary.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score: 172/6 in 19.4 overs

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: OUT! This hasn't gone well at all for the Kings

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: And it has gone very well for Siraj. Just two runs off the first three balls in the 19th, the second one fell just short of long on. Then Siraj uses the short ball on Jitesh, the batter looks to pull, top edge and the wicketkeeper takes a straightforward catch. The umpire asks the batter to wait though, it initially looked like they might be checking for height. As it turns out though, they were checking to see whether the ball touched the spider-cam cables. Third umpire finds no evidence for that and the decision stands.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Just four runs of it, two dot balls to finish it and the trademark Siraj stare for Curran at the end of it all. This is the Chinnaswamy, remember, a run rate of 8.25 in the 16th over is not good at all. PBKS yet to even cross 150.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score: PBKS 132/4 in 16 overs

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Full outside off from Dagar for the fourth ball of the 15th, Jitesh skips down the track and smashes it over the bowler's head. Then the next ball is pulled over deep square leg. Then he knocks the ball away for two runs off the last ball and that is 17 runs from the over. Much needed for PBKS.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score: PBKS 128/4 in 15 overs

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: FOUR!

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Some luck for Sam Curran. Short from Green for the fourth ball of the 14th, Curran top edges his pull and it goes in the gap between deep backward square leg and deep midwicket. Just a single after that in the over though and Curran is on 10 off six, Jitesh Sharma on three off five.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Joseph with a sensational over that keeps the batters pinned and he gets the wicket show at the end of it. Short and wide, Livingstone looks to cut it away, thick edge to the wicketkeeper and that is that.

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: GONE! The Chinnaswamy roars!

RCB vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Back to back fours and gone, Bairstow going for one shot too many and perishes, although it could well have ended with a collission between the two fielders. Bairstow takes a swipe at a length delivery, Kohli settles under it coming from cover, Maxwell was standing there as well though and the two were quite close together when Kohli took it. In the end they smile and celebrate.
