IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Statisticians and even common sense might tell you that strike rate is a pretty important metric in T20 cricket. After all, the point is to score as many runs as you can in 20 overs. However, players like KL Rahul have said that strike rates are overrated. In the middle of this debate is Virat Kohli's T20 strike rate, which has rarely gone into the kind of zone occupied by the likes of Andre Russell and Suryakumar Yadav. This year Kohli ended up getting a lot of criticism for scoring a century for RCB in 67 balls against RR in a game that they went on to lose quite comprehensively. His strike rate has improved though and it stands at 150.39 in eight matches, which is not bad at all.

And yet, Virat Kohli has been top of the Orange Cap table for practically every day of this season. The former RCB captain has scored 379 runs at an average of 63.17 and strike rate of 150.39 with one century and two half-centuries.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: SRH have been a battering ram of a batting unit this year and at its head have been Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.

They have two century stands, which is the most for any pair and their strike rate of 254.1 is the second best for a pair (minimum 100 runs).

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB, somehow, came to the decision that not retaining Chahal ahead of the IPL 2022 auction might be a good idea. They retained Virat Kohli ( ₹15 crore), Glenn Maxwell ( ₹11 crore), and Mohammed Siraj ( ₹7 crore) but listed Chahal for the auction despite the spinner taking 139 wickets for the franchise in 113 matches at an average of 22.03 and economy rate of 7.58.

RCB's former director of cricket Mike Hesson has since stated that he will be frustrated about letting Chahal go throughout his career and maybe even after that. “It was one of those things where if you only retain three players, you give yourself an extra 4 crore in the auction. That potentially gave us the chance to get both Harshal and Yuzi,” he had said on Jio Cinema. He then said that they made a miscalculation during the auction which led to them not being able to buy back Chahal. And now RCB are bottom of the table.
