Sanju Samson won the all-important toss and put the men from Bengaluru to bat first. Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli started off well despite Trent Boult’s new ball economy heroics. He later removed the RCB captain for 17.

Kohli gave away his promising start as former RCB man Yuzvendra Chahal picked the opener. Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar tried to bring the Faf Du Plessis-led side into the game but wickets continued to fall.

Glenn Maxwell’s poor season also continued with a duck to his name and Royal Challengers Bengaluru could manage just 172 on the board in their 20 overs.

Coming to the chase, Swapnil Singh and Mohammed Siraj started well but the bowlers started to leak runs. Lockie Ferguson removed Kohler-Cadmore while Green picked Jaiswal.

Siraj’s late surge with two wickets were too little too late as Powell finished the game to take Rajasthan Royals into the Qualifier 2 of IPL 2024.
