RCB vs KKR Highlights: Kiss the home win streak goodbye. The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have broken the away team curse in the IPL 2024 season. After home teams won 9 of the 9 matches played so far, Shreyas Iyer’s Knights smashed the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium to lift the curse.
Enemies, no more
A year after their infamous altercation, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir decided to put their differences aside. During the strategic timeout in the first inning, KKR mentor Gambhir entered the field to have a brief chat with his side. It was during this time that the Delhi boys were seen sharing a moment together, as they hugged each other and rubbished any rumors of an issue between them.
Virat ‘orange cap’ Kohli is at it again
I’ve still got it, said an ecstatic Virat Kohli after RCB won their last match. He certainly has got it! A different day, but the same result for the superstar batter. After Heinrich Klaasen took the orange cap away from him a couple of days ago, Kohli has reclaimed what is his again. His unbeaten 83 has taken him to the top, and the batter is currently averaging 90.5 in the tournament with 181 runs to his name.
500th match magic from Sunil Narine
In his 500th T20 match, Sunil Narine was in full flow with the bat. After taking just one wicket in his four overs, the southpaw returned and blew the game away in the powerplay. He smashed a 22-ball 47 as the Kolkata Knight Riders scored a mammoth 85 runs in the powerplay. Although he fell short of a fifty, his knock ensured that KKR was massively ahead on the chase.
There’s life in the old dog yet
Maybe Dinesh Karthik shouldn’t retire? The wicketkeeper batter had announced that he’d leave the sport after the end of the IPL 2024 season. But yet another masterful inning has everyone doubting the veteran cricketer’s choice. The batter scored an 8-ball 20 after scoring a 26-ball 38 and a 10-ball 28 in the last two matches.
