Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru(RCB), the 19th match of IPL 2024 was on Match,6 2024 on Saturday, at Sawai Mansingh StadiumRajasthan Royals (RR) vs. Royal challengers Bengaluru(RCB), the 19th match of IPL 2024 was on Match,6 2024 on Saturday, at Sawai Mansingh Stadium(SMS) in Jaipur, Rajasthan in the evening, the match started at 7:30 and the toss was won by Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson and he opted to bowl first against Faf du Plessis’ Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Jos Buttler returned to form in style with a brilliant century as Rajasthan Royals outclassed Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday with a 6-wicket win. Buttler trumped Kohli’s century from the first innings as the Royals chased down the 184-run target without much difficulty. Things will only get difficult for RCB from here in the tournament.
Virat Kohli’s Century
Virat Kohli scored a fine century and also became the most-scored player by completing 7500+ scores in the IPL and the only player to do so, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted a challenging 183/3 on the scoreboard after 20 overs. Kohli became the first centurion of the season and remained unbeaten at 113 on a tricky batting surface. It was a one-man show from Kohli in the batting department. Apart from him, only Faf du Plessis made a substantial contribution of 44.
Unbeaten Rajasthan Royals take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in their upcoming IPL 2024 fixture, in Jaipur on Saturday. RR is currently second in the standings with six points in three matches. Meanwhile, RCB is eighth with two points in four games. For RCB, it is once again the same set of problems this season as their batting order has lacked form and consistency. Virat Kohli has fired and leads the Orange Cap race, but hasn’t been well-supported by his teammates. Other than Kohli, Dinesh Karthik has been the other in-form batter for RCB as they are in dire straits right now.
Fans should also remember that Jaipur is where Virat Kohli smacked one of his most popular innings, an unbeaten knock of 100 in 52 balls against Australia in a historic ODI chase in 2013. But in IPL, he hasn’t even got a half-century here and averages 21.28 while striking at less than a run a ball. Kohli’s battle against Sandeep Sharma will also be a treat to watch for fans. In 15 IPL encounters, Kohli has smacked 87 off 67 balls from Sandeep and has also lost his wicket seven times. No bowler has removed Kohli so often, with Ashish Nehra in second place with six dismissals. Urging his side to perform better with the bat, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis said, “You need two guys to bat through and get a partnership which we were not able to do. We need the strong characters in the dressing room to put their hand up.”
Rajasthan Royals work on the fied
On the other hand, RR have had a sensational start to their campaign. Although Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal haven’t found their footing yet, Riyan Parag has made the RR fans forget about their openers. The Assam batter has shone for his side this season and is their new no. 4. The focus will once again be on Buttler, whose highest score in his last six IPL innings is 13, which he got in the previous fixture. He ended last season with three successive ducks and hasn’t fared well this campaign too. Opening up on his batting approach, Parag said, “Nothing has changed, just that I have simplified things. Before I would think about things too much, this year the goal is simple, watch the ball, hit the ball.”
RCB also hasn’t worked out their bowling strategy. Dropping Vyshak Kumar in their previous fixture proved to be costly, as they lost to Lucknow Super Giants. Even Mohammed Siraj hasn’t been in good form yet and Mayank Dagar hasn’t been consistent. For RR, their bowling department has been fantastic this season. Trent Boult has led the pace battery with ease and has been well-complemented by spinners R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal.

RR defeated RCB to remain unbeaten at the top of the IPL 2024 points table. Rajasthan Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets on Saturday, to remain unbeaten in the ongoing IPL 2024 season and marked their place on the 1st spot in the IPL leaderboard.
