Royal Challengers Bangalore are facing Delhi Capitals in the 62nd match of the ongoing IPL 2024 at the renowned M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
After being asked to bat first, RCB started off positively with openers Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis showing good form, especially Kohli, who scored 27 off just 13 balls with one four and three sixes. However, Ishant Sharma dismissed Kohli, leading to an interesting celebration due to their shared Delhi origins and long-standing cricket careers.

As of now, RCB have scored 134 runs in 11 overs, with Will Jacks and Cameron Green at the crease, batting at 41 and 3 not out, respectively. They aim to aggressively push the score over 200.
Speaking of RCB, Kohli’s team, they are struggling in the points table with just five wins in their 12 matches, currently placed seventh. Their chances of qualifying for the playoffs have significantly diminished following Chennai Super Kings’ recent win over Rajasthan Royals. Kolkata Knight Riders are the only team to have officially qualified for the playoffs, leading the points table with nine wins out of 12 games.
