consecutive win and fourth in the IPL 2024. In the match played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the fast bowlers of Bengaluru bowled out Gujarat for just 147 runs. After this, Faf Du Plessis's explosive innings had ensured Bengaluru's victory, but suddenly in the middle overs, losing 6 wickets, the danger of defeat began to loom. In the end, Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh took the team to victory in the 14th over.
Bengaluru's bowling, which has been consistently beaten in the powerplay since the beginning of this season, put Gujarat on the backfoot by performing the best this season. Siraj took Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha wickets in the second and fourth overs. Then in the sixth over, Cameron Green got the wicket of Sai Sudarshan. Sudarshan was Gujarat's most successful batsman this season but got out in single digits for the first time. Thus, Gujarat could only score 23 runs in the powerplay, which was the lowest score of this season.
Despite this, Shahrukh Khan (37) and David Miller (30) counter-attacked and scored quickly, targeting the Bengaluru bowlers. The 61-run partnership between the two brought Gujarat back. Karn Sharma then took the wicket of David Miller, while Kohli broke the momentum by running out Shahrukh on a direct throw. Here Rahul Tewatia (35) came and scored quickly but still it was not enough to take Gujarat to a big score. In the first 3 balls of the 20th over, Gujarat lost the last 3 wickets and the team was bundled out for 147. Siraj, Vijaykumar Vaishak and Yash Dayal took 2-2 wickets for Bengaluru.
Bengaluru responded with a start hardly expected by the team itself. Virat Kohli (42) gave a fast start by hitting 2 sixes in the first over and then captain Faf Du Plessis rained boundaries. The Bengaluru skipper scored a half-century in just 18 balls, which was also the fastest half-century by RCB this season. At the same time, Kohli also hit 2 consecutive sixes on young spinner Manav Sutar. Together, they took the team to 92 runs in the powerplay, which is the highest score of RCB in IPL history.
