KKR vs RCB: Kolkata Clinches Thrilling Victory Over RCB At Their Home Ground

IPL 2024: The Kolkata Knight Riders continued their dominance over the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the opposition‘s home ground, M Chinnaswamy Stadium, on Friday, securing a comfortable 7-wicket victory in the 10th match of IPL 2024.

Kohli Shines, But KKR all-round Domination:

RCB skipper Virat Kohli played a lone hand with an unbeaten 83, guiding his side to a total of 182/6. However, the Kolkata bowling attack, spearheaded by Anukul Roy and Pat Cummins, did well to restrict the flow of runs at regular intervals.

Chasing a modest target, the KKR openers, Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill, provided a solid foundation with a fifty-run partnership. While Gill departed early, Iyer continued his impressive form, scoring a crucial half-century. Nitish Rana and Shreyas Iyer chipped in with valuable contributions to ensure Kolkata chased down the target with 4 overs to spare.

KKR Maintain Winning Streak Against RCB:

This victory extends Kolkata’s winning streak against RCB at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The Knight Riders have now emerged victorious in their last three encounters at this venue.

Disappointment for RCB’s Home Fans:

Despite Kohli’s heroics, RCB’s bowling attack failed to make early inroads into the KKR batting lineup. This loss will be a blow to their campaign, especially considering their struggles in the tournament so far.
