RR vs RCB, IPL 2024: Virat Kohli's Ton In Vain As Rajasthan Royals Beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru By 6 Wickets
NDTV
Virat Kohli's eighth IPL century went in vain as Rajasthan Royals comfortably thrashed them to win by six wickets in a one-sided match on Saturday.
Jos Buttler roared back to form with a masterful century that overshadowed Virat Kohli's record-extending 113 as Rajasthan Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets for a fourth win in as many matches in the IPL on Saturday. Royals now have four wins out of four and sit on top of 10 team table while RCB slipped to eighth spot with fourth defeat and three on trot. While Kohli enhanced his status as RCB's lone ranger by notching up his eighth IPL century but RCB could only manage a below-par 183/3 after the home side opted to bowl.
Then, the England white-ball skipper in his 100th IPL appearance chose to ruin Kohli's evening by playing a knock that was way better compared to former India skipper's effort both in intent and quality.
Buttler, who ended IPL 2023 with three successive ducks and scored a highest of 13 in his last three innings, anchored the chase with five balls to spare.
Buttler finished the chase with a six off Cameron Green over deep square leg in the last over that also notched up his sixth IPL century.
His effort came off just 58 balls, laced with nine fours and four sixes.
