IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: He broke the choke that SRH were putting on RCB after the powerplay by clobbering 50 in 20 balls. Here is what he said: “I was just keeping things in my mind that control the controllables. Whenever I go back home, I try to solve every problem which I faced. I go for skillful batting setup. Nothing like that (plan to target spin?). Today I was backing myself to be in good shape against every bowler.”

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Du Plessis jokes that he had forgotten the way to the post-match presentation. “Last two games, we've shown great signs of fight. SRH game was 270 plus, we got 260. KKR game as well - 1 run. We've been close for a while, but you need to win matches to get confidence as a group. Will sleep easier tonight. You can't speak confidence into the group, can't fake confidence into the group. Only thing that gives confidence is performances. The competition is so strong, the teams are so strong that you'll get hurt if you're not at 100 percent. More guys scoring runs now. First half of the tournament only Virat was scoring runs. Greeny scoring runs now will be massive for him. We know that Chinnaswamy, that's been a big frustration for us. It's a difficult ground to bowl at. We've tried to find a recipe for it, but it's tough.”

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: "Not an ideal night. Few over par with the ball and unfortunately lost a few wickets throughout our innings. We were gonna bat first, it seems to be working for us. Before the last few wins, we were thinking that we were a bowl-first team. Didn't go our way. (Messaging to the group) I speak after wins, Dan (Vettori) speaks after losses. The boys have been going really well, it's T20 cricket, you are not going to win every game. Don't dwell on this too much. (High risk, high reward approach with the bat) I think it's our strong suit. It's not going to work every game. One or two games where it hasn't gone our way at the start, we still managed to get a good total. Still think this is the way forward for our boys."

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Shahbaz Ahmed finishes on 40 off 37 balls, it doesn't really matter what his strike rate was, this game was done and dusted well before he came out to bat. RCB have thus finally got their second win of the season. They would have probably liked to dismiss SRH earlier in the match and take some sweet NRR juice but then beggars can't be choosers. 

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: It takes forever for the 19th over to end, mainly because RCB review an obvious wide ball for the fourth delivery and it takes about seven minutes for the process to be completed. After determining that the ball had indeed passed about 3 feet above the batter's head, the third umpire then asks for ultra edge footage and that takes about 2 more minutes to come up. At the end of that extremely efficient process, the umpire's decision is upheld. Just four runs in that over in the end, Siraj finishes with figures of 0/20.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: SRH need 48 to win off the last two overs and they still have Shahbaz Ahmed out there. RCB have been poor in the field in the last two overs. Green's dropped catch for Bhuvi apart there have been a couple of overthrows as well. They couldn't possibly bottle this, could they? Shahbaz hits a six off the first ball of the 18th by Ferguson and sends it over deep midwicket. Three runs off the next three balls and then a lucky four for Unadkat.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 159/8 in 18 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Fifth ball of the 16th, Bhuvneshwar chips that to midwicket where Siraj takes it over his head. Wicket No.2 for Green and Bhuvi's little cameo ends. He has given a reminder that he can bat too.

Bhuvneshwar c Siraj b Green 13 (13)

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 141/8 in 15.5 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Karn Sharma ends his spell with figures of 2/29. He would have got three wickets had it not been for Green dropping Bhuvneshwar at slip off the third ball of that over. Bhuvi then sends the fifth ball to the midwicket fence for a four.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 124/7 in 13.1 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Oh what a catch that is from Mohammed Siraj at short third man! Cam Green ends his Australian captain's time in the middle. A bouncer from Green for the first ball of the 14th over after sending his first attempt at it wide. Cummins tries to help it over short third for a four, can't get enough wheels on it. Siraj runs back and takes the catch, makes it look much easier than what it was.

Cummins c Mohammed Siraj b Green 31 (15) SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 124/7 in 13.1 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well Cummins is going to stick to SRH's philosophy and so far, he has done pretty well. He moves to 29 off 10 at the end of that over, Shahbaz on 17 off as many. Karn Sharma returns to bowl the 12th, Cummins goes inside out over cover second ball for a four. Then he muscles the third ball over deep midwicket for a six.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 119/6 in 12 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well captain Cummins has decided that he is going to keep swinging for the horizons regardless of what happens. Swapnil bowls the 11th over, Cummins hits the fifth delivery just over Green's hands at deep midwicket. Then he hits the last one over wide long-on for another six. He is on 16 off six, Shahbaz is on 16 off 15. Is Cummins going to do a Stoinis here?

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 104/6 in 11 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Abdul Samad hits it straight back to Karn Sharma first ball of the 10th and that is pretty much that as far as any threat goes from SRH. Samad steps out, Karn sees it and sends in his delivery flat. Samad has to readjust but puts it back to the bowler.

Samad c & b Karn 10 (6)

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 85/6 in 9.1 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Nitish Reddy falls now and Karn Sharma strikes. Nitish tries to reverse sweep the second ball of the eighth but this one just rushes off the pitch at him and catches him unawares. Misses it entirely and the off stump is gone.

Nitish Reddy b Sharma 13 (13)

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 69/5 in 7.2 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well this isn't going well for SRH at all. Just six runs off the sixth over and SRH have scored 62 runs in the powerplay. But it has come at the cost of four of their most prolific batters. Shahbaz Ahmed is on three off two, Nitish Kumar Reddy on 10 off eight.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 62/4 in 6 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: An extraordinary over for RCB and they are now favourites in this match.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 56/4 in 5 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Swapnil Singh gets a wicket off just the second ball of his first over. Markram sends the first ball of the fifth past the point fielder for a four. Then he comes down the track but misses a full toss, ball hits the pads and Swapnil appeals, umpire raises his finger. Well that was a delivery that would have been pulverised on any other day, today, though, Swapnil has got a wicket with it and Virat Kohli can't stop laughing. Markram reviews though and it is three reds.

Markram lbw b Swapnil Singh 7 (8)

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 41/3 in 4.2 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Yash Dayal gets the big wicket and RCB have sent both of SRH's openers back before the end of the powerplay. Abhishek tries to pull the fourth ball of the fourth over away, it goes straight up in the air and it is a straightforward catch for wicketkeeper DK.

Abhishek Sharma c Karthik b Yash Dayal 31 (13)

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 37/2 in 3.4 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well this time Will Jacks is taken all around the park. Abhishek goes inside out over cover for a four off the first ball. It had dropped just short of the boundary. Then he smashes the next delivery over long-on for a humongous six. Four runs off the next three balls and then Abhishek creams the sixth ball over midwicket.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 31/1 in 3 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru:Just eight runs off the second over with Aiden Markram replacing Head. Abhishek got a four off the fourth ball of that over and he moves to eight off six at the end of it.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 11/1 in 2 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: How about that! Will Jacks dismisses Travis Head for one run! Jacks gets the last ball of the over to spin away, Head swings across the line and the ball takes the top edge. Karn Sharma takes the catch. What a start for RCB!

Head c Sharma b Jacks 1 (3)

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 3/1 in 1 over

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB have decided to start with a spinner, just as SRH did. It is Will Jacks bowling the first over, Travis Head has come in as impact sub for Natarajan, Abhishek Sharma at the other end.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB have crossed 200 for the third time in a row. In fact, this is their lowest score in their last three matches. The results in these other games? They lost to SRH by 25 runs and to KKR by one run. And so they would know that they are far from being out of the woods. Virat Kohli got off to a sensational start and then ended up not being able to hit any boundaries from the sixth over till the time he was out in the 15th over. However, Rajat Patidar's 50 off 20 balls, Cameron Green's unbeaten 37 off 20 and innings by Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh helped RCB undo the damage somewhat and get past the 200-run mark. Now it remains to be seen how ther underpowered bowling attack keeps SRH's overpowered batting in check. SRH haven't had to chase too often this season and so that is something that RCB can take motivation from.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Cummins makes sure that there will be no Dinesh Karthik for SRH to be weary of in the last over. Karthik fell off the second last ball of the 19th over on 11 off six. Natarjan to bowl the last over now, Swapnil Singh is on strike on one off one, Cameron Green at the other end on 36 off 19.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: In normal circumstances, we could say that RCB have already got to a good score. But considering the kind of ridiculous scoring rates we have seen from SRH this year, we could say that RCB would be hoping to get at least 30 more runs in the last two overs to give themselves a chance. DK with a four off the last ball of the 18th bowled by Natarajan. Karthik is on seven off four, Green is on 27 off 16.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 179/5 in 18 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well RCB are crashing and burning here. Lomror tries to go big off the third ball of the 17th, ends up holing out at deep midwicket. Out walks Dinesh Karthik, maybe RCB can get things going now. They have a good score on board but considering just how good SRH's batters are and how bad thier bowlers are, even 210 might be a below par score on this pitch.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 161/5 in 16.3 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Runs at alast for RCB and it has come off Pat Cummins of all people.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: And finally, Jaydev Unadkat ends Kohli's misery. He has been looking increasingly frustrated to try and find the boundary, finally pulls the fifth ball of the 15th into the hands of the deep square leg fielder.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Kohli was on 32 off 18 balls at the end of the powerplay and he has not been able to find the boundary even once since the end of the sixth over. He finally finishes the 15th over on 51 off 40 balls.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 136/3 in 14 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Unadkat gets the big wicket in his 100th IPL match. The fourth ball is a full toss and Patidar flicks it straight into the hands of deep square leg.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Shahbaz Ahmed returns for the eighth over, three singles off the first three balls and then Rajat Patidar slaps the fourth ball over the bowler's head for a four.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 73/2 in 8 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Mayank Markande with the seventh over and he bowls an absolute jaffa of a last ball. Slow delivery tossed up outside off, Jacks comes down for a big shot but is done by the lack of pace. He goes through the shot too quickly, misses the ball entirely and it crashes onto his off stump.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 10 runs in the last over of the powerplay, largely because of a beautiful lofted straight drive from Kohli for a six off the third ball of that over from Natarajan. Both batters run singles off the first two balls and Kohli lofts the third ball downtown for a six. Two singles after that and Kohli is on 32 off 18, Jacks is on four off six.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 61/1 in 6 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Shahbaz Ahmed keeps Will Jacks and Kohli pinned and these two overs have become a bit of a disaster for SRH. Just a single each for both batters. Jacks is on two off four, Kohli on 24 off 14.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 51/1 in 5 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: You live by the sword, you die by it. T Natarajan comes in for the fourth over and Kohli hits a four off the first ball before getting off strike off the second. Two consecutive dot balls after that and then Du Plessis tries to slap the fifth over cover. The bounce on it surprises him though and he ends up skying it into the hands of Markram at mid-off.

du Plessis c Markram b Natarajan 25 (12)

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 49/1 in 4 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well, Kohli and Du Plessis are following the playbook, smashing as many runs as possible off every single ball. Pat Cummins bowls the third over and his first two deliveries are sent to the boundary by Kohli. The first one is flicked over midwicket with some beautiful wrist work, then he goes inside out over cover for the second. Du Plessis take strike next ball and then scoops the fourth very fine for a six. Four runs off the next two balls and Du Plessis is on 25 off nine, Kohli on 18 off 9.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 43/0 in 3 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowls the second over and Du Plessis has laid into him.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 24/0 in 2 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli starts the over with a four through covers. Four singles after that and then two runs makes it 10 off the first over. A good start for RCB and they need a big, explosive stand from these two in the powerplay if they are to challenge this overpowered SRH batting lineup with their underpowered bowling lineup.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli is facing up and Faf du Plessis is at the other end. SRH start off with Abhishek Sharma.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: If you wanted to gauge just how well things are going for SRH at the moment without looking at their batting numbers, you only needed hear that crowd roar when it was Cummins's turn to talk. 

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Cummins says that SRH have brought in Jaydev Unadkat for Washington Sundar. 

SRH XI: Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Nitish Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins(c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Faf du Plessis says that RCB have not made any changes to the team that faced KKR in their previous match. This means Glenn Maxwell continues to sit out. 

RCB XI: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Will Jacks, Dinesh Karthik(w), Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Faf du Plessis has won the toss and RCB are batting first.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Somehow, RCB have followed the time-tested strategy of not having a strong bowling attack and putting unrealistic hopes on their batting lineup, which, as time has already told them, doesn't work. And yet, they stay true to the strategy all the same. Our statsman Nikhil Narain says that RCB this season have the worst economy rate of 10.8, the worst bowling average of 47.5 and the worst economy in the powerplay of 10.8.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Sunrisers batters have struck at 177.79 this season. This is the first time the combined strike rate of batters from a single team has breached the 170 mark in the IPL.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The two captains of the day have faced each other nine times in T20 cricket. It has been a very interesting battle, with Du Plessis being dismissed three times by Cummins but scoring 95 runs in 58 balls as well.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli scored 100 off 63 balls at this venue last season and has registered 50-plus scores in each of his last three T20 appearances here. Overall in T20s, he averages 59.20 at this venue.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB have used Patidar as a bit of a floater for much of the season. However, Patidar has played in his usual No.4 position in the last three matches and has scored wo quick fifties, including a 23-ball 52 against KKR in the last match.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Our stats man Nikhil Narine has dug this out. Feast your eyes and make of it what you will.

Kohli SR in T20s since 2021:

vs left-arm pace - 147

right-arm pace - 146.5

Chinaman - 135.5

off spin - 119.9

leg spin - 118.6

slow left arm orthodox - 103.5

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Statisticians and even common sense might tell you that strike rate is a pretty important metric in T20 cricket. After all, the point is to score as many runs as you can in 20 overs. However, players like KL Rahul have said that strike rates are overrated. In the middle of this debate is Virat Kohli's T20 strike rate, which has rarely gone into the kind of zone occupied by the likes of Andre Russell and Suryakumar Yadav. This year Kohli ended up getting a lot of criticism for scoring a century for RCB in 67 balls against RR in a game that they went on to lose quite comprehensively. His strike rate has improved though and it stands at 150.39 in eight matches, which is not bad at all.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Among the great contradictions this season would be that RCB are rock bottom in the league table with just two points in eight games. And yet, Virat Kohli has been top of the Orange Cap table for practically every day of this season. The former RCB captain has scored 379 runs at an average of 63.17 and strike rate of 150.39 with one century and two half-centuries.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Glenn Maxwell played six innings this season in which he scored just 32 runs at a strike rate of 94.11 and a puny average of 5.33.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Glenn Maxwell himself asked to be dropped from the RCB XI ahead of the last game between these two sides. It remains to be seen whether he feels he is ready to come back.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: SRH have been a battering ram of a batting unit this year and at its head have been Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. This season, the pair have smashed 404 runs, which is the most for any partnership. They have two century stands, which is the most for any pair and their strike rate of 254.1 is the second best for a pair (minimum 100 runs).

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB, somehow, came to the decision that not retaining Chahal ahead of the IPL 2022 auction might be a good idea. They retained Virat Kohli ( ₹15 crore), Glenn Maxwell ( ₹11 crore), and Mohammed Siraj ( ₹7 crore) but listed Chahal for the auction despite the spinner taking 139 wickets for the franchise in 113 matches at an average of 22.03 and economy rate of 7.58.

RCB's former director of cricket Mike Hesson has since stated that he will be frustrated about letting Chahal go throughout his career and maybe even after that. “It was one of those things where if you only retain three players, you give yourself an extra 4 crore in the auction. That potentially gave us the chance to get both Harshal and Yuzi,” he had said on Jio Cinema. He then said that they made a miscalculation during the auction which led to them not being able to buy back Chahal. And now RCB are bottom of the table.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Yuzvendra Chahal recently became the first player to take 200 wickets in the IPL. Nearly 70% of Chahal's wickets have come for RCB. And yet, here were are, RCB have a below par bowling attack and sitting bottom of the table while Chahal and Rajasthan Royals are sitting pretty at the top of the table. 

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB are up against arguably the most dangerous batting lineup in the league this year. Considering just how devoid of options they are in the bowling department, they could bring back pacer Alzarri Joseph for this game.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik(w), Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Siraj, Suyash Prabhudessai, Anuj Rawat, Himanshu Sharma, Swapnil Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Reece Topley, Tom Curran, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Mayank Dagar, Alzarri Joseph, Manoj Bhandage, Akash Deep, Saurav Chauhan, Rajan Kumar

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Nitish Reddy, Shahbaz Ahmed, Abdul Samad, Pat Cummins(c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan, Washington Sundar, Umran Malik, Anmolpreet Singh, Akash Maharaj Singh, Glenn Phillips, Mayank Agarwal, Jaydev Unadkat, Rahul Tripathi, Upendra Yadav, Jhatavedh Subramanyan, Sanvir Singh, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Marco Jansen

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH this season have been a revelation. After years of struggles in the IPL, the Pat Cummins-led team has been one of the most entertaining sides in the league. With an ultra-aggressive approach like no other, SRH have breached the 250-run mark thrice in the season so far, triggering discussions over whether this IPL can potentially see a first-ever 300+ score. SRH will certainly back themselves to produce another big score - given they bat first - when they take on the RCB.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of IPL 2024 Match 41, SRH vs RCB! The Sunrisers Hyderabad are favourites for the clash, thanks to their batting prowess. RCB, meanwhile, will look to avoid an eighth defeat in the season – and seventh in succession – as they reel at the bottom of the table.
