IPL 2024: RCB vs. KKR live score: Shreyas Iyer, following the match
We were well-prepared for the previous game when we came here and had those two practice sessions. After hitting a few balls, it felt cozy inside out. It looked good when Russell arrived, saw that the wicket wasn’t yielding much to bowlers, and switched to slower ones while assessing the situation as it was happening. The exchange of ideas was excellent. As Narine enters to bat, he is aware that his only task is to clear the infield. We debated whether or not to start with him today, but he performed a fantastic job. He batted soundly from one end. It was two-paced, coming from the opposite end. We transmitted the middle-of-the-road communication to others. I’m planning to visit Bangalore for a day tomorrow, then go on to Vizag. Since the competition has just begun, I have no high expectations at this time. Right now, the plan is to celebrate each other’s successes.

Odd one: in the first innings, we believed that the wicket was two-paced, and it was evident from their struggles to bowl the cutters. Given that it becomes a little easier in the evening and that there is some dew coming in, we felt that the score was reasonable. Considering how we batted in the first inning, the lack of pace was making it difficult for even Virat to strike the ball. You can always say, “Try one or two things after the game,” but our bowlers were under pressure from the way Narine and Slat batted. With powerful cricket shots, they essentially ended the game. You should employ pace upfront while Narine is around. You cannot go into a spin. I think that’s a great fit for Salt’s style of play as well. They were outstanding, taking the game apart in the first six overs. Here, finger and Maxi spinning techniques can be useful, but at night, there wasn’t much spin.
When Venky was playing, we observed that he could bowl a spinner with a left-hand-right-hand combination. It felt like a simple hit against a left-arm spin. The ideal player would be able to spin the ball both ways, but given our team’s configuration tonight, it wasn’t an option. (About Vyshak) Excellent; he hasn’t had many chances. After looking at the first inning, we considered bringing in Karn Sharma. However, we believed that the most challenging bowler to face on this surface is someone who could bowl really well slower balls. Eighty percent of Dre Russ’s balls were cutters. He was the evening’s top bowler, and we learned a few things from him.
Live score for RCB vs. KKR in the 2024 Indian Premier League: KKR 186/3 (target 186): KKR wins by 7 wickets.
That’s right, folks—KKR defeated RCB at home once more. RCB never gave the impression that they would even come close to winning this game during the defense, and that is ultimately what happened. Despite all of the hype surrounding the rivalry between Kohli and Gambhir and the build-up to the game, RCB’s performance fell short of expectations. As of right now, KKR has won two straight, while RCB has lost two and won one.
