Royal Challengers Bengaluru produced one of the most emphatic victories of Tata IPL 2024 as they routed Gujarat Titans by 9 wickets at Narendra Modi stadium.

Earlier RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to field first . GT got off to dismal start with opener Wriddhiman Saha out for 5 . Skipper Shubman Gill too did not last long out for 16 . Thanks to Sai Sudharsan not out 84 ( 49 balls , 8 fours, 4 sixes) and Shahrukh Khan 58 ( 30 balls , 3 fours, 5 sixes) GT reached a competitive total.

Big hitting David Miller provided the late finishing with a timely cameo of 26 ( 19 balls , 2 fours, 1 six) not out. GT reaching an impressive 200/ 3 in their 20 overs.

RCB Bowling :  Swapnil Singh 1/ 23 ( 3 overs),  Mohammed Siraj 1/ 34 ( 4 overs), Yash Dayal 0/ 34 ( 4 overs), Glenn Maxwell 1/ 28 ( 3 overs), Karn Sharma 0/ 38 ( 3 overs), Cameron Green 0/ 42 ( 3 overs)

 

In reply RCB batsmen sent GT bowlers  on  a leather hunt . RCB lost skipper  Faf du Plessis early for 24 ( 12 balls , 1 four, 3 sixes) with the total at  40 -1, 3.5 overs. For GT this was the only wicket they got.  As Virat Kohli and Will Jacks produced a sensational batting performance. The duo toyed  with GT bowling  with shots all- round the wicket and match- winning partnership.

GT bowlers had no answer to the onslaught . Consistent Virat Kohli continues to  hold on to the orange cap as he scored yet another impactful innings . Kohli remained not out with   masterly  70 ( 44 balls , 6 fours, 3 sixes) .

But it was Will Jacks who stole the show with his striking  power . Jacks unleashed brute force and was not out  with a stunning 100 ( 41 balls , 5 fours and 10 sixes) . It was a blazing knock that blew away GT .  RCB reaching  206/ 1 in 16 overs.  Romping home by 9 wickets .

GT bowling  figures : Azmatullah Omarzai 0/ 18 ( 2 overs), Sandeep Warrier 0/ 15 ( 1 over), Sai Kishore 1/ 30 ( 3 overs), Rashid Khan 0/ 51 ( 4 overs) a rare off- day. Noor Ahmad 0/ 43 ( 4 overs) , Mohit Sharma 0/ 41 ( 2 overs) was hammered all over .
