New Delhi. Royal Challengers Bangalore has faced its second defeat in IPL 2024. KKR defeated RCB by 7 wickets in the 10th match of the league. Earlier, Bangalore was defeated by Chennai Super Kings. RCB batsmen scored 182 runs against KKR. But its bowlers ruined the team’s fortunes. KKR achieved the target with 19 balls remaining. RCB’s main fast bowler Mohammad Siraj kept yearning for wickets. He gave away 46 runs in 3 overs but still did not achieve any success. Former England captain Michael Vaughan, after seeing the poor performance of RCB bowlers, said that it is impossible for this team to win the IPL trophy.
In this match played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, the situation was such that the leader of the bowling attack of the RCB team, Mohammad Siraj could not even complete his quota of 4 overs. Seeing Siraj getting beaten by the KKR batsmen, captain Faf du Plessis removed him after just 3 overs. Yash Dayal had to spend 46 runs for 1 wicket while Alzarri Joseph gave away 34 runs in 2 overs.
