Rajasthan Royals reached the playoffs 2 of the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League with a 4-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Wednesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

RCB made a score of 172 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs after being put to bat first by RR skipper Sanju Samson. Contributions from Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Mahipal Lomror helped RCB to the total as Avesh Khan picked up a three-fer. Rajasthan chased down the total with an over to spare thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 45-run knock. Riyan Parag added 36 runs before Rovman Powell’s unbeaten 16-run knock took his side over the line.

Rajasthan Royals will be the more pleased team after the first innings as they limited Royal Challengers Bengaluru to only 172 runs. Trent Boult bowled exceptionally well at the start of the innings, conceding very few runs and taking the wicket of Faf du Plessis. Chahal drew on his experience to dismiss Kohli before he could hit his stride. Avesh Khan, despite a slow start, bounced back in the end and took the important wickets of Rajat Patidar, Mahipal Lomror, and Dinesh Karthik.
