RCB won't get anywhere close to the target. There will be more pace off deliveries. There is a method you use to bowl here. Cannot come here and bowl blindly on both sides.
 
Lol what a way to get out, Jack.. he's the only six hitter they've and he's gone early..
 
There is value for leggie on this ground. RCB's biiggest blunder among the many blunders they committed over 17 years is letting go of Chahal who was a beast on this batting paradise.
 
RCBs highest paid overseas picks..Maxwell, Green and Joseph, aren't even part of the 15. That's terrible waste of resources
 
Cummins has come a long way since he became the captain. He used to get thrashed in previous IPL editions. Now he has become much smarter with his bowling strategies. Putting on a clinic here.
 
Sunrisers Hyderabad broke the record for the highest Indian Premier League total for the second time this season by posting 287-3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Their score beat the 277-3 they made against Mumbai Indians last month.

Travis Head hit 102 from 41 balls and Heinrich Klaasen a 31-ball 67 while England's Reece Topley returned figures of 1-68 from his four overs.

Sunrisers' score is also the highest in a T20 franchise tournament.

It is the second-highest in any men's T20 - only bettered by Nepal, who scored 314-3 against Mongolia last year.
 
Travis Head smashed a brilliant century while Pat Cummins took three wickets as Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 25 runs after scoring the highest team total in the history of IPL.

SRH scored a mammoth 287/3 thanks to Head, who scored 102 off just 41 balls, and Heinrich Klassen, who also contributed with a brilliant half-century. In response, Cummins returned figures of 3/43 to help SRH defend their total.

Dinesh Karthik was the top scorer for RCB with a 35-ball 83, but it wasn't enough to chase down the massive target set by SRH.
 
Great game of cricket actually.

RCB forced to bat like men and they actually put up a great effort
 
Natarajan used to nail Yorkers

He’s lost that accuracy. Went for plenty
 
This season have produced the top 3 highest team totals in IPL history and we're not even reached half way mark in the season.

Sunrisers are a really really dangerous side with a lot of inform hitters. If only Maxwell had any kind of form RCB would also be dangerous. But he has totally gone off the boil.

Certain ingredients are must in T20

No.1 is leg spinner. Especially if a side has a lot of right handers.
 
Sunil Narine gets his hundred in 49 deliveries. Truly unthinkable before the start of this season
 
Lol hahahah what a farce this tournament is.
A bowler like Sunil Narine is scoring 100s for fun.
IPL really is ruining cricket.
 
Sunil Narine doesn't move his feet even an inch. What the heck is IPL doing to cricket.
 
In PSL, Shadab and Shaheen have some 50s

I guess our league has very tough bowling standards

So why are proper batsmen struggling on the same pitches?

It’s about hitting ability. Nadine has great hand and eye coordination. When the ball is not turning or moving, if you have great hands, you can hit through the line of the ball. Exactly what Narine did.
Royals have an international class bowling lineup. Give credit to him.
 
I love this ashwin and chahal getting some treatment from narine
Chahal goes brainless when batsmen attack him. He also doesn’t offer anything with bat or in the field.

I cringe whenever commies say that he should be in the T20 WC squad.
 
after yesterdays game where 549 runs scored in 40 overs , sick & tired of IPL - you need bowlers in the game !
198/5 & 2 to go so another 225-230 game loading !!!

off topic : Champu Seth , why is his wife in news all over social media ? What are these 2 trying to pull ?

India need to move away from chahal kuldeep better than him and ashwin case is more crazy when world cup arrive ashwin got selected out of nowhere
 
Tbf even Salt struggled today. Credit where it's due, Narine just picked on the wide lines from the Rajasthan bowlers
 
I actually know a Marwari in my town who is like 45 but looks so much like Naraine - same nose , eyes & lips - just the hairstyle & all that chains & jewellery is missing - lets see if $3 M Starc can get a early wicket today !
 
damn - Sangakarra in dugout digging his nose furiously ! 46/1 in 4 - KKR were 26/1 after 4
 
Lowkey I always support RR but they are never winning. They are like Kiwis of IPL.
 
This year, IPL pitches are worse, ridiculous. Batting is pretty easy.
It's rubbish, even the slow Chennai pitch has become a batting paradise. Those who score runs on these belters should not be taken seriously.
 
Centuries for KKR in IPL:

158*(73) - Brendon McCullum vs RCB, Bengaluru, 2008
104(51) - Venkatesh Iyer vs MI, Wankhede, 2023
109(56) - Sunil Narine vs RR, Kolkata, 2024
