In Match 10 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, March 29, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by seven wickets to extend their winning streak in the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024). Virat Kohli’s outstanding innings helped RCB, who were given the opportunity to bat first, achieve a respectable score of 182/6 in the 20 overs permitted.
For their side, Andre Russell (2/29) and Harshit Rana (2/39) each claimed two wickets. With Venkatesh Iyer and Sunil Narine leading the way at bat, KKR ridiculed the goal totally in response, reaching it in just 16.5 overs. As a result, KKR won their second straight game of the season and moved up to the second position in the standings after two games played.
Here are some of the game’s best moments:
1. Virat Kohli maintains his outstanding form
The top batsman maintained his incredible form and scored another fantastic performance of 83* (59) with the aid of four fours and four sixes after smashing a match-winning 77 against the Punjab Kings. With 181 runs from three innings, Kohli became the Orange Cap holder of the season and tied the record for most sixes hit by an RCB batsman during his effort.

2. In the chase, Sunil Narine charges into action.
The club management has moved the all-round player up the order once more, this time under the guidance of former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir, who did the same for him in 2017. With both hands, the southpaw grabbed the chance and exploited the powerplay, hitting RCB bowlers all over the pitch. With the aid of two fours and five sixes, Narine struck a blistering 47 (22) to put his team firmly in the lead throughout the chase.

3. Venkatesh’s fast-paced fifty-yard strike puts KKR ahead.
With their team off to a scorching start with 86 runs for the first wicket off 39 balls from openers Sunil Narine and Philip Salt (30 off 20), the southpaw went into the bat. Iyer, who came in to bat, carried on the assault, hitting three fours and four sixes en route to scoring fifty off just thirty balls.
Venkatesh F-IYER 🔥🔥
