Fans on Twitter reacted after Royal Challengers Bengaluru emerged victorious in the 58th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. They defeated the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 60 runs at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala to keep themselves alive for the playoffs.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru didn’t have a great start to their innings as they lost skipper Faf du Plessis (9) early. Will Jacks (12), who came to bat at three, tried to get going but couldn’t get going as he too fell early.  The team came under pressure and were left tottering at 43/2. 

However, after that, Virat Kohli (92) and Rajat Patidar (55) changed the complexion of the game. The Kohli-Patidar duo added 76 runs for the third wicket and brought Royal Challengers Bengaluru back into the game at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. 

After Patidar got out, Cameron Green (46) joined Kohli and they did further carnage. Based on their terrific 92-run partnership, Bengaluru posted a total of 241 runs on the board. For Punjab Kings, Harshal Patel was the pick of the bowlers with his figures of three for 48. 

In the chase, Punjab Kings had a poor start as they lost Prabhsimran Singh (6) in the first over. After that, Jonny Bairstow (27) and Rilee Rossouw (61) brought the team back into the game. The Bairstow-Rossouw duo added 65 runs and made sure that they kept the run rate high. 

Shashank Singh (37) looked in great touch but he was undone by the brilliance of Virat Kohli in the field. Punjab Kings kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were left tottering at 164 for seven with RCB bowlers on the top. 

Skipper Sam Curran tried his best but couldn’t take his team home. Royal Challengers Bengaluru bundled out Punjab Kings for 181 and won the game by 60 runs to keep themselves in the hunt for playoffs.
