RCB vs SRH Highlights: It was raining sixes in Bengaluru today. 38 sixes were hit in 40 overs today, and while most of the heavy lifting was done by the Sunrisers Hyderabad (22), the Royal Challengers Bengaluru did their bit as well. Pat Cummins and Co. scored 287 runs, the highest ever score registered in the IPL, and while the target looked too big to chase, the home side came close, eventually losing by 20 runs.
Doff your hat to Travis
Travis Head was at his destructive best against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The southpaw scored the fourth-fastest IPL century and the fastest for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL history. He led the team for his side, as they scored a record-breaking 287 runs and hit 8 of the 14 sixes they smashed.
Kohli fumes at RCB teammates
Seeing his bowlers get thrashed all over the park by SRH batters, Virat Kohli expressed his frustration. He was seen kicking the ground in anger, talking with someone on the boundary who was clearly unhappy, and even shouting at his bowlers for their horrendous performance.

Dinesh Karthik aging like fine wine
Maybe Dinesh Karthik shouldn’t retire. The 38-year-old, who’s about to retire after the IPL 2024 season, top-scored for the RCB, beating the likes of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. He smashed 83 runs in just 35 balls with a strike rate of 237.14, hitting 5 fours and 7 sixes.
Another Klaasy knock from Heinrich
Before Dinesh Karthik hit the longest six of the IPL 2024, Heinrich Klaasen had smocked a 106-meter that had reached the roof. His incredible knock was overshadowed by Travis Head’s brilliance, as he scored 67 runs in 31 balls. His power game was in full effect as he scored 2 fours and 7 sixes and remained unbeaten.
