Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) seized a dominant victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), halting SRH’s four-match winning streak in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. This breakthrough came after RCB’s six consecutive losses this season. Following the match, fans celebrated RCB’s triumph in SRH’s signature style at their home ground in Hyderabad.
