During the eagerly awaited showdown between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar‘s half-centuries propelled RCB to a commanding total of 206/7 in their allotted 20 overs.

Making his IPL debut for RCB, Swapnil Singh delivered a stellar bowling performance and claimed 2 wickets in his 3 overs at a crucial juncture of the game.

The comeback of Swapnil Singh

In the 5th over of the SRH innings, Swapnil delivered a half-volley to Heinrich Klaassen, who dispatched it for a towering six. However, on the very next delivery, Swapnil staged a remarkable comeback by dismissing Klaassen, who was caught by Cameron Green while attempting to play over mid-on.

RCB ends six-match losing streak against SRH

Opting to bat first, RCB set a target of 207 for SRH, powered by Virat‘s steady innings (51 off 43) at a strike rate of 118, and Patidar’s explosive contribution (50 off 20) with a blistering strike rate of 250, backed by five impressive sixes. Green added the final flourish with a rapid 37 off just 20 balls. Jaydev Unadkat shone for SRH, claiming 3 wickets in 4 overs while conceding only 30 runs.

This ensured RCB’s 35-run victory, with Patidar rightfully awarded the Player of the Match for his exceptional performance.
