In IPL 2023 Highlights, Kolkata Knight Riders Secure a 21-Run Victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore, Resuming Their Winning Streak on Wednesday. Despite Chasing a Target of 201, RCB Could Only Score 179 for 8 in Their 20 Overs.
Varun Chakravarthy led the bowling attack for KKR with figures of 3/27, while Suyash Sharma and Andre Russell also contributed with two wickets each. Despite Virat Kohli’s impressive knock of 54 from 37 balls, which included six fours, RCB couldn’t capitalize on it as the other batsmen failed to form partnerships and make a significant impact.
During RCB’s innings, Mahipal Lomror played a crucial role by smashing three sixes and one four to score 34 runs off 18 balls while partnering with Kohli for 55 runs for the fourth wicket. KKR’s impactful substitute Suyash Sharma picked up two important wickets of Faf du Plessis (17) and Shahbaz Ahmed (2) within the powerplay, finishing with figures of 4-0-30-2.
