Virat Kohli, the former skipper of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), delivered a humorous response to Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter Rilee Rossouw following his dismissal during Match 58 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursda?y (May 9).

Rilee Rossouw’s cannonball celebration

In the exhilarating contest, RCB set a formidable target of 242 runs in 20 overs, fueled by the brilliant 92 from Kohli and the composed 55 from Rajat Patidar. In response, PBKS launched their chase with a strong start, amassing 75 runs in the powerplay, buoyed by Rossouw’s resilient half-century. On the third ball of the eighth over, Rossouw seized a full-toss from Cameron Green, sending it soaring ov?er deep mid-wicket for a maximum to reach his fifty. Following this milestone, Rossouw celebrated by m?imicking a cannonball launch, crouching on one leg in jubilation.

In the following over, Karn Sharma delivered a fuller leg break, tempting Rossouw to slog it down the ground. Unfortunately, Rossouw mistimed his shot, resulting in a top-edge that sent the ball flying towards the long-on region, where Will Jacks completed a routine catch. However, the real excitement unfolded afterward as Kohli swiftly sprinted towards Rossouw as he walked back to the pavilion, delivering a playful response. Witnessing Kohli animatedly mimic Rossouw’s earlier fifty celebration added an entertaining twist to the proceedings.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) revived their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign with a commanding triumph over Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Thursday. Playing at the picturesque HPCA Stadium, RCB put on a stellar performance, securing a resounding 60-run victory. This win marked RCB’s fourth consecutive triumph in the tournament, igniting hopes among their fans for a playoff berth.

Playoffs qualification scenarios for RCB

There are two favorable scenarios for RCB to secure a playoff spot. However, they won’t be unable to finish in the top two positions, as their maximum potential points tally can only reach to 14. As of May 10, both Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) have already accumulated 16 points each.

Scenario 1: Finish at the Third Spot

Securing the third ??spot requires the Challengers to not only win their remaining matches but als??o depend on other factors aligning in their favor. Let’s have a look at the series of dependencies for RCB to acquire the 3rd position:

• Sunrisers Hyderabad must lose all their remaining fixtures against Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings.
• Chennai Super Kings must suffer defeats in their upcoming matches against Gujarat, Rajasthan, and RCB.
• Delhi Capitals need to lose to RCB and Lucknow Super Giants.
• Lucknow Super Giants should beat Delhi but lose to Mumbai Indians.

If these outcomes align favorably for RCB, they stand a chance to clinch the third p??osition in the standings, with LSG likely to finish fourth. Even if DC defeat Lucknow, RCB can secure the third spot unless Delhi possesses a superior Net Run Rate (NRR) compared to RCB.

Scenario 2: Finish at the Fourth Position

For RCB to secure the fourth playoff ?spot, they need to encounter a sequence of co?nditions that need to be met:

• Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings must lose all their remaining matches.
• If both teams accumulate at least 16 points, RCB’s chances diminish.
• However, if one team finishes with 16 or 18 points and the other with 14, RCB’s playoff aspirations remain alive.
• In such a scenario, RCB would be part of a three-way tie at 14 points.

The key determinant in this scenario would be RCB’s NRR, which should surpass that of Chennai Super Kings/Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants/Delhi Capitals. RCB will be rooting for Lucknow to triumph over Delhi Capitals on May 14, as Lucknow possesses an inferior NRR.

In his latest appearance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Virat Kohli, the luminary of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), further solidified his supremacy with a dazzling performance against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 58 on Friday (May 9). Kohli’s exceptional innings, embellished with a breathtaking display of skill and precision, exerted immense pressure on the PBKS team, exposing their vulnerabilities on the field. His sublime knock of 92 runs off just 47 deliveries, showcased at the magnificent setting of Dharamsala, was a testament to his unrivaled talent and unwavering determination.

Early challenges and lifelines

Kohli’s innings, however, didn’t commence on the most auspicious note, as he encountered early challenges against the PBKS. Twice within the early stages of his innings, Kohli found himself offered lifelines by the opposition. The first reprieve came when Ashutosh Sharma failed to grasp a catch after Kohli skied a delivery from debutant Vidhwath Kaverappa. Shortly after, Kohli survived another scare as Rilee Rossouw nearly pulled off a spectacular catch off Kaverappa’s bowling.

Shift in momentum: Powerplay onslaught

Following his initial setbacks, Kohli swiftly shifted gears, capitalizing on the powerplay by unleashing an onslaught against PBKS’ bowling attack. His assault began with a boundary off Sam Curran‘s bowling in the fourth over, signaling his intent to seize control of the proceedings. Despite losing partners such as Faf du Plessis and Will Jacks, Kohli persevered until he found an ideal ally in Rajat Patidar. Patidar, despite surviving an early catch scare, complemented Kohli’s aggression with his own devastating stroke play, propelling the RCB’s score past the 100 runs mark within nine overs. Patidar’s blistering fifty off just 21 balls further bolstered the team’s total before his departure, leaving a significant impact on the match.

Partnership dynamics

As the partnership flourished, Kohli’s momentum encountered a temporary disruption due to rain and hailstorms, halting the game after the completion of ten overs with the score standing at 119/3. Resuming play alongside Cameron Green, Kohli gradually regained his rhythm, punctuating his innings with two consecutive boundaries against Liam Livingstone. The Indian stalwart then unleashed a flurry of boundaries and sixes, captivating the crowd with his exquisite stroke play. His sublime batting display, exemplified by a majestic  two sixes off Curran’s bowling, reignited the atmosphere in the stadium.

Virat Kohli’s dominance and a century miss

Kohli’s batting prowess was particularly pronounced on the leg-side, a domain where he exhibited sheer dominance against the bowling onslaught of Curran. Despite Curran’s best efforts, Kohli’s relentless assault persisted, driving home the advantage with boundaries and sixes that left the bowler reeling. With his sights set on a century, Kohli seemed destined for cricketing immortality as he dispatched deliveries from Arshdeep Singh for a boundary and a six. Nevertheless, fate had other plans, as his innings culminated at 92 runs when?? Rossouw clung on to a crucial catch, denying Kohli the milestone he so fervently pursued.

Contributions to RCB’s score against PBKS in the IPL 2024

Nevertheless, Kohli’s contribution proved monumental as RCB effortlessly breached the 200 runs mark, propelled by his seven boundaries and six towering sixes. Green’s valiant knock of 46 runs further complemented Kohli’s heroics, propelling RCB to a competitive score of 241/7 in their allotted 20 overs, thereby fortifying their quest for supremacy in the tournament.

Record-breaking performance

In addition to his on-field exploits, Kohli etched his name in the annals of IPL history by becoming the first player to amass over 600 runs in this season, amassing a staggering total of 634 runs from his 12 outings. This remarkable feat not only underscored Kohli’s unparalleled consistency but also elevated him to a league of his own, as he equaled KL Rahul‘s record of surpassing the 600 runs mark for the fourth time in IPL history.

Kohli is the greatest batter of this generation & it shouldn't even be up for debate. He always has that hunger to succeed & always makes adjustments when there is criticism & keeps striving to do better. It's unbelievable that someone this good gets slandered.

— TakeADeepBreath (@DeepTake) May 9, 2024

Virat Kohli's innings is an illustration of modern T20 cricket. He is 92(47) and the old way would have been to play for a 100. But in T20 cricket, 100 isn't a landmark, it isn't something that should hold you up. So he goes for the big shot, gets caught, but he's played his�?/p>

The highly anticipated showdown between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) unfolds at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. Both teams are battling to sustain t?heir dimming hopes of reaching the playoffs.

Pressure intensifies on PBKS and RCB

With Mumbai Indians (MI) becoming the first team to be knocked out of the final four race, the stakes are higher than ever for the competing teams. The loser of this clash will join MI in the unfortunate category, facing an early exit from the tourna?ment. PBKS, coming off a defeat against CSK, are already grappling with a compromised position in the play-offs race. Meanwhile, RCB enter the field with a vital momentum, boasting a three-match winning streak.

Toss and playing XI changes

Sam Curran, the skipper of PBKS, won the toss and opted to bowl first in this crucial encounter against RCB. Both teams have made a change in their playing XIs. Punjab opted to leave out their esteemed pacer Kagiso Rabada, while RCB sidelined Glenn Maxwell.

Absence of star players explained

Although both captains refrained from explicitly mentioning the reasons behind the absence of Rabada and Maxwell, it appears that current form played a significant role. Rabada, who has struggled to make a mark as expected, has only managed to secure 11 wickets in 11 matches with an economy of 8.86. Similarly, Maxwell, known for his e?xplosive batting and handy off-spin, has been underwhelming for RCB, accumulating a mere 36 runs in 8 games and claiming only 5 wickets.
