IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s RR vs RCB Match
Virat Kohli just 29 runs away to reach 8000 IPL runs milestone.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2024 Eliminator on Wednesday, May 24, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Both sides played in the 19th match of the ongoing IPL at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium, with the Rajasthan Royals defeating the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets.
Rajasthan Royals qualified for the playoffs because of their incredible winning streak in the first half. While their first half guaranteed them a playoff spot, they would be highly disappointed with their team’s shocking streak of defeats in the last five games.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru qualified for the playoffs by magically winning 6 out of their last 6 games. RCB, after a pathetic first half, finally made a comeback, pulling off the best comeback ever witnessed in this league.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be led by Faf Du Plessis, while Rajasthan Royals will be led by Sanju Samson. Both captains have to step up in this crunch game for their teams.
Here are some records that could be broken in the match:
1. Kohli Nearing 8000 IPL Runs
Virat Kohli, who is in the form of his life, has been breaking records time and again. He is 29 runs shy of reaching 8000 IPL runs.
2. Maxwell Targeting 50 Catches in IPL
Glenn Maxwell was amazing in the last game, taking a wicket off his first ball. He is three catches away from taking 50 catches in the IPL.
3. Ashwin Eyes 50 Catches
RR will need Ashwin‘s cricketing brain like never before in its most important game. He is three catches away from reaching 50 catches in the IPL.
RR and RCB will be playing an Eliminator game, and whoever loses this game will have to pack their bags despite a crazy run in the league stage. The winner of this match will face the loser of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2 at Chennai.
