Rajasthan Royals ended Virat Kohli’s hopes of winning his first Indian Premier League title when they beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by four wickets in the playoff.
Players greet each other at the end of the Indian Premier League eliminator cricket match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad, India, Wednesday, May 22, 2024. Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag plays a shot during the Indian Premier League eliminator cricket match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad, India, Wednesday, May 22, 2024.
Rajasthan stuttered briefly in dewy conditions when Mohammed Siraj picked up the wickets of Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer in the 18th over before they reached 174-6 with an over to spare. Rovman Powell struck Lockie Ferguson for two fours and followed it with a straight six to end Rajasthan’s four-match losing streak.
Rajasthan, meanwhile, had won eight of their first nine games before losing four in a row. They will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in qualifier 2 on Friday with the winner advancing to Sunday’s final against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Parag and Hetmyer then raised 45-run stand but Siraj’s twin strike gave Bengaluru a glimmer hope before Powell’s three decisive blows against Ferguson ended Bengaluru’s dream comeback into the tournament.
