HIGHLIGHTS – KKR vs RCB, Indian Premier League 2024: Fast half-centuries by Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar were not enough for Royal Challengers Bengaluru as they succumbed to an agonizing one-run defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders in their IPL match on Sunday. Jacks (55, 32b, 4×5, 5×6) and Patidar (52, 23b, 3×4, 5×6) kept RCB in hunt for but they could not chase down a daunting 223 target set by the KKR. RCB ended up at 221 all out despite a last over blitz by Karn Sharma (20, 7b, 3×6). Andre Russell grabbed three wickets (3/25) while   Sunil Narine and Harshit Rana grabbed two wickets apiece for the home side. Earlier, skipper Shreyas Iyer’s composed half-century and opener Phil Salt’s initial blitzkrieg enabled KKR to score 222/6. Salt smashed 48 off 16 balls while skipper Iyer scored 50 off 36 balls. Ramandeep Singh (24) and Andre Russell (27) took the KKR total past the 220-run mark. Cameron Green was the most successful bowler for RCB with figures of 2/35.
