ipl 2024 points table: orange cap with virat kohli but royal challengers bengaluru remain last, srh at 4th

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 went from bad to worse and the Faf du Plessis-led suffered a 25-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The visiting side rode on a brilliant century from Travis Head to register a big total of 287/3 on the board. Head smashed 102 off just 41 balls.

Chasing the target was going to be a tough task for RCB and they fell short by 25 runs. Dinesh Karthik did the job with the bat for RCB and scored 83 off just 35 balls. But his efforts were in vain and the home team lost.

All eyes were on Virat Kohli in this high-scoring game but he failed to convert his state into a big knock. The former RCB captain scored a quick 42 off 20 balls and departed just two balls after the powerplay. Kohli continues to hold the Orange Cap.
