Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2024
The IPL 2024 season for RCB was filled with ups and downs. In the first seven matches, the team created a disappointing record by losing 6 of the seven matches played and was at a point where they needed to win all of the upcoming matches to reach the playoffs. After that, a turnaround that no one would ever have expected happened, as RCB won 16 matches in a row and qualified for the playoffs, though the team lost to Rajasthan Royals in the eliminator. In the first match of the season, RCB defeated Kolkata Knight Riders dominantly, especially with a performance from Virat Kohli and Phil Salt, who batted explosively while chasing the target.
