In a thrilling encounter at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) received a significant boost to their playoff aspirations as Virat Kohli's scintillating century guided them to an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Chasing a target of 187, RCB showcased a remarkable batting display, with Kohli smashing 100 runs off just 63 balls, ably supported by captain Faf du Plessis' impressive knock of 71 off 47 deliveries. The win propelled RCB to the fourth position in the points table, tied with Mumbai Indians at 14 points.
Will RCB and MI secure playoff berths with a win in their final league fixture, or will Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders, or Punjab Kings snatch the coveted spots with a combination of victories and a favorable net run rate?
