Russell is bowled by Siraj! The delivery was a flawless yorker, leaving Russell with no chance as he attempted to back away and strike the ball. Siraj claims a vital wicket, and it couldn’t have come at a better time for RCB.
KKR would have been hoping for a better performance from Dre Russ, but unfortunately, his poor form continues. The ball was aimed right at the base of the stumps, and Russell failed to make contact. RCB will be delighted with this outcome.
On Wednesday, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face off against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in an IPL 2023 encounter. RCB, who suffered an eight-wicket defeat in a high-scoring match against Chennai Super Kings, have since won two consecutive matches and are looking to secure a hat-trick of victories.
Meanwhile, KKR, who have lost their last four matches and sit in the bottom half of the table with only four points from seven games, will be eager to turn their campaign around. The RCB team will be led by Virat Kohli, while KKR will be relying on spinner Suyash Sharma, who had an impressive IPL debut against the same opponent earlier in the season.

KKR began their innings with a flying start and it seemed like they were headed towards a score of 200 or more. However, Vyshak changed the game for RCB by taking out the rampaging Roy, who had scored a scorching 56 runs. RCB’s bowlers managed to bowl some tight overs, but unfortunately, they dropped Rana twice. He took advantage of the missed opportunities and quickly scored 48 runs, giving KKR the much-needed boost in their innings.
