20:47 (IST) Apr 24
Jofra Archer to Tim David, FOUR! Not quite where David intended it to go, but he’ll take it. Short of a length and outside off, quick too, David looks to go up and over and gets an outside edge fine down to third man for a boundary. The extra pace working against Jofra yet again.
20:46 (IST) Apr 24
Jofra Archer to Tim David, Beaten! Hard length outside the off stump, zipping through off the deck, Tim David looks to drive but is beaten past the outside edge.
20:43 (IST) Apr 24
Strategic Break! RCB have done exactly what they’ve struggled with in recent games – dominate the middle overs, and they’ve done it in style today! With runs flowing freely, they’ve built a formidable platform, setting themselves up for a massive finish, especially with the kind of firepower still waiting in the dugout. Rajasthan Royals did strike gold with the crucial wicket of Virat Kohli, and they’ll be hoping that this breakthrough opens the floodgates. They desperately need a couple more quick ones to put the brakes on this RCB charge and regain some control. Tim David is promoted up the order and comes out to bat next for Royal Challengers Bengaluru!
20:42 (IST) Apr 24
Jofra Archer to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! Archer back into the attack, and he gets Kohli right away! Jogs in does Jofra Archer and bowls aleg cutter, slightly into the pitch and around off. Virat Kohli looks to ride the bounce and nonchalantly lift it over covers but ends up lobbing it straight to the fielder inside the ring. Nitish Rana takes the simplest of catches and a wonderful innings from Kohli comes to an end as he departs for 70 (42) and RCB are now 156/2. Could RR have brought Jofra on a bit sooner? Because the damage seems to be already done!

Riyan Parag to Devdutt Padikkal, Fired in at the pads, but this is just spilled down leg. Padikkal looks to sweep but misses. A wide is called but RR have reviewed it.

RCB vs RR Live Score, IPL 2025: Still reeling from a chastening home defeat to Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) struck back inside two days, humbling Shreyas Iyer’s side on their own turf. The rapid rebound preserves a curious pattern: after eight outings this season, Faf du Plessis’s men remain unbeaten in five matches on the road yet winless in three at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Historically, RCB’s home success rate hovered below 50 percent, and three consecutive losses have dragged it further.Adding salt to Bengaluru’s wounds is the sight of ex‑RCB heroes thriving against them. KL Rahul’s calm finishing, Mohammed Siraj’s incisive new‑ball bursts, and Yuzvendra Chahal’s guile have each proved decisive in inflicting damage on their former franchise.Thursday night’s visitors, Rajasthan Royals, arrive nursing problems of their own. The 2008 champions have slipped to four straight defeats, repeatedly squandering dominant positions. Captain Sanju Samson’s injury and stand‑in leader Riyan Parag’s struggles with both bat and tactics have amplified the slide.Yet Rajasthan field familiar faces capable of turning the screws in Bengaluru. Leg‑spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, once RCB’s strike weapon, and big‑hitting left‑hander Shimron Hetmyer both have points to prove. Overseeing them is hometown icon Rahul Dravid. Still moving gingerly after injuring his leg in a local KSCA league game, the mentor knows Chinnaswamy’s idiosyncrasies better than anyone. Dravid admitted, “We know we must play well to be still alive in this tournament. You need to play well in critical moments, and it hasn’t happened to us. Every game from here on is very important, and we’ve got to try and play the best cricket we possibly can and hopefully get the result.”
