Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) snapped their six-match losing streak with a thumping 35-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2024 on Thursday night. Rajat Patidar's 20-ball 50, Virat Kohli's patient knock (51 off 43 balls) and Cameron Green unbeaten 37 off 20 deliveries were instrumental in taking RCB to 206/7 on two-paced track at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

They never really recovered from the early strikes and finished on 171/8 as RCB inflicted the first home loss on SRH this season. Green, leg-spinner Karn Sharma and Swapnil claimed two apiece for the winners.
