Regarding PBKS’s innings, yesterday’s 60-run victory over Punjab was achieved by the RCB bowlers, who gave an outstanding display of bowling to bundle out Punjab for just 181 runs.

Prabhsimran Singh and Jonny Bairstow, the openers, could not muster much as they scored six runs off of four balls and seven runs off of sixteen balls, respectively.

IPL 2024 match between PBKS and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)
: After being dismissed by Punjab Kings, Rilee Rossouw, the previous captain of RCB, responded hilariously. The man wearing the orange cap imitated the celebration that Rossouw did after being out of the game on May 9 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium.
This is what transpired:
PBKS Rossouw honoured his half-century with a gun-style celebration during the game. With eight fours and two sixes, Rossouw reached his second fifty in just twenty-one balls. But Karn Sharma of the RCB removed Rossouw in the 8.6th over after Will Jacks made a catch. Rossouw finished with a strike percentage of 225.93, scoring 61 in 27 balls with nine fours and three sixes. The funny part, though, was when Kohli gave Rossouw back the same celebration after being removed.
