Succumbing to a fifth straight defeat of the IPL 2024 season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru once again had a tough night, this time against Sunrisers Hyderabad, as they lost a record high-scoring encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday. With RCB bowlers getting ripped apart, Sunrisers Hyderabad piled up 287 for 3, the highest-ever total in the history of the Indian Premier League. During the all-important home game against SRH, Virat Kohli could be seen going through a range of raw emotions, from kicking the ground to yelling at his fellow RCB teammates, unleashing the pure frustration of watching his bowlers getting smashed to all parts of the ground. Kohli's face sported all kinds of looks - pain, disgust, disappointment, sorrow, and anger as RCB, despite coming close, lost the game by 25 runs.

Virat Kohli's anger and anguish on display as RCB face 5th straight loss in IPL 2024

During the high-scoring match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Virat Kohli looked frustrated, disappointed, angry, and helpless as SRH batters made easy work of RCB bowlers. The pitch was favourable for batting, and SRH broke their record of the highest team total in IPL history, which they set about three weeks ago against the Mumbai Indians. 

In an incredible batting display, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, Abhishek Sharma, and Abdul Samad led SRH to a massive total of 287/3 in just 20 overs. Amidst the chaos, Virat Kohli was caught on camera looking increasingly irritated at how the SRH batters dealt with the RCB bowlers. He kicked the ground, yelled at his teammates, and expressed frustration at how easily boundaries were conceded.

As always, Virat Kohli attempted to achieve the impossible. He started hitting boundaries from the first ball and gave Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) a great start with his partner Faf du Plessis. They scored 79 runs in the powerplay. Even though they had a good start, the required run rate was still 15 runs per over. Kohli kept trying to hit big shots and went for a leg-spinner Mayank Markande delivery, but lost his balance and missed the googly completely, getting bowled. He was out for 42 off 20 balls.

RCB gave a spirited fight to SRH even though they succumbed to their sixth defeat of the IPL 2024 season. After losing half their side for 122, the home team was kept in the fight by Dinesh Karthik, who entertained the local fans at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium with powerful hits as he blasted 83 off 35 balls, but RCB finished at 262/7 in 20 overs. SRH have picked up their fourth win of the season and are currently fourth on the points table.
