IPL 2024 Points Table
Rilee Rossouw scored a blistering 61 but Punjab Kings lost wickets at regular intervals, ultimately losing the match.
Earlier, Virat Kohli scored a scintillating 92 while Rajat Patidar chipped in with 55 as Royal challengers Bengaluru posted 241/7, the highest T20 score ever at Dharamsala. Harshal Patel starred with the ball with 3 wickets, all of which he got in the last over.
It must be noted Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are the joint-most successful teams in IPL history, with both sides clinching the title five times each.
Aside from these two, KKR has triumphed twice, while Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, and Deccan Chargers have each lifted the trophy once.
Despite boasting legendary figures in the shorter format such as Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, and others, Royal Challengers Bangalore have yet to claim the title despite reaching the final thrice in 2009, 2011, and 2016.
