While the Knight Riders’ middle order collapsed against Royal Challengers Bangalore and their bowling unit struggled—allowing a target of 174 to be chased in just 16.2 overs—the Royals had a disastrous start against Sunrisers Hyderabad, conceding 90 runs in the Powerplay and failing to chase a record total.
Although Sanju Samson, who played the match as an impact substitute, and Dhruv Jurel impressed, RR still fell short by 44 runs.
