SRH vs RCB IPL 2024 Highlights: Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli shine as Bengaluru end their losing streak

I was just keeping things in my mind that control the controllables. Whenever I go back home, I try to solve every problem which I faced. I go for skilful batting setup. Nothing like that (plan to target spin?). Today I was backing myself to be in good shape against every bowler.

I forgot I had to speak at the presentation. Every game I just speak after it and walk away. The SRH game was 270+ and we got to 260, then the KKR game as well, just one run. We've been close for a while but you need to win matches to get confidence in the group. Massive win for us. When you're not winning it does affect you mentally, it does affect your confidence. You can't speak confidence into the group, you can't fake confidence into the group. The only thing that gives confidence is performance. 

Despite a loss, SRH maintain their third position in the points table with 10 points, on level with KKR and LSG.

A win keeps RCB at the bottom of the table with fours points in 9 games.

Not an ideal night. Few over par with the ball and unfortunately lost a few wickets throughout our innings. We were gonna bat first, it seems to be working for us. Before the last few wins, we were thinking that we were a bowl-first team. Didn't go our way. (Messaging to the group) I speak after wins, Dan (Vettori) speaks after losses. The boys have been going really well, it's T20 cricket, you are not going to win every game. Don't dwell on this too much. (High risk, high reward approach with the bat) I think it's our strong suit. It's not going to work every game. One or two games where it hasn't gone our way at the start, we still managed to get a good total. Still think this is the way forward for our boys.

It's been awesome, good to be back here. It's my first year here. The amount of people wearing orange, feels like a good place. We want to bat the same way. We have to adjust quicker as a bowling side. Unadkat comes in for Washington Sundar.

We are gonna bat first. We feel like our fans go with us everywhere. These boys (SRH) have been playing some amazing cricket, especially batting. Hopefully we can put some scoreboard pressure on them. They've been batting really well when they've been setting scores. I was really proud with the way we played the previous game. We fought really hard with ball in hand. Two games in a row now, we've put some really good scores. Same team as the previous game.

Here are the Impact substitutes for both the teams:

Sunrisers Hyderabad Impact Subs: Umran Malik, Anmolpreet Singh, Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Travis Head

SRH faced RCB only 10 days ago on April 15 and the cricketing world witnessed history. SRH opener Travis Head slammed a century and they went on to post the highest ever total in the history of IPL. SRH smashed 287 runs in their 20 overs. RCB chased the score well and reach 262 runs in their 20 overs before going down by 25 runs.

It has been a close affair between SRH and RCB in IPL history

The two teams have faced each other 24 times so far. SRH have won 13 matches while RCB have emerged victorious on 10 occasions. 1 match ended in no result. Can RCB reduce the deficit tonight?
