KKR EQUALS RECORD OF SCORING MOST 220+ RUNS WITH CSK, SRH

A century stand by Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar could not prevent another heartbreaking loss for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), as they agonisingly fell short by just a run against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Sunday.

While batting first in the 36th encounter of the IPL 2024 against RCB, Shreyas Iyer-led side went on to score 222 runs in their 20 overs. The 222/6 is KKR’s joint highest total against Royal Challengers, equalling the 222/3 they posted in the inaugural IPL match in 2008.

By scoring this total they equalled the record of scoring 220+ runs three times in the history of IPL along with CSK and SRH.
