That shouldn't come as a surprise. Jos Buttler is our player of the match with 100* from just 58 balls with nine fours and four sixes. Getting the monkey off his back after some poor outings previously. But this one, he would take any day. RCB had no answer to his masterclass.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Summary

It was a game were not just runs but tons were scored. Not one but two. By two of the greatest, Jos Buttler and Virat Kohli. RCB started wonderfully with Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli getting their side's score to 125. Despite quick wickets here and there, Virat continued to attack and smashed a century from 67 balls. His superhuman effort took RCB to 183 after the end of 20 overs.

In reply, RR lost one early in form of Yashasvi Jaiswal but Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson formed a 148-run stand for the second wicket as they were closer to the victory. However, after Samson fell, two more followed but that didn't let RCB runaway with the match as Jos Buttler smashed a sensational century with a six to take his side to victory by six wickets.

RR: 189/4 (19.1) Jos Buttler is elated and so is Ian Bishop on air. The entire Jaipur is on their feet. Because Buttler has smashed that for six. And guess what, he gets to his hundred too!! Two in the day but this one coming off just 58 balls. Hundred in his 100th game. He has lit up Jaipur with Pink Royal! RR win by six wickets!

RR vs RCB Live Score: Scores Level, Final Over

RR: 183/4 (19) One needed off the last over. Cameron Green to bowl. Buttler on 94. He will go for the big shot. You bet. Surely, we feel a big hit coming. Do you?

RR vs RCB Live Score: Do you think so?

RR: 175/4 (18) 9 needed from 12 balls. You can't lose from here. Jos Buttler is at the crease. He should be able to do it. He's on 92, btw.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Topley Strikes Again, Jurel Fails

RR: 164/4 (16.3) Things are turning all of a sudden. Dhruv Jurel is gone too. But that must not hurt RR. We hope not because they are in a very dominant position. Almost run-a-ball required. Can't mess this from here.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Dayal Picks Parag, No Fireworks Today For Show-stopper

RR: 155/3 (15.4) Is there something left in this game for RCB? Surely not. RR are heavily in control of the game. Should just be formality.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Samson Holes Out After Fighting Knock

RR: 148/2 (14.4) Finally some respite for RCB. Sanju Samson tried hooking one but couldn't clear the fence. Won't hurt their chances though. They are better placed now, thanks to this man. He walks back for 69 from 42 balls.

RR vs RCB Live Score: What's going wrong for RCB?

RR: 145/1 (14) Spinners going for runs, plenty of them. Pacers unable to strike at required times and batters playing slowly (Don't blame us). They need some firepower in the middle.

RR vs RCB Live Score: 60 from 48, Easy?

RR: 124/1 (12) Buttler and Samson are punishing every bowler that is coming in their way. They are finding boundaries for fun now! So good to watch! Bring on the popcorn, please.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Samson Gets In His Groove And Brings His Half-Century

RR: 109/1 (11) Sanju Samson is good. No, he is better. Nah, he is the best with those kind of shots. Mayank Dagar having a day that he would want to forget soon. RR are cruising and RCB feel they are already out of this game! Hundred up too!

RR vs RCB Live Score: Buttler Announces His Arrival In Form With Fifty

RR: 95/1 (10) If there is class, there is Buttler! He is that good. Fifty on announce that he is back and he belongs here. RCB finding options at the moment.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Buttler & Samson Stitching A Partnership

RR: 77/1 (8) For the first time this season, Buttler has got a start and he would want to utilise it well. Runs are flowing, btw. Samson went after Himanshu Sharma in the last over. They are just looking at the target. Some bad news for RCB, dew is here!

RR vs RCB Live Score: That's How He Plays!

RR vs RCB Live Score: Buttler Butters Dagar For 20 Runs In The Over

RR: 54/1 (6) Jos Buttler had never looked so comfortable ever before. He musters Mayank Dagar for whopping 20 runs in the sixth over. Three fours and a six. 130 in 84 balls.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Sanju Starts Positively

RR: 16/1 (3) Sanju Samson id doing what he does regularly. These are just some terrific shots from the RR skipper. They need him to stay till the end. Buttler at the other end is out of form too, maybe, he should spend some time in the middle.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Jaiswal Didn't Even Let Us Complete

RR: 0/1 (0.2) Didn't even let us write the opening lines and Yashasvi Jaiswal is walking back with a poor shot against Reece Topley. Another failure for youngster in this IPL and RR are in deep trouble early on.

RR vs RCB Live Score: RCB Finish on 183, Kohli Remains Unbeaten

RR need 184 runs to win (Source: IPL)

RCB: 183/3 (20) Fourteen off the last over and RCB finish on 183. Kohli found three fours in the last over too. That is a good finish. They must be happy with that effort considering the kind of pitch it was. Looked like a flat one but it wasn't. They started extremely well with Faf and Virat going after the bowlers. They brought up a hundred plus run stand and soon, Faf departed with Maxwell not able to stay there for long too. 

Debutant Saurav Chauhan smacked a six and went back but even after that, it was just the King Kohli show who smashed his eighth IPL hundred and played his part to get the final flourish as he finished on 113*. In the end, they finished on 183, setting a target of 184 for Rajasthan Royals to win. Stay Tuned.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Hundred For The King 👑

RCB: 169/3 (18.4) Just 67 balls to get to his eighth IPL hundred! That's the class of the man in supreme form. You can't ever keep him out of the game. T20 World Cup doubts? Anyone? That's some batting. RCB need some runs though!

RR vs RCB Live Score: Yuzi Chahal Substituted For Shubham Dubey

RCB: 165/3 (18) Good spell but ruined but a classic six by Kohli after the last wicket. He finishes his four overs with figures of 2/34. Shubham Dubey has been called in as the impact sub in his place.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Chahal Strikes Again As RCB Lose Third

RCB: 155/3 (17.2) Chahal is putting the hard yards in as he gets the debutant Saurav Chauhan. Can they squeeze the RCB batting line-up or will King Kohli go big in the remaining overs?

RR vs RCB Live Score: Kohli Breaks Avesh's Confidence

RCB: 144/2 (16) Three fours from the great man and he is inching towards his hundred. Avesh Khan is going all over the park here. RCB are racing with some good runs. 

RR vs RCB Live Score: Kohli Did An Ashwin To Ashwin!?

RR vs RCB Live Score: Maxwell Fails, Yet Again

RCB: 128/2 (14.5) This season is not Maxwell friendly and it is evident. Another failure for the Aussie as Burger knocks his stumps over for just 1. Second wicket in quick succession for Rajasthan.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Du Plessis Gets A Life But Perishes Next Delivery

RCB: 125/1 (14) Finally. Finally. Finally, a wicket for Rajasthan. Trent Boult dropped Faf on the last delivery and on the very next ball, Jos Buttler held onto one at long-on. If you ever get a life, don't use it like du Plessis. Btw, it's Chahal with the wicket.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Breather Time

RCB: 115/0 (13) RR have no idea on how to get past these two. Virat, as usual has been in supreme form while Faf is finding the middle on several occasions. Ashwin has been economical like always but who will get the wickets? That's a question RR are thinking about?

RR vs RCB Live Score: All Hail The King!👑

RCB: 96/0 (10.4) Fifty up for Virat Kohli in style as launches Riyan Parag for a massive six down the ground. Just 39 balls to get there. Third six for him tonight and his third fifty this season. He has been in some form.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Boult Going For A Ride

RCB: 79/0 (9) Sixteen runs off the ninth over as Faf du Plessis is peaking at the right time. Two sixes in this over. Wow! Trent Boult just can't believe it. We can't either.

RCB: 53/0 (6) They are running away with this. Faf and Kohli are going at a good rate and runs are coming decently. They must be aiming at 200 from here onwards. Or Maybe even more. Strategic Timeout taken too.

RR vs RCB Live Score: RCB Off To A Flyer As King Finds Middle

RCB: 42/0 (4) Kohli and Faf finding their way in the middle with boundaries off both bowlers Boult and Burger. And Boult has been removed from the attack that too in the powerplay.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Burger Vs King?

RCB: 21/0 (2) No, we are not endorsing Burger King or in any way, McDonald's. It was actually Nandre Burger getting smashed for two boundaries by King Kohli.

RR vs RCB Live Score: Faf Gets Better Of Boult!

RCB: 8/0 (1) Faf finds a boundary and Boult fails to get a wicket in the first over. Maybe one of those days. What was your vote?

RR vs RCB Live Score: What do you think?

Will Trent Boult strike? (Source: IPL)

RR vs RCB Live Score: King Kohli Walks Out With Faf du Plessis

No marks for guessing. It's Virat Kohli to face the first ball and you dare it, dreaded Trent Boult is with the ball. Can he get another wicket in the first over?

RR vs RCB Live Score: Jaipur's Pitch Report

Deep DasGupta on air said,

"This has been a 180-kind of a surface. A big venue though. 69m and 63m square boundaries and 76m down the ground. It's a hard surface with a bit of grass cover on it, looks well prepared. You'll get high scoring games at this venue and the batters will relish batting here. Something in it for the fast bowlers as they'll get some extra bounce with the new ball. The spinners will get some turn as well. It looks a bit patchy with a few dry areas. The big boundaries are an encouraging sign for the spinners."

RR vs RCB Live Score: What's in Store?

A high-flying Rajasthan Royals side, after three victories in three games in the IPL 2024, will go up against troubled Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who have lost their last two games.

Rajasthan, who have played three games so far are placed second on the table with victories over Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. They are riding high on the success of long-awaiting talent Riyan Parag, who has led them with three terrific knocks.

Bengaluru, on the other hand, are 8th placed at the moment with three losses to their name whereas their sole victory came up against the Punjab Kings. Their major area of concern is batting, which has not been able to stay up to the expectations as they would have liked.
