- Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been in a 4-match winning streak for the first time since the 2016 edition.
- This is the first match in this IPL in which a team won by a 10 wicket margin.
- Nine of the 16 games in this IPL have been won by teams chasing so far.
- Glenn Maxwell missed out on challenging for the Orange cap as he didn’t get a chance to bat as RCB didn’t lose a single wicket.
- Mohammed Siraj has been among wickets every alternate game in his 4 matches in this IPL so far. His 3-27 is the third instance he has claimed 3 or more wickets in his IPL career so far spanning 39 matches.
- Yuzvendra Chahal (124 IPL career wickets in 103 matches) has gone wicketless in 3 of the 4 matches he has played so far. This is also the first match in this IPL in which he didn’t finish his full quota of overs.
- Shivam Dube joined Ruturaj Gaikwad (in the previous game for Chennai Super Kings) to get some runs on board. His 46 is not only his best IPL score in 17 innings, but also the first instance in which he scored more than 27 runs, not ideal for a middle order batsman.
- Manan Vohra (7) continues to struggle as he has scored just 42 runs in his 4 matches.
- It’s flood or famine for Sanju Samson as he registered his third knock in the twenties in his last 12 innings. In the same timeframe he has scored a century, a half century, 4 single digit scores and a duck.
- David Miller was dismissed for his third duck in IPL and his second in his last 4 matches. Though he has been dismissed “LBW” in back to back game now, he was dismissed in that mode just 5 times in his 81 IPL innings.
- Devdutt Padikkal (101*) scored his first IPL ton. He has now scored 610 runs in 18 innings and has 5 fifties as well.
- Virat Kohli became the first batsman to score over 6000 runs in IPL. He leads the list by a sizable amount of runs as Suresh Raina is 573 runs behind him.
