Original Content: IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s PBKS vs RCB Match

The 58th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings at HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. The match is scheduled for May 9th, starting at 7:30 pm.

Both Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are sailing in the same boat with similar situations. Both teams have 8 points with 4 wins each and need to win all their remaining games with a tremendous net run rate to make it to the playoffs.

A loss here for either team would end their season. RCB is in 7th position while PBKS is in 8th position. RCB has been on a winning spree recently, while PBKS lost their last game in a shocking defeat against CSK.

Punjab Kings lost the last game against CSK, falling for their spin trap and failing to chase a gettable score. None of their batsmen could even score a half-century in the last game, and PBKS would like to learn from it.

RCB, on the other hand, is high on momentum after consecutively defeating GT in a one-sided fashion. RCB is peaking well at this stage, and their only worry is thinking if it’s too late.

Here are some records that could be broken in the match:

1. Faf Eyes 4500 IPL Runs

Faf Du Plessis, who looked in tremendous touch in the last game, has finally returned to form. Faf du Plessis (4485) needs another fifteen runs to reach 4500 runs in IPL.

2. Maxwell to Take 50 Catches in IPL

Glenn Maxwell is a brilliant fielder known for his acrobatic fielding and jaw-dropping catches. Maxwell is three catches away from taking 50 catches in IPL.

3. Livingstone Hitting 1000 IPL Runs

Liam Livingstone has been a liability for PBKS this entire season, and they would hope he finally fires in the remaining games. Liam Livingstone (939) needs another 61 runs to reach 1000 runs in IPL.

Both teams would fancy their chances with a win here, but a loss would guarantee an end to their season this year. This is a must-win game for both teams.
