Which IPL team could break the jinx of the 'host supremacy'?
After the game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, the inevitable is that, 'records and trends, are meant to be broken'.
SRH beat an 11-year-old record of RCB smashing the highest total by a team in an IPL match. Pat Cummins' team hit 277 runs in 20 overs against MI. They beat the record of 263 runs set by Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors India (PWI) in 2011.
A rare occurrence like RCB's was broken, and so will this peculiar trend of home sides winning the games, in IPL 2024. that is catching the headlines in IPL 2024. Here is the away team that we think will break the 'host supremacy' in the ongoing IPL.
Royal Challengers Bangalore host Kolkata Knight Riders in Bengaluru in the next match in IPL 2024. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a batter's paradise. Moreover, Kolkata Knight Riders have their hard-hitters, Rinku Singh and Andre Russell, in prime form. To add to our argument, RCB's bowling is the weakling in their squad in IPL 2024.
