Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)<\/strong> finally ended their decade-long winless streak at the Wankhede Stadium<\/strong>, edging past Mumbai Indians (MI)<\/strong> by 12 runs<\/strong> in a high-scoring IPL 2024<\/strong> encounter on Monday night.<\/p>\n

After being put in to bat, skipper Rajat Patidar<\/strong> (64 off 32 balls) and Virat Kohli<\/strong> (67 off 42) led from the front, powering RCB to an imposing 221\/5 in 20 overs<\/strong>. A late blitz by Jitesh Sharma<\/strong> (40* off 19) added the finishing touches to a strong innings.<\/p>\n

Chasing 222, Mumbai found themselves in trouble early but were brought back into the game by Tilak Varma<\/strong> (56 off 29) and Hardik Pandya<\/strong> (42 off 15), who added a fiery 89-run partnership<\/strong> for the fifth wicket to put RCB under pressure.<\/p>\n
