Despite Karthik's setback, RCB secured a commanding 35-run victory over SRH, breaking their losing streak. SRH's chase never gained momentum as they lost wickets early on, with impactful performances from RCB's bowlers. Shahbaz Ahmed's unbeaten 40 and Pat Cummins' quickfire 31 offered some resistance, but RCB's bowling attack proved too strong.

While RCB's win is a positive sign, they still find themselves at the bottom of the table, tied with the Punjab Kings. SRH remains in third place, with 10 points from 8 matches. Looking ahead, RCB will face the Gujarat Titans, while SRH will take on CSK this Sunday.

As the IPL season progresses, all eyes will be on Dinesh Karthik's recovery and his potential impact on India's T20 World Cup campaign.
