Kohli was in his element against KKR and scored 54 off 37 balls but it wasn’t good enough for RCB to get over the line. Chasing a mammoth total of 201, RCB could only manage to score 179 for 8 in 20 overs. Barring Kohli, only Manipal Lomror, and Dinesh Karthik had threatened to take the match away from KKR but they were left to do a little too much at the end with no help coming from the other batters.
With that win KKR find themselves in the seventh position while RCB are placed fifth in the IPL points table.
