Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Brian Lara admitted that his team came up against a "Virat Kohli at his best" but found it hard to explain why they lost six out of the seven home games, which dashed their IPL play-offs chances.
Already out of tournament, Sunrisers Hyderabad did post a decent total of 186, riding on Heinrich Klaasen's brilliant hundred.
But Klaasen's effort was overshadowed by former India skipper's 63-ball-100 and his 172-run opening stand with skipper Faf du Plessis (71) as RCB won by eight wickets with four balls to spare.
