NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli showcased his mastery with a commendable half-century on a slightly challenging pitch, delighting the festive Holi-day crowd and propelling the Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a four-wicket triumph over Punjab Kings in an IPL showdown on Monday.
Although the target of 177 runs wasn't overly daunting, it demanded careful navigation due to the pitch conditions. Kohli's innings of 77 runs off 49 balls, adorned with 11 boundaries and 2 sixes, epitomized near-flawless execution as RCB reached 178 for six with four balls remaining, securing their inaugural victory of the IPL season.
