The decision, however, proved to be fruitless, as KKR bowlers made the ball talk throughout the match. In addition to skipper Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Srikar Bharat, and Glenn Maxwell all got off to a good start after he was dismissed in the second over.

Padikkal (22) was the highest run-scorer for RCB, whereas Srikar Bharat (16) was the wicket keeper batsman’s best performance.
The KKR bowlers took a total of 3 wickets apiece with Andre Russell and Varun Chakravarthy taking one wicket each. Also, Lockie Ferguson was successful in getting a couple of wickets as well.
