Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar conjured up superlative fifties before bowlers joined the party as Royal Challengers Bengaluru kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a huge 60-run win over Punjab Kings in the I.P.L. here today.
Virat Kohli’s 47-balls’ 92 was the cornerstone of R.C.B.’s innings as he starred in two partnerships — 72 off 32 balls with Patidar (55 off 23 balls) and 92 off 46 balls with Cameron Green (46 off 27 balls) to propel the team to 241/7.
In reply, Rilee Rossouw put up a show with a 27-ball 61-run knock but Karn Sharma’s twin strike triggered a collapse as P.B.K.S. were all out for 181 in 17 overs.
