Virat Kohli brought up his ninth IPL century with a single off Vaibhav Arora after a composed innings in the chase. Coming into the match after two consecutive ducks, Kohli responded with a classic knock. The milestone came off a very full delivery outside off stump.
Sunil Narine ended his spell with the wicket of Rajat Patidar after the batter tried to attack a carrom ball. Bowling at 93.2kph, Narine got Patidar to go for a big shot across the line, but the timing was not right and Ajinkya Rahane completed the catch. Patidar scored 11 off eight balls, including a six.

Vaibhav Arora conceded 12 runs in the over as Virat Kohli struck two boundaries. Kohli first drove a low full toss past the non-striker for four and later whipped a full delivery between long-on and deep midwicket for another boundary. The over also included two dot balls, a single each for Kohli and Rajat Patidar, and two wides, including one overturned through DRS after Patidar reviewed a bouncer that passed over his helmet.
RCB 145/2 (15)
Kartik Tyagi gave KKR a crucial breakthrough just after the break by dismissing Devdutt Padikkal. Bowling a slower off-cutter on a short length, Tyagi induced a mistimed shot as Padikkal tried to slap it over the off-side after moving away. The batter could not get enough height and Ajinkya Rahane completed a safe catch at cover. Padikkal made 39 off 27 balls with seven fours.
RCB lose their second wicket.
RCB 133/2 (14)
Anukul Roy bowled a controlled over and gave away just eight runs, including three wides. Virat Kohli faced most of the over, managing two singles while also playing out two dot balls, one of them off a delivery that did not turn and produced a leading edge towards cover.
RCB 89/1 (9)
Kartik Tyagi gave RCB an early blow by dismissing Jacob Bethell in the fourth over. Bowling a sharp short delivery on middle and leg, Tyagi cramped Bethell for room as he attempted the pull shot. The ball came off the splice, brushed the helmet and ballooned into the air before Tyagi completed the catch himself, ending the opening stand.
RCB 37/1 (3.2)
