Earlier on Friday, during the powerplay of the RCB innings, Kohli laughed when Gambhir was shown on the big screen. Meanwhile, Kohli took the KKR bowlers to cleaners leading RCB to 182/6  in 2o overs. The right-hander remaied unbeaten on 83 off 59 balls that included four fours and same number of sixes. He also got able support from Cameron Green (33) and Glenn Maxwell (28).

Coming after a match-winning half-century against Punjab Kings in the last match, Kohli continued from where he started and was at his absolute best. The way he hit the likes of Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy over the ropes, was a treat to the eyes.

Speaking on how it feels like playing alongside Kohli, Green said, “It’s always nice to bat with Virat, he looked beautiful again today. There’s certain bowlers in their team that I have never faced before. Obviously he has faced some 10 or 20 times, the experience is always amazing.”
