RR vs RCB Live Score
After being put into bat by the Royals, RCB amassed 183/3 thanks to Kohli’s unbeaten 113 off 72 balls. Even though Kohli amassed a huge amount of runs, his strike rate will continue to be questioned. Kohli batted through the innings for the second time during which RCB had many wickets in hand but fell short of a 200-run total.
In the 19th over of the match, which had no boundaries, saw only four runs scored by RCB when Kohli was on 98.
In actuality, Kohli’s century off 67 balls was both the slowest of his career and the joint slowest in IPL history. Back in 2009, Manish Pandey achieved a century on 67 balls. With a strike rate of less than 150, Kohli is the lone player in the top five run scorers’ list, despite having amassed 316 runs at an average of 105.33 in five games this year.
Throughout his knock, Kohli smashed 12 fours and 4 sixes. He was sluggish to get going but got going against the pacers, hitting a couple of sixes, but he found it difficult to get the boundaries once Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin, the spinners, came on.
