RCB batting blitz
Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted a formidable total of 221/5 against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede, thanks to power-packed fifties from Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar. Kohli, returning to form in style, smashed 67 off 42 balls with eight fours and two sixes, dominating early proceedings. Partnering with Devdutt Padikkal (37 off 22), he helped RCB notch up their highest powerplay score against MI — 72/1.
Padikkal’s explosive cameo ended in the ninth over, but not before he stitched a 91-run stand with Kohli. Jasprit Bumrah, in his comeback match, was economical with 0/29, but the rest of MI's bowling lacked control. Patidar continued the charge, blasting 64 off just 32 balls with five fours and four sixes, including a brutal assault on Hardik Pandya for 23 runs in the 17th over.
Jitesh Sharma added a quick 40 off 19 to propel RCB past 220. Kohli’s milestone of 13,000 T20 runs was a highlight, though he fell short of a century. The innings ended with MI under pressure, needing their highest chase in IPL history.
