Despite heavy rain and pelting hail, Virat Kohli smashed a brilliant 92 and guided Royal Challengers Bangalore to a commanding 60-run victory over Punjab Kings. Kohli was given multiple chances, but he made the most of it and formed a crucial partnership with Rajat Patidar (55) to lead RCB to a massive total of 241. With this win, RCB stays in the race for the playoffs while Punjab Kings' hopes are dashed.
With a blazing 92 runs off just 47 deliveries against Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Virat Kohli becomes the first player to cross the 600 run mark and now boasts a total of 634 runs in the ongoing IPL season. Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad's Travis Head climbs up to third in the runs tally with a blistering 89 runs against Lucknow Super Giants. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson also makes a comeback in the top-five run scorers list after his knock of 86 runs against Delhi Capitals. As we gear up for today's SRH vs LSG match, all eyes will be on the race for the coveted Orange Cap, with Gill, Du Plessis, Conway, Kohli, and Jaiswal being the top contenders.
