I have absolutely enjoyed this innings from @imVkohli. Quick start, then when wickets went down ensured there wasn't an early end and now seeing that they don't fall too far behind on NRR.

Virat Kohli - The lone warrior stands tall yet again. You gotta feel bad for this man. There has been no method to the way the rest of the RCB batters batted today at the Wankhede. Huge disappointment #MIvRCB
