RCB, determined to secure their second victory over KKR at Eden Gardens, approached the match with a sense of urgency, treating it as a do-or-die situation for the team. Kohli, sporting the Orange Cap as the leading run-scorer, showcased his prowess early on, putting on a dominant display against the bowlers.
However, Kohli’s frustration boiled over during his innings, particularly when he fell victim to a contentious decision by the umpire. After being dismissed on a contentious call, Kohli engaged in a verbal spat with the umpire, expressing his displeasure with the decision. Despite a review, the decision stood, leaving Kohli visibly agitated and adding to the tension on the field.
While RCB captain Faf du Plessis failed to make a significant impact, Jacques Kallis stepped up with a blistering fifty, injecting new life into the match with his explosive innings. His rapid-fire knock propelled RCB past the 100-run mark in under 10 overs, setting the stage for a thrilling contest between the two sides.
