Having already scored a century in the previous game against Hyderabad, Kohli carried his scintillating form into this encounter. Although this century was achieved during a run-chase, it was an innings of sheer brilliance as he charged Gujarat’s in-form bowlers. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Kohli maintained composure and exploded with aggressive strokes towards the end of the innings. He complete his century in 60 balls and remained unbeaten on 101 as RCB posted a challenging total.
Noor Ahmad was the pick of the bowlers for Gujarat Titans, claiming two wickets, with Rashid Khan, Mohammed Shami, and Yash Dayal picking one wicket each. Earlier, Gujarat Titans’ captain, Hardik Pandya, won the toss and chose to bowl. Notably, this match is crucial for RCB, especially after the Mumbai Indians’ victory over the SunRisers Hyderabad earlier today, as a win here will place them in the fourth position on the points table.
