4) Kohli/ABD's resistance
Trending
Once again, Chris Gayle departed the scene early. Once again it was left to Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers to steady the ship. And steady the ship they did, and how!
A 107-run partnership was stitched in just 65 balls as Kohli and de Villiers made the Daredevils hope they had not got Gayle out. They proved that they are two of the very best batsmen in the world currently as the South African's 55 came from just 33 balls while Kohli stayed longer in the crease and put up 79 off 48 balls.
The duo's partnership was finally broken by West Indies' World T20 hero, Carlos Brathwaite, who got ABD out, but Kohli ensured that their partnership that steadied the innings didn't go in vain as RCB reached an extremely competitive total.
