Kohli played a captain's knock

Royal Challengers Bangalore began well but they lost the wickets of De Kock, McCullum and Vohra in quick succession. At this point, RCB's run rate was also low and it looked like a score of 150-160 would be their best case scenario.

However, Kohli played a real captain's knock tonight. The RCB captain played some beautiful shots which were just a treat for our eyes.

Kohli batted till the end of the innings and took RCB's total to 175, scoring 68 from 44 balls.

Kohli also had a great moment during the run chase. During the end of the 19th over, Dinesh Karthik lofted a Mohammed Siraj delivery flatly towards mid-on.

However, Kohli came running from long on and took a sensational to dismiss his opposite number. His catch impressed many, including his wife Anushka Sharma.
