#1 Virat Kohli teases Shreyas Iyer with animated celebration after RCB's victory

Virat Kohli performed admirably for RCB, once again living up to his 'Chase Master' moniker. It was the veteran batter's 67th 50-plus score in the league, breaking David Warner's record.

After Jitesh Sharma finished the match with a stunning six, Kohli teased Iyer with an animated celebration. It seemed a fun banter between the two as the RCB opener broke into a smile soon after.

Here's a video of the incident:

Kohli was adjudged the Player of the Match for his wonderful batting exploits against PBKS.

#2 Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal run four runs between the wickets

During the third over of RCB's run chase, Devdutt Padikkal played a length ball from left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh towards the leg side. The fielder in the deep stopped the ball from touching the ropes with his foot.

He took some time to collect the ball and throw it. Padikkal and Virat Kohli were very quick between the wickets, running four runs before the ball was thrown in. You can watch the clip below:

#3 Suyash Sharma bamboozles Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis in same over

Bengaluru leg spinner Suyash Sharma bowled a fantastic spell in the game. He took two wickets for his team, both coming in the 14th over. On the second ball of the over, he got rid of the dangerous Josh Inglis with a quicker delivery.

Inglis attempted to hit the ball over extra cover but was undone by the pace. The ball ended up crashing into the stumps, ending the 30-year-old's impactful cameo.

In the same over, Suyash dismissed Marcus Stoinis with a splendid googly. The Australian all-rounder failed to read it and was bowled.

The Royal Challengers will next be in action on Thursday, April 24, when they face Rajasthan Royals at home.
