However, Kohli went onto collect a few boundaries, and eventually get to his half-century, off 33 balls. The RCB stand-in skipper also went onto forge a 55-run stand with Mahipal Lomror for the fourth wicket.

Kohli, however, did not spend too long after his fifty, as he was eventually dismissed for 54 by Andre Russell in the 12^th over.

Kohli was looking to change gears and collect a few maximums in the second half of the chase, but his plan backfired after he was caught by Venkatesh Iyer at deep midwicket.
