What’s wrong with Virat Kohli? This was the million-dollar question that everyone kept asking throughout the Indian Premier League. But after Thursday’s enchanting performance from the batting great, the concern seemed a thing of the past.  King Kohli was back with a bang. He struck a classy 73 off 54 balls to power Royal Challengers Bangalore to a thumping eight-wicket win against table-toppers Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium. 

Chasing GT’s 168-5, RCB openers Kohli and Faf du Plessis (44) put on a 115-run stand before Glenn Maxwell’s entertaining 18-ball 40 took RCB through in 18.4 overs. RCB’s hopes of making it to the playoffs rest in Mumbai Indians’ hands. If Delhi Capitals win against MI, then they go through. A loss will take RCB to the Top-4.
