KKR’s impressive performance throughout the match demonstrated their potential as major tournament contenders.
Before Dagar bowled Narine in the seventh over after he had hammered five sixes in his 22-ball performance, Salt was bowled in the next over after being caught at deep square leg.
In order to maintain the momentum, Venkatesh Iyer reached 50 before being caught by Kohli, and Shreyas finished the innings with a score of 39.
Giving a thumbs-up to the cheering home fans, Kohli scored 83 and reached his 50 off just 36 balls. With his knock, he became the tournament’s top run scorer since the league’s opening week.
However, Bengaluru’s innings were a one-man show due to a dearth of capable teammates.
