Virat Kohli has a zidd to prove that his criticisms are wrong. Scores in Bangaluru when the world questioned the RCB home file. Plays merit, takes risks calculated if necessary – this is what makes it coherent and leads it near the orange cap. Real champion.

RCB always had the scoring by, even above the peer for the bridge.
RR gave him a good blow, but just like before, they simply were unable to close the matches and 18 to 12 years old, Hazlewood Bowls has a beauty to seal the victory.
Good victory at home, first match for people on the site!

Suyash and Krunal the real Gamechangers. Hazelwood’s 19th was gold, but the whole momentum was removed by the two spinners. Great RCB victory.
