TIL Desk Sports/ Virat Kohli rediscovered his scoring touch to smash 73 off 54 balls and lead Royal Challengers Bangalore to an eight-wicket win over table toppers Gujarat Titans on Thursday, keeping his side’s playoff hopes alive.
Set a target of 169 to win their final league game, Kohli opened the innings again and smashed eight fours and two sixes to give Bangalore a platform to chase down the total and move up to fourth place. Kohli has had a poor season by his standards, which includes three ducks in the tournament. The knock was only his second fifty in 14 IPL innings, even as he crossed the 7,000-run mark for the franchise.
“I was disappointed that I haven’t done much for my team and that is what bothers me. Today was a game where I was able to create an impact for the team,” said Kohli. “I have worked really hard. Before this game, I batted non-stop in the nets for 90 minutes. I came in very free and relaxed.”
