Virat Kohli and Moeen Ali’s fiery knocks powered Royal Challengers Bangalore to 213/4 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Friday.
Moeen Ali (28-balls 66) and Virat Kohli (58-ball 100) stitched a brilliant partnership. However, it was skipper Kohli who paced his innings brilliantly till the end to score his fifth ton in IPL. Bangalore managed to bag 91 runs off the last five overs to record their highest total of IPL 2019.
RCB were having a moderate run flow till the 12th over with scoreboard reading 89-2. While Kohli got to his first 50 off 40 balls, on the other end, Ali gave the much needed oxygen to their innings.
RCB got the big momentum in the 16th over when Moeen struck Kuldeep for three sixes and a couple fours before finally falling. Yadav ended with figures of 1/59 in four overs.King Kohli's majestic 100(58) https://t.co/CHRT0jGpP0 via @ipl

Put in, RCB got off to an ordinary start and the absence of AB de Villiers, who was indisposed following dehydration, was felt very much. Kohli mistimed the ball with a couple of inside-edges to the boundary, while his left-handed opening parter Parthiv Patel (11 off 11) had a hit-and-miss stay before falling to Sunil Narine inside the powerplay. In the middle of all this, RCB sent in Akshdeep Nath (13 off 15) at number three keeping the in-form Ali in waiting. RCB made only 42 inside the powerplay.Moeen mows 66(28) at Eden https://t.co/A1d1HFs19u via @ipl
