  • The pair dealt chiefly in fours before reaching the death overs in which they upped the ante
  • Their partnership ended on 108 when Kohli was dismissed by Kuldeep
  • RCB eventually settled for a total of 205/3
  • KKR looked like they were in the chase during the first 10 overs of their innings before RCB clawed their way back
