On Monday, when Virat Kohli (67) came out to bat on this ground against Mumbai Indians, he won the hearts of the fans with his fireworks.
Virat hit a half-century in just 29 balls. This was Virat’s eighth half-century in T20 matches at Wankhede. Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and immediately decided to bowl. When Trent Boult, who came to bowl the first over, uprooted Phil Salt’s bat, it seemed that Mumbai bowlers would be successful in controlling RCB batsmen, but Virat foiled his plans.
Virat thrashed Deepak Chahar and Boult fiercely. When Bumrah, who has made Virat his victim five times in IPL, came to bowl the third over, Devdutt Padikkal took a run. Now Kohli was on strike and he welcomed Bumrah with a six. Earlier, he had hit two consecutive fours in Trent Boult’s over. Virat got full support from Devdutt Padikkal from the other end and both scored 73 runs in the powerplay.
Krunal Pandya did wonders in the last over

After this, in the last over, Krunal Pandya took 3 wickets and ensured RCB’s victory.
