After bu𒆙ndling out Kings XI Punjab for paltry 88, Royal Chall🥃engers Bangalore chased down the target with consummate ease, reaching 92 for no loss in 8.1 overs.
Captain Virat Kohli led from the front with the bat with an unbeaten 48 while Parthiv Patel made unbeaten 40 to help RCB romp home. Kohli struck six fours and two towering sixes during his 28-ball unbeaten knock, while Parthiv’s innings was laced with seven boundaries. While Kings XI slumped to their third successive loss, RCB improved upon their net run rate by sealing the victory in 8.1 overs. RCB now have 10 points from 12 games, same as KXIP with two games remaining for both the teams.
Here’s how fans reacted to RCB’s win over KXIP:

Kings 11 have only themselves to blame for the position they have gotten themselves into. They had🎃 5 win from their first 6 matches and since then have messed it up. Today’s magnitude of loss will affect their run rate severely. RCB on the othe☂r hand will be delighted
