Kohli became the first player today to play 200 IPL matches for a franchise. But it’s not an occasion he’d want to remember. It’s not the end of the world though. RCB are still third on the table, while KKR have jumped to fifth. Their bowling was on fire, and as Morgan said it was a perfect start in their bid to make a comeback in this tournament.
Kolkata Knight Riders won by 9 wickets, Sixth successive defeat for RCB in UAE.
