What were the talking points in RCB vs KKR?
Varun Chakravarthy has a hairline fracture in his toe and missed the clash. In his place, Vidarbha's Saurabh Dubey featured in the XII, his first professional game in nearly 30 months. Several batters from KKR got starts, but they kept searching for a period of consistent hitting that never arrived. It was a Virat Kohli show from there. He celebrated his first run after two ducks in trademark Kohli manner; 99 runs later, he celebrated again, as he registered his first IPL hundred in two years.
