Asked to bat first, the Challengers posted a competitive total of 182/6 in their allotted 20 overs. Former skipper Virat Kohli played a brilliant innings, scoring 83 runs off 59 deliveries, supported by contributions from Cameron Green (33 runs off 21) and Glenn Maxwell (28 runs off 19). However, the rest of the batting order couldn’t quite capitalize, with Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, and Dinesh Karthik falling relatively cheaply.

Despite some resistance from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowlers, notably Yash Dayal (1 wicket for 46 runs) and Mayank Dagar (1 wicket for 23 runs), Kolkata Knight Riders’ batting prowess prevailed. In the end, KKR emerged victorious, winning the match by 7 wickets with 19 balls to spare.
