Virat Kohli leads Orange Cap race

Meanwhile, Kohli has been on another glorious run with the bat this season as he is leading with the Orange Cap with 443 runs in 10 matches, having already hit six half-centuries, four of them coming while chasing.

He was on his way to another great innings and held the innings together for RCB as they ran through the chase with a score of 51 runs. He put on a 119-run fourth wicket partnership with Krunal Pandya, who finished an undefeated 73 from 47 balls, to propel RCB to victory by six wickets with nine balls in hand.

To this effect, he stated, "It has given a fine platform for the team to win their seventh win in the campaign.

"People, I think, are forgetting the importance of stitching partnerships or going deep into the innings in T20 cricket," the former India captain said after helping his side chase down 163 on a two-paced surface.
