The Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured a dominant run chase led by Virat Kohli against the Kolkata Knight Riders. After the game, Dwayne Bravo entered the RCB dressing room and hugged Virat Kohli stating that the sport needs him. It was a wonderful moment of sportsmanship as even though this loss was the final nail in the coffin for KKR this year, they didn’t hold back in showing their respect for the game. Virat Kohli played a match-winning knock with a century and RCB completed the chase in the last over to secure the win by 6 wickets.

"Play as long as possible - The sport needs you, Virat,” said Dwayne Bravo. Virat Kohli has been one of the greatest phenomena in the Indian Premier League as he has been around since the inaugural season. The T20 game has been evolving over the past couple of years and even the best of players has struggled to adapt. But Virat Kohli has been an exception as he tries to rediscover his batting approach with every season and his strike rate has been on the rise as well.
