CSK vs RCB 2012

If Kohli wants to forget something in his life, it would be his bowling performance against CSK in that group stage match in 2012. It was the 13th match of that edition and RCB, having won the toss, elected to bat. Mayank Agarwal and Gayle gave the start the visitors needed, scoring 53 runs for the first wicket partnership. Then came in Kohli, who along with Gayle ripped apart the Chennai attack with a 110-run partnership. Gayle top-scored with 68 runs off 35 balls, while Kohli made 57. They witnessed a collapse in the final overs, losing 5 wickets in six balls and ending up with 205 on the board. In response, CSK got off to a flyer, thanks to Faf Du Plessis' 71 off just 46 balls, as he held onto one end, while the team lost some important wickets. In spite of all the efforts, the hosts needed 43 runs off the last two overs and what happened is history. Everyone thought it was RCB’s game when Kohli came into bowl the 19th over. Albie Morkel, who had just come in to bat, hit 3 sixes and 2 fours, and scored 27 runs in the penultimate over, with 15 more to get. Dwayne Bravo finished the match in style as he scored the required runs in the final over.
