RCB registered its first win of the season

Talking about the Punjab vs Bengaluru match, RCB had to struggle in the beginning while chasing 177 runs. However, Virat Kohli took charge and played a strong innings. His teammates from one end kept going to the pavilion, but Kohli kept scoring runs.

He played a brilliant half-century of 77 runs before falling victim to Harshal Patel’s ball in the 16th over. After his dismissal, the RCB team faltered. But in the end, the explosive partnership of Dinesh Karthik (28*) and Mahipal Lomror (17*) gave the Faf du Plessis-led franchise its first win of the season.
