Kolkata Knight Riders dominated the ground at Chinnaswamy. In a one-sided match, KKR defeated the home team Royal Challengers Bangalore by 21 runs. In response to the target of 201 runs from Kolkata, RCB's team could only manage 179 runs after losing 8 wickets. On their home ground, the Bangalore batsmen easily succumbed to the KKR spinners.
KKR spinners did wonders
Kolkata Knight Riders' spin duo Suyyash Sharma and Varun Chakraborty together showed the way to the pavilion to five RCB batsmen. When Suyash walked the informer Faf Duplesey, Varun sent Glenn Maxwell to the pavilion for just 5 runs.
Although, despite losing the wickets of Faf and Maxwell, RCB's team looked in a strong position in the match at one point, KKR's one wicket turned the whole game. Let us tell you what was the biggest turning point of this match.
Kohli's wicket overturned
In fact, despite the cheap dismissals of Faf Duplesey and Maxwell, Virat Kohli handled the RCB innings. Kohli looked to be standing between KKR and victory after scoring a brilliant 56 off 34 balls. However, Andre Russell, who has not been able to show anything special this season with the bat, proved to be a game-changer for Kolkata with the ball.
Kohli tried to hit a big shot on Russell's ball, but he hit the ball straight into the hands of Venkatesh Iyer. Kohli's wicket was the biggest turning point of this match. After Virat's dismissal, RCB's innings faltered badly and victory kept slipping away from the team.
