Virat Kohli cleaned Shardul Thakur with an insane no look six during RCB vs CSK in IPL 2021 on Friday
Asked to step out and bat first as he lost another toss, Virat Kohli knew he needed to regain his form if RCB were to win against CSK on Friday. Trounced in their bygone clash, the Kohli lead unit was in dire need of a strong opening partnership as they took on a Chennai Super Kings side more than capable of chasing down any score.
And the Royal Challengers Bangalore got just what they have craved for as the opening duo of Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal wiped the floor with CSK’s bowling unit. The two openers left no stone unturned in making the most of the exquisite batting conditions with them playing extradonaire lusty blows to bring up a century partnership.

Kohli was eventually sent back by Dwyane Bravo who picked up three wickets on the day and was responsible for sparking a RCB collapse. From 111-0, the side ended up with a meek 156-6 with the entire batting unit collapsing like a house of cards as a gusty CSK side refused to go away.
Wickets at regular intervals see CSK in a dominant position ahead of the second innings of the matchup.
