What kind of behavior is this chapri @RCBTweets 🤬

You don't have the right to touch anyone. Then what's the use of Law?

You can keep him in Jail/ Fine but you're attacking him in the stadium 🏟️ itself

Meanwhile, Kohli made headlines during the match by achieving a significant milestone. He notched up his 100th T20 fifty-plus score, becoming the first Indian and the third player overall to accomplish this feat. Kohli’s stellar performance saw him scoring 77 runs off 49 balls, comprising 11 fours and two sixes, at a striking rate exceeding 157. With this, Kohli reaffirmed his status as one of the most prolific batsmen in T20 cricket.

Despite Kohli’s outstanding performance, Punjab Kings struggled to capitalize on favorable batting conditions. While their batters, including skipper Shikhar Dhawan, Jitesh Sharma, and Sam Curran, showed promise with their starts, none managed to convert them into substantial scores. Ultimately, Punjab Kings posted a modest total of 176/6 in their allotted 20 overs on the batting-friendly Chinnaswamy track.
