Virat Kohli put on a show with the bat in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) resounding 10-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday (April 22).

Chasing 178 to win, Kohli smashed 72 not out off 47 balls (6 fours and 3 sixes) while his opening partner Devdutt Padikkal slammed 101* off 52 balls (11 fours and 6 sixes) as RCB overhauled the target with 21 balls to spare.

After completing his fifty, Kohli produced a special celebration. The RCB skipper waved a flying kiss and then gestured a cradle, suggesting that he is dedicating the knock to his newborn daughter Vamika.
