RCB are sitting on second spot in points table at the moment | BCCI/IPLVirat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side are rejoicing an amazing turnaround in the IPL 2020, as they occupy the second spot on the points table with 14 points to their name and one win away from playoffs qualification.

The RCB is on cloud nine after demolishing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the other night as they restricted them to 84/8 in 20 overs and chased down the total with more than 6 overs to go with eight wickets in hand.

The hero proved to be Mohammed Siraj, who picked 3/8 in his 4 overs, while bowling two maidens in his spell, becoming the only bowler to do so in IPL history. Apart from him, Gurkeerat also made 21* in the chase, and Kohli lent the finishing touches to an astounding win.

RCB is in hot form led by AB de Villiers and Devdutt Padikkal with the bat as they have scored 285 and 321 runs respectively in the 10 matches they have played thus far. Padikkal has made 3 half-centuries at a strike-rate of 124.41. On the other hand, De Villiers has been the savior for RCB on many occasions and has made 4 fifties at a strike rate of 190.

Captain Kohli has had a lukewarm tournament so far for his standards, making 365 runs with 2 half-centuries at a strike rate of 126.29 and an average of 60.83.

Kohli, in an upbeat mood, posted a photo of himself with AB de Villiers, Mohammed Siraj, and Devdutt Padikkal during training with an extremely funny caption reading, “This pic takes me back to school days. 4 guys from the same class and AB is the kid who's finished homework and is prepared and the other 3 know they are in trouble
