Virat Kohli was at his aggressive best as he scored his second consecutive half-century in the ongoing IPL 2023 when Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) took on Delhi Capitals (DC) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 15, 2023.
David Warner, the DC captain won the toss and chose to bowl first. RCB is at 8th whereas Delhi Capitals at the last spot, as they have not won a single match. Hence, both would play for their esteem and to rise upward in the table.
For DC, Mitchell Marsh replaced Rovman Powell, while David Willey made way for Wanindu Hasaranga in the RCB XI.
Faf du Plessis (22) was the first RCB wicket to fall for 43 runs on the board. Virat Kohli continued his good run of form and hit 6 fours and 1 six in his knock as he reached his half-century in 33 balls, but got out the next ball off Lalit Yadav.
However, as he reached his second consecutive fifty in the tournament, Virat Kohli celebrated the milestone in his old aggressive way and thumped his chest in celebration.

However, apart from Kohli, no other RCB batter could do much with Mahipal Lomror (26), Glenn Maxwell (24) and Shahbaz Ahmed (20*) getting starts, but not capitalizing on them. RCB managed 174/6 in 20 overs.
For DC, who bowled really well, Mitchell Marsh and Kuldeep Yadav picked two wickets each.
