Auto RefreshPBKS vs RCB 2025, IPL Match Highlights: Virat Kohli makes easy work of Punjab bowlers as Bangalore take revenge
PBKS vs RCB 2025, IPL Match Highlights: Virat Kohli continued his rich exploits and powered Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to a seven-wicket victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Mullanpur on Sunday. Kohli slammed his 59th half-century and returned unbeaten on 73(54) as RCB wrapped up the 158-chase with seven balls to spare. Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal added 103 for the second wicket, which virtually sealed the match for RCB. The latter was dismissed for 61(35) by Harpreet Brar. Earlier, RCB lost Phil Salt for 1 but Punjab failed to capitalise on the early wicket. Meanwhile, RCB captain Rajat Patidar contributed 12(13). Punjab, on the other hand, struggled to get going despite a decent start by Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh after Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the toss and opted to field. Punjab were restricted to 157-6 in 20 overs. The spin duo of RCB - Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma - were economical as the two combined to scalp four wickets while conceding just 51 runs in the eight overs between them. For Punjab most batters threw away the starts before Shashank Singh and Marco Jansen added an unbeaten 43 for the sixth wicket, which pushed them to a respectable total. The win will certainly lift the spirit of Bengaluru, who were defeated by the same opponents at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday.

STRATEGIC TIME OUT. Royal Challengers Bengaluru firmly in the driver's seat! That magnificent 103-run stand between Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal has completely extinguished any hopes of a collapse. Both batsmen have crafted well-paced half-centuries, inching RCB closer to victory. While Harpreet Brar did manage to dismiss Padikkal, PBKS have struggled to consistently take wickets. With just 26 needed from the final four overs, Kohli and the new batsman will be looking to finish this off emphatically and boost their net run rate significantly. The chase is well and truly on!

Shashank Singh fumbles the pickup and throws it way off target towards the bowler's end.

MATCH INFO
Strategic timeout. RCB are cruising towards the target set by PBKS, largely thanks to the masterful Virat Kohli, who is meticulously orchestrating this chase. PBKS desperately needs to find a way to remove Kohli, the linchpin of this innings. The absence of Shreyas Iyer, their influential captain, looms large, potentially hampering PBKS's tactical flexibility in this crucial phase.

FOUR!Over 8.6Royal 75/1
FOUR! Cracking shot! Brar drops it a touch short, spinning it into middle and leg. Padikkal, quick as a flash, dances back and WHACKS that pull shot! It rockets between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. Shashank Singh gives chase from deep square, puts in a valiant dive, but it's all in vain! That ball has legs and sprints to the boundary! Glorious!

That's a zippy delivery, full and probing around off-stump. Virat Kohli leans into the drive, caressing it with the spin along the ground to long-off for a comfortable single. Textbook stuff!

A gentle offering at 90.2 kph, pitched up and on off-stump, Virat Kohli replies with a firm push straight back to the bowler. A bit of a tame response, that!

1 RunOver 7.6Royal 69/1
Jansen cleverly takes the pace off, pitching it outside off and a touch too full. Devdutt Padikkal leans over and carves it stylishly to the right of point. A sharp single taken as Harpreet Brar scampers to his right from point to cut it off. A tidy over from Jansen, conceding just 4. The last two overs have yielded 15 runs. Momentum is building!

Oh dear! A juicy full toss, begging to be hit, right on the stumps. But Padikkal skies it, a mistimed heave that's gobbled up at mid-wicket! A disappointing end to the innings for him!

Over 7.4Royal 67/1
WIDE! Jansen changes his angle, coming around the wicket. Kohli was on the move, shuffling outside leg, and Jansen overcompensates, firing it well wide of the off-side tramline. The umpire signals a wide!

Padikkal with a solid punch, finding the gap and scampering through to long on for a single. Sensible batting, rotating the strike nicely. RCB still need 92 more runs off 75 balls. It's poised on a knife edge!
