Kohli scores after twin ducks
Kohli finally got off the mark after registering back-to-back ducks in the tournament.

He fell for a golden duck against the Mumbai Indians as Deepak Chahar got him for a nought.ย
The former RCB captain avoided a hat-trick of ducks against the Knight Riders. He worked one towards square leg off Dubey on the final ball of the first over and celebrated the run.ย
Kohli breaks MS Dhoni’s record
Earlier, Kohli shattered an all-time MS Dhoni record with his appearance in the game. This match is Kohli’s 279th in the Indian cash-rich league, which is one more than what Dhoni and Rohit Sharma have played. Both Kohli and Rohit had equalled Dhoni’s record when RCB met Mumbai Indians in Raipur on Sunday, May 10, and it is the RCB icon who broke Dhoni’s record first.ย
