Kohli took some time to find his touch but was dismissed by Mustafizur thanks to a brilliant effort by Ajinkya Rahane at the mid-wicket boundary ropes to hand the side the big wicket of RCB’s best batter. The Fizz managed to strike again in the same over to pick up his fourth wicket to get rid of the big-money signing Cameron Green with a peach of a delivery as well.
