Notably, they went on to notch up their IPL 2023 campaign with an emphatic win. RCB got the better of MI by 8 wickets and opened their account with a remarkable win. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis anchored the run-chase by scoring runs with ease.

They tore the Mumbai Indians’ bowling unit apart by smashing sixes and fours at will. Faf du Plessis scored 73 whereas Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 82. Niall O’Brien recalled the special moment when Virat Kohli completed his half-century at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

He added that the moment Kohli brought up his 45th IPL fifty, the roar, noise and chants for the former RCB skipper were absolute goosebumps. The former Irish cricketer echoed that it is the best moment he has ever experienced in his life.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will lock horns with two-time IPL champions, Kolkata Knight Riders on March 6, Thursday at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
