Overview
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased 193 to beat Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets with five balls to spare in Raipur.
- Virat Kohli finished 105 not out off 60 balls and shared a 92-run stand with Devdutt Padikkal to steer the chase after an early wicket.
- Earlier, KKR posted 192/4 as Angkrish Raghuvanshi hit 71 and Rinku Singh ended unbeaten on 49, with Kartik Tyagi taking 3/32.
- During Jacob Bethell’s dismissal to a Tyagi short ball that glanced his helmet for a simple return catch, the opener dropped his gold chain and walked off.
- Padikkal later picked up the chain, a moment caught on broadcast and shared widely on social media, with reports differing on whether it went back to Bethell or to the umpire as RCB moved clear at the top on net run rate.
