IPL 2022: Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik Power Royal Challengers Bangalore to 205/2 Against Punjab Kings
The new RCB captain was in full flow as he struck three fours and seven sixes. Kohli played second-fiddle to him, scoring 41 off 29 deliveries. Punjab Kings' new signing Odean Smith conceded 52 runs in 4 fours and was the most expensive bowler for his side.
Faf du Plessis struck a masterful 88 off just 57 balls while Dinesh Karthik provided late impetus with 32 off 14 balls as Royal Challengers Bangalore powered their way to 205/2 in their first innings. This is also the first 200+ score in IPL 2022.
A Faf masterclass, Virat’s anchoring innings and DK’s blitzkrieg helps us put up a compelling total on the board. 🔥💪🏻
Over to the bowlers now. 🙌🏻🎯#PlayBold #WeAreChallengers #IPL2022 #Mission2022 #RCB #ನಮ್ಮRCB #PBKSvRCB pic.twitter.com/kYbbDwjR8Z
