During the 31st match of the ongoing 14th season of the Indian Premier League between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli’s decision of winning the toss and opting to bat didn’t bode well for his team.
Royal Challengers, who have had to make a total of five changes to their squad, made as many as three changes to their Playing XI including two debutants namely Srikar Bharat and Wanidu Hasaranga.
Kohli (5), who had opened the batting with Devdutt Paddikal (22), was their first batsman to get out in the second over after Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Prasidh Krishna found him wanting in front of the stumps.

Kolkata all-rounder Andre Russell, who had picked the priced wicket of veteran RCB batsman AB de Villiers (0), was the pick of the bowlers for his team with bowling figures of 3-0-9-3 playing a vital role in bundling out Royal Challengers for 92 in 19 overs.
