Virat Kohli`s sublime form has been fundamental to Bengaluru`s success, considering runs have flown briskly from his bat. He is the fifth-highest run-getter, with 614 runs under his belt at 55.82, striking at 146.53, steering RCB to its first final in nine years

Former India cricketer Yograj Singh believes Punjab Kings can lift their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy by staging Royal Challengers Bengaluru`s downfall in the final of the 18th season in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
The pulsating contest in the world`s biggest cricket stadium is expected to deliver a spectacle unlike the Qualifier 1 contest, which was one-way traffic in Bengaluru`s favour. Yograj, who believes Punjab can pip RCB, emphasised the importance of franchise stalwart Virat Kohli`s wicket, which could dictate the title`s fate.
"If Punjab doesn`t get Virat out, then they are in trouble. If he doesn`t get out, then he can chase 250 or 300. I believe Punjab can win. The game is done if Virat doesn`t get out in the first 10 overs. My senses say Punjab will win," Yograj told ANI.
