Even though he didn’t go on to make a big score, Virat Kohli looked good during his stay in the middle in his team’s victory over Rajasthan Royals, as did the skipper’s young opening partner Devdutt Padikkal.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to inch closer to securing a play-off berth when they clash with Punjab Kings in the IPL match here today.


Eyeing their first IPL title triumph, RCB are currently placed third in the pecking order with seven wins and four defeats for a total of 14 points.


Another two points from a win will almost assure them of a place in the play-offs, but for that, RCB will need to put it across Punjab Kings who are coming off a morale-boosting win against Kolkata Knight Riders. With their five-wicket victory over KKR, Punjab Kings too kept alive their prospects of making the play-offs, even though they are down at fifth position with 12 points after five wins and seven reverses.
