Virat Kohli struck a scintillating 29-ball fifty to stabilize Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after the early loss of Phil Salt against Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede. Kohli showcased aggressive intent, sweeping Vignesh Puthur for a six to bring up his half-century. Supported by Devdutt Padikkal, who scored 37 off 22 balls, the duo added 91 runs before Padikkal was dismissed. The MI crowd enjoyed light moments between Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, who returned after a 92-day injury break. Bumrah even jokingly attempted a run-out at the non-striker’s end, triggering a friendly exchange with Kohli that delighted fans. (PC: X/IPL)
