New Delhi. Once again, in the Sultan's prostration, along with all the experts, the heads of the fans bowed down.

Virat became heroes of Wankhede

Amidst the slogans of Virat-Virat, when King Kohli landed on the ground today, his attitude was something else. On the fourth ball of Deepak Chahar's first over, Virat expressed his intentions by playing a strong bridge shot. In the very next over, Virat crossed the record of 13 thousand consecutive fours in two consecutive balls of Bolt. The real thrill in the match came when Virat welcomed Bumrah with a six on the mid -wicket. This shot was a statement for Mumbai and a challenge for the rest of the bowlers. Virat did not spare anyone Santner, Vignesh Puthur Will Jacks and completed his half -century off 29 balls. It was the havoc of Virat that Virat and Paddikal scored 76 runs in the first power play. Virat shared a 91 -run partnership off 52 balls for the second wicket with Paddikal, due to which RCB managed to cross 100 in 10 overs. Virat was dismissed for 67 runs but he managed to show full supremacy during his innings.
