The IPL 2023 match between RCB and MI saw an impressive performance by Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis, as they powered Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to an eight-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Bengaluru on Sunday. Chasing a target of 172, Kohli and Du Plessis started strongly, adding 148 runs in just 14.5 overs, before Du Plessis was dismissed by Arshad Khan for 73 off 43 balls. Cameron Green then picked up Dinesh Karthik for a duck, and Glenn Maxwell (12* off 3) provided support to Kohli towards the end. Kohli remained unbeaten on 82 off 49 balls, smashing six 4s and five 6s. Mumbai’s Tilak Verma fought a lone battle and scored an unbeaten 84 off 46 balls to guide his team to 171/7, after being asked to bat first. Verma formed crucial partnerships with Nehal Wadhela (21 off 13) and Arshad Khan (15* off 9), adding 50 runs with Wadhela and 48 runs with Arshad to rescue Mumbai from a precarious position of 48/4 in 8.5 overs.
