RCB’s star batter and former captain Virat Kohli produced a stunning inning to help his team draw first blood against Mumbai Indians on Sunday night in IPL 2023. The right-handed batter slammed an impressive fifty (82*) alongside captain Faf du Plessis, who also scored 73 as openers piled up 148 for the first wicket in a chase of 172.&nbsp;

In the process, Kohli also created history by becoming the first Indian player to cross fifty-plus totals 50 times, including 45 fifties and five centuries. Virat is second to David Warner, who has 60 fifty-plus scores in this league. Third on the list is Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan, who has 49 fifty-plus scores in IPL.

Meanwhile, Virat looked in great touch from the word go, smashing two left-arm pacers early on to all parts of the ground. After a while, Faf took the onus and slammed a quick fifty, but it was Virat’s fireworks against Mumbai’s Jofra Archer that impressed everyone.&nbsp;Debuting for the five-time champions Mumbai, Archer, who hasn’t played too much cricket in the build-up to IPL 2023, looked a bit out of touch though there was no shortage of pace. Hitting him dominantly on the leg side, Virat made the crowd go crazy.&nbsp;

With 22 balls to spare in eight wickets in hand, RCB chased down the target.

Earlier, after asking Mumbai to bat first, Bangalore got off to a great start, removing MI’s top four in no time. Tilak Verma, the left-handed batter, bailed his team out with an incredible&nbsp;show from the bat as he remained unbeaten on 84 off 46 balls, which included nine fours and four massive sixes.

Karn Sharma, the out-of-favour India's leg-spinner returned with the best figures from RCB with two for 32, whereas each of the five designated bowlers picked a wicket apiece.

RCB’s next match is against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 6th at Eden Gardens.
