Former India skipper Virat Kohli led the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the recently-concluded game against Punjab Kings. He had a good game with the bat after PBKS skipper Sam Curran won the toss and decided to bowl first. With the bat, Kohli scored a fifty albeit a slow one on a sluggish wicket. During the second innings, Kohli was seen playing the stone paper scissors with his teammates.

Virat Kohli-led RCB back to winning ways in IPL 2023
Meanwhile, talking about the PBKS v RCB game, the home team, Punjab was looking to keep the winning momentum they gained against Lucknow Super Giants. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore was looking to get back to winning ways after losing closely to Chennai Super Kings at home.
Meanwhile, in the game, the RCB got a great start as Kohli and Faf du Plessis put together 137 runs for the first wicket. Both players scored a fifty with the former scoring at a lower strike rate. In the end, the three-time finalists scored 174/4 at the end of the innings. In reply, the home team, Punjab never got going as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
The likes of Prabhsimran Singh an Jitesh Sharma tried well for the team. However, the team got all-out on 150, losing the game by 24 runs.
