The stars shine but don't align for Royal Challengers Bangalore
Kohli, du Plessis, Maxwell and Siraj were all near perfect but the rest of the team let them down
Where they finished
Wins: Seven
Losses: Seven
The Good - KGF
The Bad - Non-existent middle order
Poll
Top Performer - Faf du Plessis
The Highlights
- The 939 runs Kohli and du Plessis scored together as openers are the joint most by a pair in an IPL, equalling Kohli's 939 runs with AB de Villiers in 2016.
- Kohli's back-to-back tons helped him surpass Chris Gayle's record (six) for most IPL centuries. Kohli's eight T20 hundreds are the joint-third-most in the format.* Gayle has 22, Babar Azam has nine, while Aaron Finch, David Warner and Michael Klinger have eight each too.
