Yet another Royal Challengers Bangalore game and yet another masterclass from the sensational duo of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli. Both the players stitched up a 100-run partnership to take RCB to a score of 194/6 which looked unattainable after the team had lost their way on the middle overs. The partnership went at a rate of over two runs per ball, with the South African scoring bulk of those runs. RCB vs KKR, IPL 2020 Score Updates.

After electing to bat first, Royal Challengers Bangalore were given a brilliant start by openers Devdutt Padikkal and Aaron Finch.
