However, another highlight of the match remained the unsavoury statement made by legendary player Sunil Gavaskar, who from the commentary box took a jibe at Kohli for dropping two crucial catches. As soon as he passed comment on Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma, the internet exploded with reactions. 







Twitterati slammed Gavaskar for his 'distasteful' comment and demanded an apology for dragging Virat's wife Anushka Sharma in the commentary out of nowhere. 


Kings XI Punjab skipper KL Rahul notched up the highest individual score by an Indian in the history of IPL of 132 to help his side post a huge score of 206/3 in 20 overs. Virat Kohli-led RCB failed to counter Kings XI Punjab's bowling attack as they suffered a dramatic collapse to get eventually bundled out for 109.
