Here are the important stats of this fixture.

    2/6

    Kohli loves to run between the wickets

    Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has been doing a lot of running between the wickets.

    3/6

    RCB bowlers love to give 'away' runs

    Royal Challengers Bangalore definitely have bowling issues. In today's match, the Bangalore bowlers gave away 23 runs in extras, the highest 'free-runs' conceded in 2018 IPL so far.

    4/6

    Kohli is better when he bats at the top

    The last time Virat Kohli batted at number 4 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore was 50 innings ago, on 24 May 2014, against Chennai Super Kings at Bengaluru. Kohli scored 73 off 49 balls in that fixture. Since moving up the order, in 49 innings, Kohli has scored 2,103 runs an average of 55.34 and a strike rate of 139.83.

    6/6

    JP Duminy gets unlucky on his favourite turf
