Star batting duo of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis took the Mumbai bowlers to the cleaners with a 148-run opening partnership as Royal Challengers Bangalore made a sensational start to their IPL campaign with a comprehensive eight-wicket win over Mumbai Indians. Sent into bat, Tilak Varma smashed a scintillating 84 off 46 balls to single-handedly power MI to 171 for seven but RCB duo of Kohli and du Plessis bludgeoned Mumbai's bowlers all over the Bangalore stadium, slamming twin fifties as RCB romped home with as many as 22 balls to spare. Virat Kohli (82 not out) and Du Plessis (73) produced an exhibition of sublime stroke-play, plundering 10 boundaries and as many maximums as Bengaluru started off their IPL 2023 campaign with a win.
