In response, the tourists kicked off the chase on a flying note, courtesy of a 40-run partnership between openers Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. Although the latter was outdone by R Sai Kishore in the fourth over, Kohli continued the charge to sum up a 63-run powerplay. Will Jacks looked struggling against the spin triumvirate of Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, and Sai Kishore and therefore Kohli kept most of the strike against them, keeping RCB commanding in the game. The score read 98/0 halfway through the chase with Jacks striking at 16 off 16. Soon, Mohit Sharma was summoned in the attack and the Englishman broke free with a six and a four. The pair accelerated for 50 runs in the next four overs, curtailing the equation to 53 required off the last six overs. One may think this could take at least three-four overs time for a chase but Jacks had some other options and slammed 58 runs off the next two overs with four sixes a four against Rashid Khan to bring up his maiden IPL century and win the game with 24 balls to spare.
