It was a night dotted with chilling certainty. Royal Challengers Bengaluru translated their domination from Day 1 of this IPL into a second successive title, and Virat Kohli anchored that five-wicket romp over Gujarat Titans with a patented chase masterclass of unbeaten 75 here on Sunday. If the Titans’ innings of 155 for eight was filled with trepidation, Royal Challengers’ 161 for five in 18 overs was full of intent and confidence. And those words are forever entwined with Kohli’s batting, and the latest evidence was his 42-ball unbeaten innings. Kohli and Venkatesh added 62 runs in just 4.3 overs to rain even on the distant dreams of the Titans.
