RCB 248-3 (20 ovs) vs Gujarat | Scorecard

The last two overs have gone for 60 runs as Kohli and de Villiers have produced a batting masterclass.

De Villiers turns the first ball from Praveen for a single to bring Kohli back on strike, who flicks the second ball to midwicket for two runs.

The RCB captain smashes the third ball, straight back over the bowler's head for a six, to bring up his century from just 53 balls.

This is Kohli's third century in the ongoing IPL, and he is the only batsman to do, as he continues to set the cricketing world on fire with his amazing and consistent displays with the bat.

Praveen then drops one short as Kohli pulls it over midwicket for a six to continue the carnage.

And finally some respite for Gujarat as Bravo comes up with a sharp catch at square leg to dismiss Kohli, who walks back after a splendid innings of 109 from 55 balls, having hit five fours and eight sixes.

He put on a quickfire stand of 229 runs from 98 balls for the second with AB, who finishes unbeaten on 129 from 52 balls, laced with 10 fours and 12 sixes.

A slight relief for Gujarat as they claim two wickets from the last two balls as Shane Watson is caught behind off a slower ball fora duck.

RCB finish on a mammoth 248 for three in their 20 overs, scoring at a run rate of 12.40.
