RCB 149-3 (14 ovs) vs Sunrisers 208-7 | Scorecard

Left-arm spinner Bipul Sharma comes into the attack. Kohli slaps the second ball through midwicket for a four to take his IPL career tally to 4099 runs and go past Suresh Raina for the most runs in the history of IPL.

Other than the four, Kohli and AB de Villiers pick singles off the remaining five deliveries to keep the momentum going.

Kohli comes down, makes room before hitting another cracking inside out lofted shot for a six to race to his fifty in grand style, from 32 balls.

Kohli then turns the third ball to deep square leg for two runs before he turns the next to midwicket for another couple.

But Sran gets revenge with the BIG wicket of Kohli, who is bowled for 54. He again tries to hit it through the off-side but gets an inside edge back on to his stumps.

Kohli misses the 1000-run mark, but ends the tournament with a massive record tally of 973 runs from 16 matches at an average of 81 with a strike rate of 152, having hit four hundreds and seven fifties.

KL Rahul sweeps left-arm spinner square on the leg side as Bhuvi makes a poor effort at fine leg to give away a four.

However, RCB suffer another big blow as AB de Villiers miscues the lofted shot down the ground and is caught at mid-off for five.

The crowd has been stunned into silence as Kohli and AB perish within seven deliveries as RCB are reduced to 149 for three in 14 overs, needing another 60 runs from six overs for victory.
