The stage is set for the playoffs to commence, as the spots have all been occupied for the final showdown. The Royal Challengers Bangalore have qualified as the second ranked side after the end of the first round. Riding on the brilliance of skipper Virat Kohli yet again, the Royal Challengers convincingly beat the Delhi Daredevils in Raipur.
Delhi’s batting was a serious disappoint as none of the batsmen could get going against the Royal Challengers. Quinton De Kock top scored with his knock of 60, but that wasn’t good enough on the day. Virat Kohli led from the front with another half century to guide the Royal Challengers home. Fans on Twitter reacted to the game, and below are some of the tweets.
Virat scored 900 runs in 14 IPL matches and there are some Asian teams who’s batsman cannot score that many run in calender year ?? #DDvRCB

Kohli just made his 10th half century today. Once in my Childhood also made more than 10 century in one season “Garmi Ka Season” ?

17th 50+ score for @imVkohli in T20s this year – most by a batsman in a single year. He goes past Gayle’s 16 such scores in 2012. #DDvRCB

This guy @imVkohli can score a Fiery 100 in 15 overs match & even score a Responsible 50 in 20 over game. #TeamPlayer #HungerForRuns #DDvRCB
