Both Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar scored fifty runs, but both left the field in rapid succession.<\/p>\n<p>In the 13th over, Kohli hit his fifty with a single off Mohammad Shami.<\/p>\n<p>In the PowerPlay, Kohli was rough on Shami and Alzzari Joseph, lashing them with full balls. In the sixth over, Joseph struck with a flick through midwicket and a perfectly timed shot. Shami eventually bowled him for 58 runs.<\/p>\n<p>With 43 half centuries so far, former RCB captain, Virat Kohli, holds the league record for most half centuries taken for a franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Virat Kohli has been in dreadful form since the start of the season, as he has been dismissed twice in a row for golden ducks. His fifty in this match would hopefully bring him back to form.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">First fifty for King Kohli in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IPL2022?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IPL2022<\/a> \u2013 50* from 45 balls including 5 fours and 1 six.
