The hosts scored 204/7 after batting first, and in reply, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis rich RCB were bundled out for just 123 runs. It was a comprehensive victory for the Knights who get off the mark in this season.
And it was KKR spinners who decimated the RCB innings. The spinning trio of the Knights picked up 9 wickets as the Bangalore batting unit made a sorry procession in front of them. Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine inflicted the majority of the damage, but young debutant Suyash Sharma impressed on his debut.

He came on as the Impact Player and has left a very vivid impact with his performance.
