Star batters Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal delivered commanding half-centuries to help Royal Challengers Bengaluru post a formidable total of 205 for five against Rajasthan Royals in their IPL clash on Thursday.

On a pitch that didn’t allow for free-flowing stroke-play, the duo anchored the innings with a 95-run stand for the second wicket, setting the platform for a strong finish.
