After a rare failure in the first IPL game, KL Rahul came out all guns blazing as he smoked the RCB bowlers for an unbeaten 132 from 69 deliveries. He had his fair share of fortune as Kohli dropped him twice. However, even of Kohli would have gobbled up the catches, Rahul still managed to stitch a brilliant innings before that.
Once Kohli dropped Rahul for the second time, he went nuclear, clubbing the bowlers all over the park. Twitter hailed the return of Rahul in thw grandest fashion.
