The cover drive off Russell and the off drive off Johnson by Kohli are two of the best strokes I’ve seen this IPL: poise, balance, timing, placement all perfect. Master at work. @RCBTweets need him to bat thru! #ReinventYourGame #RCBvKKR

Mitch Johnson the most expensive KKR bowler. Obviously Kohli reserves the most severe punishment for the Aussies. #IPL
