IPL 2020 postponed: Virat Kohli's heroics against KKR last season 

Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore took on the Dinesh Karthik-led Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens.

Put in to bat, RCB got off to an ordinary start before Virat Kohli and Moeen Ali stitched a stellar 90-run partnership. Kohli got to his half-century off 40 deliveries, but later changed gears to reach the 100-run mark in the next 17 balls. Kohli's heroics helped RCB amass 91 in their last five overs to post a daunting score of 213, which in the end proved to be enough to hand RCB their second win of IPL 2019. Virat Kohli's 100 against KKR was his fifth in the IPL and his first since 2016.
