Kohli scored his first 50 of the season against the Royals.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli scored his first fifty of the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) season against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday.

Having come into bat in the fourth over in chase of 155, Kohli got off to a slow start before finding some much-needed form.

He was dropped by Rahul Tewatia on 41 before he completed his fifty, which included with four fours and two sixes, off 41 balls.

The half century was Kohli's first in nine IPL innings.
