Kohli had been going through one of his leanest runs with the bat in the league. He had brought up a half-century earlier in the tournament as well, scoring 58 off 53 balls also against the Titans but the former India and RCB captain had come under criticism for his slow scoring rate.
Kohli looked like a different batter on Thursday as he aimed to play on the front foot and attack the bowlers from the word go. Fans went crazy on social media after seeing King Kohli come back to form.
Chasing 169, Kohli, who struck eight boundaries and two sixes, and captain Faf du Plessis (44) laid the foundation with a 115-run stand. Glenn Maxwell (40 not out off 18) provided the finishing touches as RCB romped home with eight balls remaining.
