He rotated strike smartly and allowed Phil Salt &#8211; who was in destructive form &#8211; to dominate the bowling.<!-- --> Salt\u2019s blistering knock, along with half-centuries from skipper Rajat Patidar and Kohli, and a late flourish from Tim David, powered RCB to a daunting 240\/4 against <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/mumbai-indians\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Mumbai Indians<\/a>.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Salt smashed 78 off 36 balls, sharing a 120-run opening stand with Kohli, who made 50 off 38 deliveries. Patidar then kept the momentum going with a 20-ball 53, adding 65 runs with Kohli, before David\u2019s unbeaten 34 off 16 balls provided the finishing touches.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\".\" msid=\"130219030\" width=\"\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/msid-130219030\/.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>In response, Mumbai Indians managed 222\/5, falling short despite a promising start. RCB spinner Suyash Sharma delivered the decisive blow with a double strike in the eighth over, halting the chase at a crucial stage.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>However, one of the most talked-about moments came after Kohli\u2019s dismissal. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Having reached his second fifty of the season, Kohli was removed by Hardik Pandya. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>As he walked back to the pavilion, the usually composed batter was visibly furious.
