RCB will need to get his wicket if they want to win.

One handed stunner from Parnell and the crowd is screaming!!

Saha thumps the drive over the infield and he seemed to have timed it well.

BUT, Parnell, at cover, leaps up to his fullest and plucks the ball out of thin air.

The Gujarat Titans players go to congratulate Kohli for his 100.

After a good start, RCB lost their way with three quick wickets. However, Kohli staged a recovery along with Bracewell and then with Anuj Rawat at the end. 

Now with 197 on the board, RCB bowlers will need to take the wickets to win the game and enter the Playoffs.

Consecutive 100s from Kohli. 

The crowd and Anushka Sharma are thrilled.
