1/8

Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore and Eoin Morgan's Kolkata Knight Riders faced off in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday night in the Indian Premier League.

2/8

KKR won the toss but that was about as good as it got for Morgan's men as they opted to bat first and had a complete nightmare in front of the RCB bowlers.

3/8

Mohammed Siraj’s history-making spell helped RCB rout their opponents. Kolkata slumped to 84-8, the lowest total of the season.

4/8

Siraj scalped two in the second over with his outswingers. Another followed in Siraj’s second over, and Kolkata were in deep trouble. With two consecutive maidens, Siraj created history in the IPL.

5/8

Yuzvendra Chahal inflicted further damage, and the Kolkata innings was beyond repair. Morgan (30 runs off 34 balls) played a lone hand, and finally, the pressure got to him as well.

6/8

Bangalore faced little trouble in chasing their target down for the loss of two wickets. Devdutt Padikkal (25 off 17) unleashed a series of lofted boundaries.

7/8

There was a slight wobble in the seventh over, when RCB lost two wickets, but there were no further alarms.

8/8

The win took RCB joint-top of the points table on 14 points alongside Delhi Capitals, four ahead of KKR in fourth spot.
