When you drop Kohli in a chase, it becomes difficult: KKR head coach Nayar

RAIPUR: (May 14) Kolkata Knight Riders coach Abhishek Nayar admitted that dropping Virat Kohli early in his innings proved costly, as the batting stalwart went on to score an unbeaten century and power Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a six-wicket win in their latest IPL match here.

Kohli was dropped on 21 by Rovman Powell off Kartik Tyagi, which proved decisive as the master batter went on to strike an unbeaten 105 off 60 to guide RCB to the top of the standings on Wednesday night.

Chasing 193, Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal (39) forged a robust 92-run stand for the second-wicket.
