IPL 2016, Stats: Yusuf Pathan helps KKR construct brilliant chase to defeat RCB by 5 wickets

Gayle had a disappointing return as he was dismissed cheaply

Royal Challengers Bangalore's bowling woes in the Indian Premier League (IPL) continued as they yet again failed to defend a competitive score. After having been put to bat first, RCB scored 185 in 20 overs, after fifties from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul.

Although KKR were down to 69/4 in 10.1 overs, RCB's bowling failed them as Yusuf Pathan and Andre Russell played brilliant knocks to stage what was a thrilling chase.

Here are the major stats from the game:

3 – KL Rahul has scored three consecutive fifties in the IPL for the first time in his career. He had no 50-plus score in the first 20 innings of his IPL career.
