The incident occurred in the 13th over of RCB's innings, bowled by left-arm spinner Kumar Kartikeya. Kohli stepped out and thumped the ball over long-on for a maximum. The fielder was briefly interested, but it sailed over his head for a maximum, and hit a cameraman's shoulder.

"The pitch was a little slower and lower than anywhere we played" - Phil Salt after his 92-run opening stand with Virat Kohli
Phil Salt, who earned the Player of the Match award for his 65 off 33 deliveries, opened up on his battle with new-ball bowler Jofra Archer. Salt said at the post-match presentation:
"Very pleased. Always pleased to contribute to a win, especially on the road. I gave it a chance early doors to try and hit it through off when he was swinging it. Me and Jofra have a lot of battles in the nets. He has bowled to me more than anyone else. I have faced him more than anyone else. The pitch was a little slower and lower than anywhere we played. Had an opportunity in the powerplay to put a stamp. Rajasthan played quite well, our bowlers got the plans right here. They shut the sides and made them hit straight. (via ESPNCricinfo)"
