Du Plessis smashed an unbeaten 79 off just 46 deliveries, bringing up his 27th IPL half-century in 35 deliveries and helping RCB post a formidable 212/2 on the board at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

What was impressive about du Plessis’ knock was the manner in which he shifted gears; he had played second fiddle when Virat Kohli was going slam bang, and decided to take the attack to the Lucknow bowling unit after Glenn Maxwell’s arrival at the crease.

Du Plessis smashed five fours and as many sixes during his stay at the crease, going past 300 sixes in T20 cricket in the process. And among those sixes was a monster 115-metre hit off Ravi Bishnoi in the 15th over of the Bangalore innings.
