Virat Kohli’s RCB successfully defended 166 in Dubai by bowling out the defending champions for 111 in 18.1 overs with Yuzvendra Chahal and Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj also among the wickets along with Harshal.
Harshal Patel added the final touches with the wickets of Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Rahul Chahar to become the third RCB bowler to bag a IPL hat-trick after Praveen Kumar and Samuel Badree.
He finished with 4 for 17 from his 4 overs, one less than his five-for performance against MI in their previous match this season in the opening game in Chennai in April.
