Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting star Virat Kohli signalled 'one more' to his wife Anushka Sharma after they stormed into their fourth IPL final as they beat the Punjab Kings comprehensively on Thursday to get there. With Kohli signalling to his wife that the RCB are one game away from the title, the Bollywood actress was seen clapping at the stands.

Only three Punjab Kings' batters managed to reach double figures as Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma took three wickets each to bowl out the opposition out for 101 in 14.1 overs.

"One day of non-practice won't harm you" - Rajat Patidar

At the post-match presentation, RCB captain Rajat Patidar credited Suyash Sharma and Phil Salt the most for taking three wickets and belting an unbeaten 56, respectively.

"We were very clear in our plans and how we have to bowl. Fast bowlers used the surface well, Suyash chipped in well. He bowls in line of the stumps, which is his strength. I don't give him a lot of ideas, don't want to confuse him. We had done a lot of practice throughout the tournament. One day of non-practice won't harm you. The way [Salt] is batting in every match, the way he is giving us starts, it is a treat. I am a big fan of him."

RCB are one of the finalists on June 3, which will take place in Ahmedabad.
