Kohli fell for his third golden duck of the season, taking his career tally in the IPL to six.

IPL 2022, RCB vs SRH: Faf, Hasaranga guide Royal Challengers Bangalore to 67-run romp over Sunrisers Hyderabad
Royal Challengers Bangalore recovered from an ordinary start. Sunrisers Hyderabad didn't and suffered their fourth successive defeat. Like in the match at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday afternoon, the tendency to leave it late - they needed 124 from the last 10 overs and 82 from last five - will impact the playoff chances of Sunrisers Hyderabad, who faltered once again in the chase and lost by 67 runs after succumbing to the wiles of Wanindu Hasaranga (5/18). AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD | POINTS TABLETwo wickets in the first over meant SRH had their task cut out in overhauling RCB's 192 for three, which was built on the second wicket partnership of 105 (73b) between skipper Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar (48; 38b, 4x4, 6x2), and Dinesh Karthik's blitzkrieg. Karthik's unbeaten 30 (8b, 4x1, 6x4) included 25 in the final over by Fazalhaq Farooqi as the SRH pace attack felt the brunt of the RCB batters smarting from their nine-wicket defeat in the first leg. On a wicket where taking pace off the ball yielded dividends, the SRH attack floundered with the trio of Umran Malik, Kartik Tyagi and Farooqi conceding 114 runs in their 10 overs.
