Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers notched up brilliant half-centuries to inspire Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) first win in Indian Premier League (IPL) - 2019 as they scored 174/2 in 19.2 overs to beat Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by eight wickets at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali yesterday.
In the chase, Parthiv Patel (19) and Kohli (67) got RCB off to a good start. Following the dismissal of the former, Kohli along with de Villiers (59) forged a key partnership keeping KXIP bowlers at bay to take away the match from the hosts.
