Royal Challengers Bengaluru win Indian Premier League title
Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricketers in frenzy after wining the Indian Premier League title.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru earned their first Indian Premier League title by beating Punjab Kings by six runs on Tuesday.
Bengaluru finished runners-up in 2009, 2011 and 2016, but finally won at the Narendra Modi Stadium — thanks largely to Krunal Pandya’s sensational spell of 2-17 in four overs.
Virat Kohli shed a tear as Bengaluru clinched victory, reports AP.
Kohli top-scored for Bengaluru with 43 runs off 35 balls to help put up 190-9 in 20 overs. Pacers Arshdeep Singh (3-40) and Kyle Jamieson (3-48) shared six wickets between them.
Punjab’s reply stuttered after a good start and despite a consolation half-century from Shashank Singh, it fell short and finished with 184-7 (20 overs). - UNB
