Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 4 wkts in IPL 2018

Barring a minor hiccup at 87 for 4, RCB were always going to get 156, weren't they? It was AB de Villiers's 57 that sealed the deal for the hosts. KXIP fought well but they really lost the game with the bat in IPL 2018. Should have batted a little more responsibly. Points on the board for RCB! That's it from us tonight. Stay around for the report. That'll be served to you nice and good.


Prakash was at the Chinnaswamy and I suspect he'll find something from the game that we may have missed out. Watch out for that. I'll leave you with our experts on Cricbuzz live! Enjoy!

RCB finally 5 to win from 6 . Don't let that dizzy you too much; life hasn't always been rewarding. And to add to your astonishment, this was also a home victory for RCB after going six games without a win at Chinnaswamy last year. A homecoming in more ways than one, and Virat will hope this continues into the next game for them, which is here, day after, against Rajasthan. But we'll see you before that, at the double-header tomorrow.

Umesh Yadav said that backing myself and my strengths, bowling quick at the stumps. Whatever you want, you do it is what Kohli and the coach tells. They want me to bowl with pace and attack the stumps, and not worry about the variations. This pitch was slow; Kolkata pitch was quick, where the back of a length ball was kicking. If you bowl on a length here then the ball was skidding and that helped me. I think I enjoyed Yuvraj Singh's wicket the most.

Virat Kohli was Very happy. First home game is crucial. Last year, we couldn't get off to a start. Crowd has a lot of expectations, and tonight was a game we wanted badly, especially in the initial stages of the tournament. We knew new ball will come on nicely, and the batsmen hit some good shots. Umesh bowled well; getting three wickets in an over is great. Our mindset is - we want our best bowlers to step up and get confident early on. When only five are playing, you have to hit your areas well. They have done well. I think 170 would have been par. (The pitch is) Slightly better than the last year but against the older ball, middle overs can be difficult. We have lost two wickets in two balls in the last two games, so we have to work on them. Maybe stitch a little partnership. Back to back wickets pushes you back in the eight ball.

AB de Villiers said  Really wanted to get over the line. Wanted to be not out in the end but feel sorry that I got out and put pressure on the lower order batsmen. I love guiding the team to victory being unbeaten, unfortunately couldn't do that. Anyways, credit to their bowling unit. The wicket was little bit on the slower side and Yuzi (Chahal) and Sundar bowled well. They got the important wickets and got the momentum our way at half stage. It's a really special place to play cricket - the Chinnaswamy in IPL 2018 . Get a lot of crowd support here. We didn't have a good season last year but we are going to make up for it this year.
