Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Virat Kohli ended their drought by winning a maiden Indian Premier League title, beating Punjab Kings by six runs in the final in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
Bengaluru posted a modest 190 for nine with Kohli, their leading scorer this season, top scoring for them with a composed 43. It was, however, their bowling which secured their win after they restricted Punjab to 184 for seven despite Shashank Singh’s unbeaten 61 off 30 balls.
