Skipper Virat Kohli led from the front with a 45-ball 58 as Royal Challengers Bangalore posted a respectable 161 for six against Delhi Daredevils in an inconsequential IPL tie last night.


In reply, Delhi were bowled out for 151 to hand RCB a 10-run victory.


Earlier, RCB opener Chris Gayle made up for his two consecutive ducks with a 38-ball 48 after RCB opted to bat. In the final over, Pawan Negi smashed three successive fours to help the side cross the 150 mark.

Having failed to open his account in the last two ties, Gayle started RCB's innings in earnest, clipping Daredevils captain Zaheer Khan off his legs for two boundaries in the first over.

The big-hitting West Indian then sliced Mohammed Shami for a six over third man, before lofting the seamer's slower delivery over deep midwicket for another maximum. Even as Gayle threatened, Delhi got the first breakthrough when Pat Cummins rattled Vishnu Vinod's stumps.
