Kohli takes Royal Challengers to 154/6 against Super Kings

Bangalore, May 24 (IANS) A captain's knock by Virat Kohli (73) helped Royal Challengers Bangalore score 154 for six in 20 overs against Chennai Super Kings in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here Saturday.

Put into bat, the Bangalore top order once again failed to fire putting the onus on the middle-order. A 55-run partnership between Yuvraj Singh (25) and Kohli was one of the bright spots for the hosts.

Former India pacer Ashish Nehra picked up three wickets while Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with a wicket apiece.
