Mumbai, April 22 : Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) openers Devdutt Padikkal and skipper Virat Kohli for once put AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell to the background as they put up a record 181-run opening stand to help their franchise script a 10-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Thursday.
Chasing 178 for victory, Padikkal, who is coming off a remarkable domestic season in which he scored 737 runs at an average of 147.4, raced to an unbeaten 101 off 52 deliveries to lead the charge, while Kohli got his first half-century of this IPL season, remaining unbeaten on 72 off 47 deliveries.
