Royal Challengers Bangalore stun IPL leaders Rajasthan Royals

Royal Challengers Bangalore stun Indian Premier League leaders Rajasthan Royals with a nine-wicket victory.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have stunned Indian Premier League leaders Rajasthan Royals by securing a nine-wicket victory in Ahmedabad.

Rajasthan, who were overwhelming favourites to beat their bottom-placed opponents, struggled for runs, with Steve Smith top-scoring with 31 off 28 balls.

Openers Ajinkya Rahane and Shane Watson hit just 18 and 26 runs respectively, while Mitchell Starc impressed on the field with three wickets to his name.

In reply, big-hitter Chris Gayle teamed up with Virat Kohli, and while the former hit 20 off 17 deliveries before getting dismissed by Watson, the latter ramped up the runs.

Kohli and AB de Villiers put on a stunning partnership as they reached their 131-run target with unbeaten knocks of 62 and 47 respectively.

Royal Challengers won the game with 23 balls remaining.
