Virat Kohli's RCB has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Kings XI Punjab in Bengaluru on Friday.


Royal Challengers Bengaluru are hoping to get their campaign back on track after an opening game defeat.

Skipper Virat Kohli, surprisingly, played second fiddle by scoring 31 off 33 balls, and he would like to have a better outing against KXIP.

Punjab are coming into the match with their tails up, having started the season on a resounding note, beating Delhi Daredevils by six wickets.

Local player KL Rahul, who scripted victory with the fastest-ever fifty in IPL, will be seeking to repeat his show, and he is playing at home.

Rahul had smashed six boundaries and four sixes in his 16-ball-51.

Karun Nair, who scored a 33-ball fifty, also would be keen to continue the good work.

Yuvraj Singh, who looked a pale shadow of his old self in the last match where he got 12 off 22 balls, would be keen to regain his touch.
