AB de Villiers Stars as Royal Challengers Spoil Kochi Party

AB de Villiers hit five sixes and forged a 52-run partnership with Saurabh Tiwary to

ensure Royal Challengers Bangalore won their first match of IPL 2011.

Bangalore played a matured game as they played Muralitharan and  Jadeja with some caution as the seamers leaked runs at the other end. At the end they won the first match comfortably even though they were facing a challenging target of 162 to win.
