India batsmen combine to inspire easy 8-wicket win for Royal Challengers Bangalore

Sharjah: It was not for nothing that Virat Kohli, the Royals Challengers Bangalore skipper, insisted on having Yuvraj Singh in their dugout for the IPL VII.

The current poster boy and the erstwhile star of Indian cricket rocked at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday to guide their team to an eight-wicket victory over Delhi Daredevils in the second match of the season.

Chasing a modest target of 146 to win, Singh joined his skipper at the fall of Parthiv Patel’s wicket — the pint-sized stumper contributing a quick-fire 37 off 28 balls.

The two then unleashed a flurry of sixes all around the park to win the game for their team with 20 balls to spare.
