Royal Challengers won their third match in a row as they breezed past R Ashwin’s Kings XI Punjab by 17 runs on Wednesday, April 25. Virat Kohli’s side finally got a promotion from the number 8 position and after three wins, they are at number 7 on the points table.

“Yeah, we’ve won four of the five. Could have been five out of five. We were just looking to enjoy the cricket and tonight was a great example of having fun. So we just refreshed, thought about just enjoying ourselves and the important thing now is not to take on any pressure. We know how we play. The world knows how we play,” Kohli said after the match.

AB de Villiers’ unbeaten 82 off 44 balls took RCB to a healthy 202 for 4 and things could have gone awry with young Nicholas Pooran (46 off 28 balls) hitting five sixes at the rear before Saini sealed it in the 19th over. Kings XI Punjab finished on 185 for 7 as RCB are now on eight points with three games left.

Here is the updated points table:
