Despite fireworks from Virat Kohli on his return to the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) could only manage an average total of 142/5 against Mumbai Indians at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. Kohli made his comeback after a shoulder injury to score his 27th IPL half-century. AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle also chipped in with 19 and 22 respectively but overall the much-talked about RCB batting failed to fire. Mumbai Indians were quite economical with three out of six averaging less than six per over. (Live Scorecard)
