Bangalore, May 2 (IBNS) Chasing 186 runs for victory, KKR reached the target with five balls to spare here on Monday.

Chahal was the pick of the Bangalore bowlers, picking up 2 wickets. One each was picked by Binny, Aravind and Watson.

Chris Gayle, (7) who was making a comeback after the birth of his daughter, failed to make a contribution.

Virat Kohli's good run continues as he scored yet another half-century and gained back the Orange Cap from his Sunrisers counterpart David Warner.

Kohli scored 52 runs off 44 balls and hit four fours. He was also involved in a 84-run stand along with K L Rahul for the second wicket.

Rahul, who scored 52 runs off 32 deliveries, completed a hattrick of half-centuries. His innings was laden with six fours and two sixes.

Though AB de Villiers (4) failed to contribute much, Shane Watson played a handy knock of 34 runs in 21 balls and hit five fours and a six.

The RCB innings gained momentum in the last couple of overs as Sachin Baby (16 off 8 balls) and Stuart Binny (16 off 4 balls) found the fence with ease.
