Yusuf Pathan and Andre Russell muscled Kolkata Knight Riders to a five-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore in Mondays IPL encounter. Half-centuries for Virat Kohli (52 from 44) - the highest run scorer in the 2016 tournament to date - and KL Rahul (52 from 32), coupled with Bangalores lower middle order pummelling 54 runs from their final three overs, propelled the hosts to an imposing 185-7 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.Kohlis men looked well in control when Pathan (60no from 29) and Russell (39 from 24) joined forces in the 11th over of the run chase with the score on 69-4, but the Kolkata pair lashed 96 in 44 balls as the visitors triumphed with five deliveries to spare. Virat Kohli (433) has scored the most runs in IPL 2016 to date Pathan and Russells pyrotechnics - they bashed three and four sixes respectively - lifted Knight Riders level on 10 points with second-placed Mumbai Indians, with Bangalore stuck on four after a third straight loss - and another failure for Chris Gayle.

Chawla then trapped AB de Villiers (4) lbw in his next over and Kohli was finally pouched by Russell - Kolkatas most economical bowler after shipping only 24 runs from his four overs - in the 17th having been dropped by visiting skipper Gautam Gambhir from Morkels previous delivery.Shane Watson (34 from 21), Sachin Baby (16 from 8) and Stuart Binny (16 from 4) peppered the boundary towards the death, though, with medium-pacer Binny then striking with the ball in Kolkatas opening over after having Robin Uthappa (1) caught by Kohli at point.Bangalore tightened their grip on the game when ousting the reliable Gambhir (37) in the ninth over but Russell - who was caught in the middle of the 18th over - and Pathans brutal display of hitting consigned the hosts to another defeat and secured Kolkata a first win in three.Catch more IPL action on Tuesday as Delhi Daredevils - victorious over Kolkata on Saturday due in large part to Sam Billings debut half-century - take on table toppers Gujarat Lions.
