Kolkata: Threat turned into nightmare as Royal Challengers Bangalore kept on course for a playoff berth with a nine-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on Monday.

Needing to win their last four games, RCB have now ticked two boxes, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers again flaunting destructive form as KKR's 183 was chased down with eight balls to spare. The two had demolished Gujarat Lions in Bangalore a couple of nights ago with a partnership of 229 off 98.
