It is unclear whether both Kohli and Ganguly decided not to shake hands when Ganguly passed them while Kohli was talking to Ponting. Ganguly appeared to be in a good mood after the match in Bengaluru, and he went on to shake hands with the majority of the RCB cricketers.
    Royal Challengers Bangalore returned to winning ways with a dominant 23-run victory over Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League in Bengaluru on Saturday, led by Vijaykumar Vyshak’s three wickets on debut.
    Kohli (50 off 34 balls) smashed his third fifty in four innings, thanks to six boundaries and a six, before left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav (4-1-23-2) led Delhi Capitals’ charge in the middle overs, limiting RCB to 174/6 after David Warner chose to bowl.
    The bottom-placed Delhi side, who came into the game with four consecutive losses, then made a mockery of the 175-run chase, being restricted to 151/9 in the allotted 20 overs.
    In the powerplay, Delhi lost four wickets, including skipper Warner (19 off 13 balls), and they were 2 runs for 3 wickets at one point.
    source: Republic of gamesTime is running out for Ricky Ponting’s side, who have yet to open their account after five matches. They now have the difficult task of winning eight of their remaining nine matches in order to qualify for the play-offs.
    RCB, on the other hand, has gotten their season back on track after two consecutive losses, with four points from as many games. Vyshak, who was given his debut in place of Karn Sharma, caught Warner with a slower delivery on his way to a memorable haul of 3/20.
