Bengaluru: Giving a major boost to the struggling Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the tenth season of Indian Premier League (IPL), its regular skipper Virat Kohli returned to the playing XI for the big clash against Mumbai Indians at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here on Friday.

Winning the toss, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma elected to field first in absence of team’s frontline paceman Lasith Malinga, who is reportedly unwell. Tim Southee has been given a chance in his place.
