Royal Challengers Bengaluru win Indian Premier League title
AHMEDABAD, India (AP) — Royal Challengers Bengaluru earned their first Indian Premier League title by beating Punjab Kings by six runs on Tuesday.
Bengaluru finished runners-up in 2009, 2011 and 2016, but finally won at the Narendra Modi Stadium — thanks largely to Krunal Pandya's sensational spell of 2-17 in four overs.
Virat Kohli shed a tear as Bengaluru clinched victory.
Kohli top-scored for Bengaluru with 43 runs off 35 balls to help put up 190-9 in 20 overs. Pacers Arshdeep Singh (3-40) and Kyle Jamieson (3-48) shared six wickets between them.
Punjab's reply stuttered after a good start and despite a consolation half-century from Shashank Singh, it fell short and finished with 184-7 (20 overs).

For Errani, it was another trophy won at Roland-Garros, after winning Olympic gold in women's doubles with compatriot Jasmine Paolini last year. 'Let's see if I will see you next year, let's hope,' the 38-year-old Errani, who was a 2012 French Open singles runner-up, told the crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier. She thanked King for playing with her. 'We're running it back at Wimbledon so we're going to try it again,' she said. ___

James injured a hamstring against Belgium on April 4 and was the biggest doubt ahead of England coach Sarina Wiegman's squad selection.
