Royal Challengers Bengaluru were the table toppers at the end of a frantic Sunday in the IPL after they defeated the Delhi by six wickets to leap over Gujarat Titans into top spot. RCB boys Virat Kohli and Josh Hazlewood also led the individual races for the top run-scorer and the top wicket-taker in the season.

The day started with Mumbai Indians defeating the Lucknow Super Giants by 54 runs to rack up their fifth win on the trot. For Mumbai, this has been a remarkable turnaround.

Not, thanks to a run of five wins in a row, Mumbai Indians are third in the standings.
