Royal Challengers' boss Vijay Mallya over the moon

Bangalore Royal Challengersu00a0 team owner Vijay Mallya celebrated their 75-run win over defending champions Rajasthan Royals in style with champagne flowing at an Indian restaurant called Bukhara here on Saturday night.

Anil Kumble took a fifer in BRC's win.

Shane Warne's Royals were bowled out for 58 thanks to a five-wicket burst from former India captain Anil Kumble. Batting first in Cape Town, the Bangalore outfit scored a modest 133-8. Critics called Mallya's team a Test match outfit after they failed last year. "Look what a changed approach can do," exclaimed Mallya. "To bowl out the defending champions for the lowest score in the IPL is a phenomenal achievement," said Mallya who is here to follow his Formula One team's progress in the Shanghai GP. "Let us hope Force India do the same, tomorrow," he said. Rahul Dravid claimed the man of the match award for his outstanding innings of 66 in 48 balls.
