Yusuf Pathan and Andre Russell muscled Kolkata Knight Riders to a five-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore in Mondays IPL encounter. Half-centuries for Virat Kohli (52 from 44) - the highest run scorer in the 2016 tournament to date - and KL Rahul (52 from 32), coupled with Bangalores lower middle order pummelling 54 runs from their final three overs, propelled the hosts to an imposing 185-7 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.Kohlis men looked well in control when Pathan (60no from 29) and Russell (39 from 24) joined forces in the 11th over of the run chase with the score on 69-4, but the Kolkata pair lashed 96 in 44 balls as the visitors triumphed with five deliveries to spare. Virat Kohli (433) has scored the most runs in IPL 2016 to date Pathan and Russells pyrotechnics - they bashed three and four sixes respectively - lifted Knight Riders level on 10 points with second-placed Mumbai Indians, with Bangalore stuck on four after a third straight loss - and another failure for Chris Gayle.

Chawla then trapped AB de Villiers (4) lbw in his next over and Kohli was finally pouched by Russell - Kolkatas most economical bowler after shipping only 24 runs from his four overs - in the 17th having been dropped by visiting skipper Gautam Gambhir from Morkels previous delivery.Shane Watson (34 from 21), Sachin Baby (16 from 8) and Stuart Binny (16 from 4) peppered the boundary towards the death, though, with medium-pacer Binny then striking with the ball in Kolkatas opening over after having Robin Uthappa (1) caught by Kohli at point.Bangalore tightened their grip on the game when ousting the reliable Gambhir (37) in the ninth over but Russell - who was caught in the middle of the 18th over - and Pathans brutal display of hitting consigned the hosts to another defeat and secured Kolkata a first win in three.Catch more IPL action on Tuesday as Delhi Daredevils - victorious over Kolkata on Saturday due in large part to Sam Billings debut half-century - take on table toppers Gujarat Lions.

Messis 75th-minute goal answered some of the criticism the clubs all-time leading scorer had received for his lacklustre performances in the teams recent losses in the league, Champions League and Copa del Rey final.TORONTO – Amongst the data gathered by the Maple Leafs coaching staff and available to the team at large after every game is the total number of scoring chances created by each individual player (not to mention those generated by the opposition). And so despite the fact that James van Riemsdyk has scored just once in the past 10 games and has just three goals since the start of December, the 24-year-old believes he is generating opportunities that, for the time being, are going unrewarded. "Im creating a lot of chances," said van Riemsdyk, following a grueling Sunday practice which followed an ugly 7-1 showing at the ACC a night earlier. "As long as thats there I know Im going in the right direction. I know that its going to go in eventually." van Riemsdyk has blossomed into a bona-fide force during his brief tenure in Toronto. In 89 games with the club, hes scored 33 goals, totaled 62 points and was named to the U.S. Olympic team for the first time following Wednesdays Winter Classic in Ann Arbour. He remains on pace this season for career-highs in goals, assists, points, ice-time and just about every other offensive category. But after a torrid start – 12 goals in the first 25 games – he, like a number of Leafs, has cooled off into something of a slumber offensively. van Riemsdyk managed his 15th of the year against the Red Wings during the snowy New Years Day bash. The goal snapped an eight-game drought and was just his third since the outset of December. "Its a long season," he said. "You go through ebbs and flows; youve just got to stick with it." Luck has not been on his side amid the cool spell. A career 11 per cent shooter, van Riemsdyk has been successful on just 5 per cent of his 59 attempts during the 16-game struggle. A flurry of chances opposite Cam Talbot in the opening moments of Saturdays embarrassing showing against the Rangers ultimately went unfulfilled – as they have been in the past month. A confident personality, his swagger doesnt appear rattled. "Obviously its a game of bounces," said van Riemsdyk, who remains second on the team in scoring with 30 points in 41 games. "Its weird how sometimes you can get a lot of grade-A chances and the goalie makes big saves and you cant buy one. And then you maybe throw one at the net from a crazy angle and it hits off something and goes in. Youve just got to stick with, stay positive and go from there." That advice could well be served for 23-year-old Nazem Kadri. Kadri is lumbering through one of the driest spells of his short NHL career.dddddddddddd He has just one point in the past nine games and only four points in the past 14 outings. His growing pains have been notable after a quick start of 13 points in 14 games. "He seems to be in a little bit of a funk," said Randy Carlyle, observing that Kadri had been standing still too often in recent weeks and not moving his feet. "Our advice to him is commit to the time off the ice and when youre on the ice you work extremely hard and then you do extra and thats what hes doing right now." Kadri has seen some of his luck flounder this season - he posted an impressive 44 points in 48 games last year while owning the highest on-ice shooting percentage of any player in the league - while facing a nightly barrage of increased competition. A year ago, he lined up in the Leafs no. 3 centre hole, but with the offseason departure of Mikhail Grabovski and long-term injury to Dave Bolland, has been forced to rise up the depth chart, squaring off with a new level of talent every night. He even saw 12 games on the top line with Tyler Bozak sidelined by an oblique injury. Paired almost exclusively with Phil Kessel since he was traded to the Leafs, van Riemsdyk endured a similar challenge when he landed in Toronto. "Obviously being on [Kessels] line you see a lot of that [increased competition] and its a great challenge," said van Riemsdyk. "[But] its definitely a little bit different. When I was in Philadelphia I was definitely in more of a secondary role where youre expecting to play against probably their third [defence] pairing and not obviously their top checking line; you get a little bit more room out there." Carlyle pulled Kadri aside for a brief word at the end of Sundays practice, preaching persistence and hard work. "When things arent going well for yourself you have to be selfish and take a look in the mirror and say Hey Ive got to work myself out and the old adage was you put your nose to the grindstone and work your way through it," said Carlyle of Kadri, who wasnt available for interview on Sunday. "And I dont think that is too far from the way young players today should approach it." "Youve just got to stick with it I think," added van Riemsdyk, trying to break free from a slump himself. "You cant beat yourself up too much. Its a game of confidence and youve got to try to keep that confidence high throughout the whole year, get to work, and improve upon the things you can improve upon." ' ' '
