Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash here on Sunday.
For the hosts, India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned to captain the side after Kane Williamson picked up a niggle and "needed to get a break".
