IPL opens with wins for Royal Challengers, Mumbai Indians

Sachin Tendulkar led from the front as Mumbai Indians launched their campaign in the second edition of the Indian Premier League with a stunning 19-run victory over last year's runners-up Chennai Super Kings on Saturday. The Mumbai Indians first rattled up a competitive 166 for seven riding on Tendulkar's masterly unbeaten 59 and quickfire 35 by Abhishek Nayar and then stopped Chennai Super Kings at 146 for seven in a tight game at the Newlands stadium.
