And when the requirements are large someone larger than those needs to step up and exactly that happened. It was a boisterous knock from the West Indian Chris Gayle; he batted RCB to a win single handedly with his 57 balls 117. Skipper Kohli and AB de Villiers contributed to the total as well. And when the Kings came out to bat, the RCB bowlers gave them absolutely nothing to go for and what we saw was one of the finest pace bowling show by two young left arm pacers, India’s S Arvind and Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc both of whom accounted for 4 wickets each. With the AB fire works towards the end RCB piled on 226 on the board for the loss of 3 wickets in their 20 over’s. 8.

The top three men in their list read Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers; is there anything in the game of cricket with the bat that the three of them are not capable of? Mumbai Indians bowlers were subjected to some raw treatment, though they got rid of Gayle early in the innings. Skipper Kohli made the most of the life given to him and AB de, what do I tell off him, he is the most exciting batsman in world cricket today.
