Daredevils vs RCB, 21st match at Bengaluru, IPL, Apr 16 2013 - Match Result
Match tied (RCB won the one-over eliminator)
Chris Gayle has become the fastest to 5000 runs in T20s (132 inns), going past Brad Hodge's 166
de Villiers and Virat Kohli's 103-run partnership is RCB's highest for the 3rd wicket in IPL, breaking the record of 91 between Dilshan and de Villiers
Phew. That does it for the night. Good bye
Virat Kohli is the Man of the Match.
Virat Kohli: "Fourth last-ball finish for us, our time had to come in the Super Over i guess, but we should have won with an over to spare. Great comeback by DD and great hits by AB to get us back into the game. We needed 26 off 28 when AB got run out and I didnt get strike after that. I would have been really angry if we had lost today. Ravi bowled a great over to pull us back. It was a brilliant effort by the bowlers."
Mahela Jayawardene: "We are getting there. Four overs to go we were not in, couple of crucial wickets, we came back. In the super over, the first three-four balls were alright. That shows the character of the team, the guys are fighting, we need to handle those crucial situations better."
Hang on for the presentation
RCB end on the happier side of a Super Over this time, after their loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Their collapse lends more credence to those saying their batting starts and ends with Gayle, AB and Kohli. Two of their four wins now have come without Gayle firing, though, and that is a start towards gaining some balance
Fifth successive losses for Delhi now, they were all but out of this match before RCB handed them a lifeline and yanked it back late
AB de Villiers says he felt responsible for starting the collapse and was lucky to get back in the Super Over with those two sixes. Also credits Rampaul for delivering with the ball
Kohli clenches his fists and screams, a lot better than what he was uttering after getting out earlier
Vaaalpaiyan: "Just 2 seasons before, Sehwag would ve been automatic choice for super over in any team across IPL.. regardless of win or loss its painful to see Sehwag stays in dug-out during super over.."
he's picked out square leg this time, precious, just a single conceded off a full toss
holy moly, that has sailed over deep bacckward square leg for six, he's walked across to off and lifted a length delivery from there, no big swing, just a paddle flick
misses now, he misses, a low full toss, Irfan tries to go square on leg again, it eludes him just outside off
and IKP connects first ball, length on middle and off, and Irfan has swung it over square leg
Delhi trust in IK Pathan
Warner gone first ball, makes room to a back of a length ball and cuts, straight to Gayle at backward point, what a start for RCB
Right, Kohli and Jennings have a chat with the umpires, Kohli has the ball and hands it to Ravi Rampaul. No Vinay Kumar for RCB this time. Warner, and Sehwag Ben Rohrer it will be for Delhi
and one more, AB revives RCB in the Super Over with successive sixes, Umesh back of a length now and AB's slammed that over deep midwicket again, Kohli is pumped up in the dugout
AB connects big this time, on the knee to the express bowler, who bowls it on a good length, and AB slogs it several metres o the crowd over deep midwicket
Umesh hits the blockhole this time, outside off, and even AB cannot connect
cannot get under this full delivery, he's powered it flat on the bounce to long off
AB goes across to a high full toss but he can;t get it wide enough of deep midwicket
full and around the stumps, Gayle flays it down to long on
Gayle and AB DV walk out. Chinnaswamy on its feet. Umesh to bowl the Super Over. Gayle to face
RCB and the Super Over, Season's Take Two, from 129 for 2 chasing 153. Huddles, mini-huddles all around
we have a Super Over, Rampaul has missed again, but they have kept RCB in it with a scampered bye
Irfan aborts the delivery with non-striker backing up too much
dot ball, dot ball, Rampaul swings and misses a length delivery outside off
Vicky: "Hard to say this, Test of character and Kohli has failed."
Nadeem has raced across from long off and slid to save the boundary off a Rampaul straight hit, two taken
Himanshu: "everything started to happen when i started recharging my mobile online and i have still not finished recharging"
it is a high full toss but Vinay's flat-batted it straight down to long off
overpitched, he cannot get under it this time, and belts it down to long off
Ravi Rampaul has Virat Kohli on his feet in the dugout, this is full and wide, and he's scythed it flat and just over the deep extra cover boundary, Chinnaswamy roars as the umpire raises his hands
Milind: "Im sorry what just happened in blink of an eye?"
12 off 6. Irfan Pathan to bowl them
pitched up, hit down to long on
Now Kohli has hands on his head, he is still going on and on in the dugout
full and widish, squeezes a couple wide of third man
that has to be it, what a meltdown, absolute meltdown, Virat is furious at having done this, he's smashed this overpitched delivery in the air, and Mahela has made no mistake to his left at extra cover, Kohli swishes his bat violently a couple of times and walks back, mouthing anything and everything that comes to his mind
RCB are crumbling like a sand castle, Syed Mohammad tries to get under a length ball, but he's slogged it straight to Warner at long on
Ravi Kanthaliya: "This is going to be almost similar match as of KXIP vs KKR in the afternoon. First the tailenders fired in the first innings making their team to a good total. After that first 2 wickets fall early in 2nd innings and No.3 and 4 took their team to a comfortable position. And once they both got out, wickets fallen quickly and it changed the whole game. I hope DD wins this nail biting game."
hammers a low full toss to long on
hit high on the pad as he misses the work to leg, and they change ends
madness, Arun Karthik made some room and swung over mid on, Irfan chased all the way and pulled it back just inside, Karthik was happy with two, Kohli would have been on strike next over, but Virat wanted the third, Karthik was too late to start and Morkel did the rest
opened him up with one holding its line, thick edge to backward point
pushed behind point for one
direct hit and he was stranded miles outside, pushed one to backward point and set off, Warner just missed, they take the overthrow
full into the pads, turned in the air to deep square
presses forward and squeezes this length ball down to third man
Morkel to bowl out
Siddharth: "Dare I say it (and I would love if that happens!), if they get Kohli now, can DD pull off a heist like Kings XI di earlier today once Gambhir and Morgan were out?"
quick and spinning away outside off, defended
punched back to the bowler from the crease
