Via.com congratulates the
winning RCB team for their excellent performance and wishes AB De Villiers to
continue his marvelous innings throughout the rest of IPL matches.
After winning the toss,
Rajasthan Royals (RR) elected to bowl first. Virat Kohli and Dilshan opened the
batting for Royal Challengers, where Virat Kohli after scoring 16 got caught in
deep mid wicket, but Dilshan got 76 off just 58 balls and stayed till the end
of the innings. At one time, The Royal Challengers were in deep trouble after losing
Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal after adding 4 and 15 runs on board. When Gayle
got out, the score on board was just 67/3 in 12 over. Later it was Tillakaratne
Dilshan and AB De Villiers partnership that added 122 runs in just 50 balls and
took the total to a big one for RCB as they set a target of 190 runs. AB De
Villiers played his Vil-Scoop shots leaving Rajasthan Royals in trouble. After
Dilshan laid the batting platform till the end, AB on other hand flourished his
magic yet again and kept hitting boundaries after boundaries and ended up
making second fastest half century in IPL scoring a firing 59 runs in just 23
balls with 5 huge sixers and 3 fours.
The Rajasthan Royals began
their chase with almost 10 runs per over. Rahul Dravid played his part well,
but on the other end, he saw his partners wicket falling one after the other.
After a steady opening stand, as very soon it became 91-4 when Dravid got out.
There was not much hopes left for Rajasthan Royals as the young K P Appanna got
the four batsman one after the other, ending with figures of 4-19. It was good
to see a young bowler rising as a hero for RCB. The fielding of the Royal Challengers
Bangalore was of high standard as the bowlers did an excellent job. Rajasthan
