IPL Mania

Royal Challengers v Knight Riders


RCB lose after having ball's in their court

T20 is all about change the complexion of a game in a flash. This definition truly symmetrical with what happened last night when Chris Lynn took a blinder jaw-dropping acrobatic catch to dismissed ABD and transformed the game single handedly in favor of KKR. 

Batting first KKR didn't manage to get a flyer losing two wickets in quick succession. Kallis and Lynn have man oeuvre the innings and building base for their team. They put 80 for the third wicket. After Lynn's dismissal KKR was in the back foot and lost the pace and derail the momentum eventually posted inadequate target which seemed not very compatible against RCB fabulous batting line up.  Varun Aaron showed he had control as well as pace, and legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal turned in his third impressive performance in a row to keep the Knight Riders in check. Bowlers did good job fettered KKR below 155 runs. 

Royal Challenge braced their innings in tremendous fashion, both Parthiv Patel and Yogesh Takawala provided a strong start and Virat Kohli was at his usual best to monitor and guide the chase perhaps played an anchoring role. Narine was vigilant played out until Kohli was bamboozled off the penultimate ball of his spell to give Knight Riders a faint chance. Yuvraj couldn't capitalize the pace towards the end and left his team to face the music, reviving memories of his painful T20I world cup final innings and giving KKR more of a command on a game, before Vinay and Lynn yanked it out of Royal Challenger's hands.
