5 memorable moments from DD vs RCB that don’t fade away
As the term ‘dead rubber’ goes, this game was the perfect exemplification of it since both teams had nothing to play for in this game. Both Delhi and Bangalore are already out of the Indian Premier League and this match was all about salvaging some pride.
After deciding to bat first, Chris Gayle led the innings with unnatural quietness. His will to score runs without regarding the rate was highly apparent and it worked for him as RCB started the game well and ended with a score of 161, thanks to some good batting from Virat Kohli as well.
In response, the Daredevils starts well, despite Samson falling for a duck, but in the end fell short by 10 runs. Here are 5 memorable moments from the match that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes:
#1 Gayle-storm
In the final game of the group stage of the 2017 IPL, Chris Gayle found the form which eluded for most of the competition. Despite the fact that he wasn’t at his blazing best, scoring at a rate slower than usual, it was good to see the T20 King finally finding his groove.
With the help of three boundaries and a six, the Calypso King scored 48 runs from 38 balls and gave his team the start they wished for. A little too late to get his touch back, but it is always a good sight to see Gayle make runs.
