5 memorable moments from the Royal Challengers Bangalore-Rising Pune Supergiants match that don't fade away
The IPL is starting to heat up as this was the third game in a row where 39 or more overs were played in the continuum of two innings. As Ajinkya Rahane led his team to a fine total of 191, MS Dhoni has only his bowlers to blame for not being able to defend that.
Yes, the pitch was a belter of a track and a paradise for batsmen, but the decision to give Ravi Ashwin only one over remains a baffling one.
But the man of the hour—and of the tournament—is Virat Kohli. An epic innings that saw him score his second ton of the tournament gave Bangalore an easy win in the end as they now see a very small ray of hope to qualify for the play-offs.
In this thrilling encounter, there were plenty of moments that don't fade away, just like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes. Let's take a look at the top 5:
Rahane is a great T20 player
Another game and another great performance from Ajinkya Rahane. If this tournament doesn’t put the myth about him being unfit to play T20 to bed, then nothing ever will. Not that he should care, though, as his bat is doing all the talking.
He has been the best batsmen for Rising Pune Supergiants in this tournament and he scored his 6th 50 of the tournament with a brilliant knock against the Bangalore franchise.
In the end, a Shane Watson special was needed to remove him, but it wasn’t before he scored a fiery 48-ball 74 to help Dhoni’s men to a competitive total of 191.
