5 memorable moments from RCB vs KXIP that don't fade away
It seems like a new force has taken birth in the IPL. The force was always there, but it wasn’t as unstoppable as it is now. The potential was always there, and it is now being realized.
With a team that consists of stars like Shane Watson, Virat Kohli, AB de Villers and Chris Gayle, this is a team that should have won the IPL at least once already, but for some unknown reasons, they have failed in their bid.
And this year could be this year as they now look like the brute force of nature that can’t be stopped by anyone or anything. Whatever that has come in their path in recent games has been brushed aside as Kings XI Punjab became their latest prey.
In this 15-over an innings match, there were plenty of memorable moments that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes. Here are 5 of the best:
Gayle-storm
Yes, Chris Gayle is officially back. After enduring a horrid start to the tournament, he is back with a bang—and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
With a terrific net-run-rate, RCB are sure to reach the play-offs with a win in their next game. With the form their batsmen are in, they could go on to win the tournament with relative ease. Before, it was only the trio of Virat Kohli, AB De Villiers and Shane Watson weaving magic—now the Calypso King has also joined the party.
As a rain-inflicted environment forced the game to be cut down to 15 overs per side, a target of 180 was said to be a competitive one on a belter of a track. And Chris Gayle made sure they not only reached that, but surpassed it as he blasted his way to a 32-ball 73, hitting an astonishing 8 sixes and 4 fours to reach there.
