IPL 2016: 5 memorable moments from Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore that don't fade away
Ever since Virat Kohli’s admittance of love for pressure, he has lived up to the claims he made. It’s been two games since that and the Royal Challengers Bangalore have won both in quite a fantastic manner.
What makes Royal Challengers’ march so special is the fact that they are not relying on anyone but themselves to get to the play-offs. It is simple: they have to win all their remaining games, for if they do that, they will find themselves playing in the play-offs.
As if it wasn’t a problem for the bowlers already that both AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli are in hot form, Chris Gayle has also joined the party as we could see more than just glimpses of his best game.
The match had plenty of memorable moments that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes. Here are 5 of the best:
#1 Gambhir and Manish Pandey’s start
After being put to bat first on batting-friendly conditions, it was imperative that the Kolkata Knight Riders got a big score on the board as we all know the strength of RCB’s batting. Unfortunately for the home team, they lost the wicket of the in-form Robin Uthappa early, leaving Manish Pandey and Gautam Gambhir to make up for it.
And they coped really well.
With a partnership of 76 in merely 8.1 overs, both Pandey and Gambhir gave the middle order a beautiful platform. Manish Pandey scored a wonderful 50 of 35 balls and Gautam Gambhir had 51 runs in 34 balls.
