De Villiers finally redeemed himself after losing 11 games he played, with a crucial inning of 57 runs from 40 balls to seal the victory for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

#1. Umesh Yadav’s lucky streak

Yadav had a game to remember

Umesh Yadav had a good match with the ball bagging three wickets, all coming in the power play in his three-over spells he bowled upfront which earned him a Man of the Match performance ahead of De Villiers.

Yadav has always enjoyed bowling against Kings XI Punjab picking more than six three-wicket hauls taking his tally to 23 wickets. The Punjab franchise think tank will be aware of this record if they haven’t already.
