11.20pm Another special from Virat takes Royal Challengers Bangalore to second on the points table. Another quality knock, a totally different knock but one that has been even more important than some of the previous ones. Daredevils bow out of the tournament, just one win away from the playoffs so they have a lot to take away as well. RCB will play the first qualifier against Gujarat Lions at M. Chinnaswamy, their home ground. Sunrisers finish third and KKR are fourth.

Virat Kohli is the Man of the Match:"Those stats have reached me through images, because every game is a new game. We were at an impossible stage. our focus has paid off. My focus is to take the team through. You have to start afresh today, it sounds boring but that's the way it is. To have discipline, you need to be boring. You need to make every day count. When I come onto the field, this was what I was born to do. Very important not to get rude or arrogant when you are in form. All about keeping that thin line between confidence and overconfidence. People have given me a lot of love since the Australia series. (When asked about the performance of the team) Especially the bowling unit, they have been doing exceptionally well. It was a 160-par wicket. Amazing, hats off to the bowlers."

Zaheer Khan: Has been a wonderful campaign. We've been playing good cricket. With this kind of side, we have given a tough time to all sides. Happy with the way things have panned out for us. 160 would have been dependable. When someone like Virat is there, he is so good at absorbing pressure. In a way, we felt one knock, one partnership was critical here. Couldn't get going but these things happen. I haven't really thought about my future. Still enjoy being out there."

there it is. Slower delivery is pushed to mid-on for the quick single. Kohli is overjoyed, he is ecstatic. Pumped as he jumps up in celebration. Royal Challengers qualify as the second-placed team

Right then, Kohli has the chance to hit the winning runs to take RCB to playoffs

Harish: "RCB Kohli-fies for playoff."
