fires that on the stumps and he spoons it towards mid-off and RCB celebrate a 16-run win in front of their home fans well past midnight
RCB vs Daredevils, 38th match at Bengaluru, IPL, May 13 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Presentation:
Pietersen: "I can tell you something for free. That man over there batted like an absolute superstar. He has proven a lot of people wrong. We have to build for next season, there's an unrealistic chance of making the playoff. Yuvraj was just unbelievable. I'm always smiling."
Kohli: "Feels amazing, really wanted that win. In the field we made a few lapses but overall a good performance. It's important not to panic and this time I told Chahal to back himself and I backed my bowlers too. It's been very pleasing to see Yuvi bat like that, all those who doubted him should put those doubts to rest. We have to take it one game at a time and the results will follow."
Yuvraj is the Man of the Match: "It was important we finished really well. I've started really well and just kept believing in myself and the seniors believed in me. I wanted to come to a place where I can be myself and play my game and thanks to Vijay Mallya for bringing me over here."
That's it for now. It's been a really long night, an extended night. Thanks for staying up. The action continues tomorrow. Till then, this is Kanishkaa signing off. Good night!

srinivas hoysal: "Its certainly not a good position for jadhav to bat at no.6 delhi as they have lost hopes to reach the playoffs should give chance to these kind of players to get some experience in the upper order"

that was very cleverly played! He knew third man was up, he moved right across his stumps, cleared the right leg and was looking to hoick it over the leg side, adjusted late and deftly guided it to third man instead, turned the bat perfectly
they're going to throw their bats at everything, this was short and Jadhav pulled and the outside edge comfortably cleared the keeper
a bit too quick for him, he made room to swing but missed
length ball and he makes room to swing but misses
the middle stump's knocked back! It was a length ball bowled straight at the stumps, came back in slightly, Duminy swung across the line at thin air and his stump was pushed back
nearly carried all the way! He used the pace on the ball, made room and sliced it over backward point and the ball was going quickly, dipped just before reaching the rope
bowls length outside off and he drives it down to AB at long-off
he works it down to deep midwicket
Dropped by Gayle at point! Duminy looked to slice this over the off side and the big man leaps and gets a hand to it, tries to take it in the second attempt with the other and it still pops out, tries for the third time, he nearly does the split as he falls to the ground
