SRH vs RCB, 9th match at Bengaluru, IPL, Apr 09 2013 - Match Result

Siva: "i am really feeling pity for you Devashish.. M Henriques went for 18 an over and in batting picking up negative points with strike rate :(" -- How does the point system work? I checked it, but it hasn't updated.. Anyway, time to move over to the next match. This is Devashish Fuloria signing off from here, i will be with you on the chatterbox for the next game. Let's go guys.. This party is over

Presentation

Virat Kohli is the Man of the Match (?? ): "The guys can be really proud of the way we played today. After the last game, I told the guys not to lose their head, it was a good game. There was a calm energy in the dressing room after this. Last year was tough for me in the IPL, but this year, I am not putting any expectation on myself. 160 odd was a good effort by our bowlers and it was a par score and I am glad that we chased it down. We would just concentrate on our game. "

Sangakkara: "Virat was the difference between the two sides. We were maybe a bit too slow in the first 10 overs, but then other batsmen caught up with the rate. White and Perera paced their innings really well and got us to a strong position. It hurts to lose, but we need to regroup quickly."

Mayank Agarwal gets the innovative thinker award.. (weird)

Oh how quickly has this game finished and I thought 45 off 30 could have been tricky and they finished with still 14 balls left. What an innings by Kohli there, he really lit it up with some exciting hitting! He has the orange cap. He says it's a "sweet feeling" to get his hands on that high-vis hat. While most had their eyes on Gayle, AB, Steyn, Kohli pulls the spotlight on to himself. Stick around as we will have quotes from the presentation. I wonder who is going to be the Man of the Match.. Such a tight call this.. Where is ACP now? Looks like everyone has left already for the next game..

Kalyan: "A tight call to choose MoM??? You guys will beat CID team in some time" --- That is the idea Kalyan..

Tuhinanshu: "That was on the cards.Sunrisers bowling too dependent on Styen and Mishra was offbeat today.....Though that was some incredible batting by Kohli..RCB won"

Sarath: "@Tuhinanshu, I may not agree with you! I give credit to Kohli for his ruthless batting which demoralized opponents and de-credit to Sanga for not-so-great bowling changes. Vihari opening the game, mis-use of Steyn etc.,"

cruel_stats: "From the 10th over, the first or the second ball of each over had been hit for boundaries barring the 2 overs bowled by Steyn in between. And all those boundaries hav come off Kohli's bat!"

Dev: "I saw this coming. If you see all the previous IPL stats for Hyderabad, if the bowling unit performs, then batting fails and vice-versa."

sumit: "I am the most stupid guy :( I replaced kohli with Agarwal this morning."

Manank: "@Devashish Is this the time to get my comment published?" -- Yeah, perfect time as no one is watching :)

sreevathsav: "not as yet @manank i am still here to read post match presentation talk"

hamaad: "This is what u call 'not taking the game to the last over'"

the crowd wants a six now..

yasir: "this kohli madness reminds me of THAT madness of his back in 2011 vs srilanka in australia"

Perera comes back. He has two overs left..

Big big over that one..

Stiaan: "Thanks Mishra, for loosing us the game with that over..."

Waman: "Has anyone noted the tail of the RCB lineup? Get Kohli and Sunrisers win!"

yogi: "9 rpo of the last 5 overs should be easy with 2 overs of the 5th bowler remaining but RCB simply cannot lose another wicket for the next 3 overs atleast."

Nusharif: "I can be compared to Dravid, Misbah, Pujara etc for my temperament... I have been waiting for three years to get one of my comments posted in Cricinfo..!!" -- What are you doing at an IPL match..
