RCB vs Kings XI, 51st match at Mohali, , May 06 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Okay that's all people. Just as we started, let's finish it Danny M style. "Khush raho. Chadhdi kala-ch raho. Dhanvaad."

Quotes from the presentation

"One of the best innings anyone has ever seen in the IPL," says Virat Kohli. "But a few good efforts in the field could have changed it for us. 190 was a par total. We should have taken the chances in the field. One of those days. You concentrate hard when you go for catches, but sometimes they don't stick. Credit to David too. It was an incredible innings."

"Very pleased," says David Hussey. "What an innings. We bowled really well. And about an innings like that, what can you say? We never lose hope. We have been fighting till the bitter end. The total was a bit over-par, but when you have batters like David Miller and Sathish at the end, anything is possible. It seems unreal when you sit down and watch it. He is a Kings XI Punjab player for life."

"It was a big total to get," says David Miller, the Man of the Match. "Sathish and I decided to get in and then explode. Sathish is experienced. He did a great job in the end. 'If it's in the V, in the tree; if it's in the arc, it's out of the park.'"

The bit about V and tree is what David Miller's father used to tell him when he was a kid

**

Okay. Back to where it began. They were 95 for 4 after 13 overs, and going nowhere. Miller, though, flicked a switch on in the 14th. Kohli did drop him when he was 41 off 22. After that, RP Singh came on to bowl, and showed why India don't think of him any more. Miller launched into every bowler after that. And they have won this with two overs to spare. Ninety-nine came off the last five

Phew. What crazy hitting. Helped by poor fielding, but Miller has left RCB shell-shocked. This chase was not going anywhere. And I mean anywhere. Hang on. Let's listen to Miller first: "It sort of came off for me tonight. I have been working very hard, and thanks to Jesus Christ for giving me the talent. I have been working hard on getting myself in and then explode from there. I got lucky with the catch, but I will take that. Just trying to see the ball and play accordingly."

Miller hasn't quite recovered form the high yet. He is a bit dazed still. We will hear more from him later

Can Miller get a hundred? Finish it off with a six, Dave

Round the wicket

It's Punjab's game to lose now. A run a ball gets them a tie. Too late in the night to introduce Gayle?

Round the wicket

Fifty-nine have come in the last three overs. Manic Manic Monday. Can Vinay pull it back for RCB?

RCB need this timeout

Fifty-three required off the last five overs. Doable. "If you hit it in the V, it goes into the tree." Remember?
