MI vs RCB, 15th Match, Group B at Durban, Sep 19 2010 - Ball by Ball Commentary

The answer is no! Spare a thought for Kohli, but put ypour hands together for Rayudu who has taken another swirler under the Durban lights! Zaheer has come apart spectacularly, he delivers another full toss on Kohli's pads, Kohli was probably expecting it again, and turned his bat a moment too early, it took a top edge and looped away to the upper reaches of the stratosphere. It took an eternity to come down, but Rayudu had it covered. He throws it up in relief. Kohli is distraught. Mumbai have won a superb game of cricket here.

Viraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!! Another full toss on his toes, Kohli sees it even before Zaheer let it go, was swivelling around on his front foot even as it came and flicked it away with no fuss, down to square leg for four more

misses this one! Length ball outside off and Kohli swings across the line. And misses. No bye this time!

KOHLI!!! Zaheer tries the yorker, misses by a foot, it is a full toss on Kohli's toes, with nerves of steel and wrists of rubber he turns it away and it bullets away to deep square leg

Another slower ball! Another miss! Zak is back! Off cutter outside off, Dravid misses the pull across the line and they steal a bye.

Zaheer has his wits about him, slower ball, off cutter at 114 kph on leg stump, Kohli did not see it coming, he was early on the pull, and made no real contact

length ball to finish, Kohli drives it out to long on. Retains the strike.

The best shot of them all! This is high class bowling and even better batting! Full on off stump and Kohli goes through the covers with a scythe that was all timing! Tendulkar tumbled across to the left at cover and missed it. Through to the fence.

Kohli is turning it on! Length ball from malinga this time, on off, Kohli has picked his spot and it is deep midwicket. Plants the front foot across and despatches it dismissively

misses it by a foot this time! Kohli was waiting for it! 145 kph, full toss on middle, Kohli smacks it away across the line to the square leg boundary. Well placed too, deep backward square was running across

You won't see too many better yorkers! Especially so in the post Wasim-Waqar era! 145 kph just outside off, Kohli's desperation came through in that wild swing. No contact.

Malinga tries to out-think Kohli who is moving around his crease and goes over board. Very wide outside off and called

Malinga begins with a fast ful toss on off stump, Dravid is getting desperate here but can't time it, inside edge behind square on the leg side

well done Nechim! Short ball on off stump line, Dravid chops the cut into the ground, through to Rayudu, only one

wasted! Full toss on the pads, Kohli had to get it fine, but swung it square. Straight to deep square leg for one

slow off cutter, drops it short, well done! Foxes Dravid who swings wildly at thin air. They pick a bye, Rayudu can't collect cleanly.

Nechim is flirting with danger, bowling these length balls. Kohli can't smash this, drills it down to long on, straight to the fielder

this one is wider outside off and Kohli looks to go over the off side. Not so well timed, but he gets it out to an empty deep extra cover for a couple.

What! A! Shot! It is a half volley, coming into middle and leg, Kohli plonks the front foot across and swings it out of the ground. Immense timing, lands well into the crowd!

Where are the fielders?! Another full delivery outside off, Dravid shovels across the line and gets it high out to deep midwicket. No one to take the catch.
