Gujarat Lions vs Bangalore Live Commentary, 19th T20, Indian Premier League 2016, April 24, 2016

RCB 180/2 (20)
Gujarat won by 6 wickets
GL 182/4 (19.3)
Match over
Royal Challengers Bangalore Inning Gujarat Lions Inning
6.0 :

Virat Kohli is once again the highest scorer in the tournament. Why don't they exchange the helmet for an orange one since they are batting? But wait, the RCB helmets are already a shade of orange.

Did Virat Kohli pull a muscle while finishing his first run from the last ball of the 12th over? He seems to be struggling a bit. Not good for RCB, whose run rate has fallen to 7 with just 8 overs left.

True though this may be, but RCB need some big runs in the last six overs.

115 after 15 overs. How many can RCB get from here? Kohli doesn't seem to be in a major hurry yet.

Lokesh needs to keep playing the 'uncharacteristic knock'. Especially since Kohli isn't scoring too fast. RCB need at least 25 off the last 2.
0.1 :

Shane Watson is opening the batting today. His partner is Virat Kohli. Nice outswing from the first ball for the discarded Praveen Kumar

 

4.2 :

Spin is introduced into the attack and Kohli immediately goes after Pravin Tambe. Cover driven past a diving cover for four. He does it again next ball, as if he was nudging it to sweeper cover for one. Kohli is in fascinating form.

Our Nani wants an opinion.

SIX. KL Rahul decides enough is enough, and lofts Jakati down the ground for six. Much more of this is needed. 
9.3 :
1.4 :

OUT. The Shane Watson experiment at the top of the order fails as he mistimes a big shot down the ground. 

OUT. Pravin Tambe prevents the prospect of a carnage by getting AB de Villiers out. There won't be a Kohli-AB Chapter 3 today.
2.6 :

Virat Kohli begins the slaughter with two consecutive boundaries. Can AB and VK produce another magical day? They've already done so twice in the series.

Consecutive sixes by KL Rahul turn a poor over into a good one for RCB. The run rate is finally 8 an over, but they need to aim to make it closer to nine at the end.

We apologise for the power outage.

Virat Kohli finished the innings with two consecutive boundaries, also bringing up his first century in IPL on Sachin Tendulkar's birthday. 100 off 63 balls, and RCB reach 182/2 in their 20 overs. However, one has a feeling they could have got a bit more had they been a little quicker in the middle overs. Nevertheless, 182 is a big target to chase.

Join us back for the coverage of Gujarat run chase in 10 minutes time
End of over: RCB 180/2 (Kohli 100, Rahul 51)
4.0 :

Funnily enough, RCB have managed to keep Brendon McCullum fairly quiet. It is Dwayne Smith who is firing on all cylinders. Shane Watson is now into the attack.

Gujarat Lions are 19 runs ahead of Royal Challengers Bangalore at this stage. The way this game is panning out is similar to Mumbai's game yesterday. The team chasing is ahead in the game at 10 overs. Will Lions be able to keep their cool and pull it off?

At the startegic timeout, Lions need 60 from 42 balls. Thus RCB need these 135 seconds more than their opposition. Their bowling has been flat as usual, with fast bowlers going for plenty. Also, perhaps the fact that they scored about 15 runs less is going to hurt in the end.
0.1 :

Change of pace gets Dwayne Smith out, he fails to read the slower ball and is caught at long on.

FREE HIT. Watson makes it worse by bowling a no ball from the first ball of over 20. A single also results. GL need 5 in 6 balls. FREE HIT coming up.

A single off the free hit delays the inevitable. Watson doesn't look too convinced about himself.
2.2 :

Dwayne Smith has opened his shoulders early on, hitting a six off a no ball and then another six. Will Virat Kohli again end up on the losing side despite making a big score?

BB McCullum has gone just at the right time for RCB. They need to make a comeback now, throttle the incoming Gujarat batsmen for a while and up the required rate. With Raina out of form, this is possible.

Five dot balls to Dinesh Karthik. RCB need to keep this up for the next few overs.

KL Rahul, the other guy who scored a few runs today, dives to take a great catch and dismiss Ravindra Jadeja. Can RCB effect a miracle here?
7.3 :

The Sachinesque knock seems set to end in defeat.

Stuart Binny hasn't got a bowl. Abdullah is bowling full and conceding runs in a critical over.

For some reason people are targeting Dinesh Karthik:

FOUR. Dwayne Bravo's mistimed straight hit still finds the fence. Virat Kohli is heartbroken. He makes a century on Sachin Tendulkar's birthday, and RCB lose the game. Interestingly, the only time Sachin himself made an IPL century, Mumbai Indians ended up losing. On that occasion, Mumbai had scored 182/2 in 20 overs and Sachin made 100 from 66 balls. Today, RCB scored 180/2 and Kohli made 100 from 63 balls. Striking similarities.

The bottomline though is that RCB's bowling has lost them another match. It is now no secret that the team lacks an accomplished bowler and is heavily dependent on three batsmen - Kohli, AB and Gayle. And Gayle's not playing right now.
1.4 :

Brendon McCullum wildly pulls the ball to fine leg for four. His opening partner is Dwayne Smith today.

Suresh Raina is gone. Can RCB bowl a couple of good overs here? Lions need 41 from 26. If they can get it down to 25 off 12 or thereabouts we might have a game on our hands.

Richardson has dropped a simple return chance from Dinesh Karthik. Bangalore have not been able to control the Lions' batsmen after Raina's wicket. Jadeja hit a six as soon as he arrived. 24 needed off 14.
5.5 :

SIX. FOUR. SIX. If you bowl length to Brendon McCullum on an easy paced pitch, prepare to get slaughtered. This over has changed the equation of the match almost completely. 16 runs in 3 balls.

Gujarat Lions are well in control of the chase. Meanwhile, you can watch this:
