Excellent game. It was more of a mind game. Dhoni was on top of it right from the beginning
whereas somehow Virat Kohli always felt under pressure. That 17 yr old kid Sarfaraz fumbled a little
once which gave away one run, Virat Kohli was quite expressive. This is certainly not the way to make any youngster comfortable within a team. Plus what could be said about the way Virat Kohli gave away his own wicket. He played the ball, from the stump vision it could be seen that ball is flying up and for which Bravo is stretching his hand for it and still Mr. Captain trying to march ahead instead returning to the base. Fantastic throw by Bravo to get Virat out. Once again Virat Kohli disappointed the team, when he was looking very strong and much capable to take RCB to the victory. It was a good knock by Virat Kohli today, but all these small mistakes under pressure counts a lot to cause a break.
Although CSK lost 9 wickets today, I enjoyed watching CSK batting, because despite of losing wickets at frequent intervals CSK did not stop trying to push itself up for the higher and higher target.
Actually speaking 148 was certainly not a big chase for RCB had they showed composed and calm performance.
I must admit Patel was the victim of Dhoni's appeal, while he was called OUT quite unfairly.
On three occasions the match went out of RCB's hands to CSK's. First when AB got out. Second when Virat Kohli got out. Third when H Patel was given out.
For me the most memorable moment was when AB Devilliers got out. One should have noticed the field placement by Dhoni to catch AB. M S Dhoni had set 6 players to the off-side inside the circle.
This was more like Hunting, and coincidentally the logo of CSK is also that of a Lion. But AB also a genius of his own class, he tried to find a gap on the offside only. Probably it was tempting for him to place the ball above fielders' head and outside the circle otherwise he could have
also played the same shot safe by grounding the ball after coming off from the bat, rather than shooting straight in the air. Well! AB is always precious!!! :))
Excellent captaincy by M S Dhoni once again. Leadership makes a huge huge difference and like to witness it especially when it does...
