The match happened for 10 overs each side due to rain. In this format there was not much scope for the strategy of 20 years rather, the format calls for the best performance one could put into at the cost of least possible mistakes.
KKR put a decent total of 111 in 10 overs putting challenge on RCB. RCB took off quite well and comfortable. But then things were not in RCB's favor entirely. While Virat looked quite comfortable,
Gayle after giving good start could not hold on for long against left arm spinner Brad Hogg. Kind off fell into trap after hitting two massive sixes in Hogg's first over. AB Devilliers was bit unfortunate to get bowled out by the shot he played on the back foot, ball hit his ankle and went back to hit the stumps. while things were looking comfortable and on the edge, from where Match could have gone either teams way at the end of 7th over, the equation was RCB needed 32 out of 18 balls. Then Virat Kohli made a mistake of getting out while trying to hit a ball six at long on. There was no need for Virat Kohli to get out like that actually. He had to steer the team to the victory.
Then KKR did it's last mistake. Gautam Gambhir selected his most expensive bowler Umesh Yadav to bowl 9th over when equation was favoring KKR and batsman at the pitch were not looking quite confident. The match turned there. For KKR Andrew Russel did put excellent all round performance,
however at the end, the best team won.
