Not many know him here, but who cares. His 158 run knock made sure that everyone would remember him for some time to come. He sent the ball flying at every place in the park and had a strike rate of more than 200.00. He took it all upon his shoulders and made sure that the Kolkota Night Riders posted a huge total for the Bangalore Royal Challengers to follow. So what if the other Knight Riders didn't really help in posting a total. Shah Rukh Khan, the team owner did little to contain his excitement and cheered every ball that kissed the boundary ropes.
The Royal Challengers came to bat and they could do very little in the name of putting up a good fight. Ishant Sharma showed the Bangalore team, who's the boss as he sent Rahul Dravid back to the pavilion in the very first over. 5 overs later, there was little doubt left in anybody's cranium as to who would win the match.
The Kolkotta bowlers showed some amazing consistency with their bowling and picking up wickets at regular intervals. Just what is needed to seal a struggling teams fate. The Royal Challengers need to focus on their cricket. Vijay Mallya seems to have served up a load of distractions by way of the Washington RedSkins.
Here's hoping that the forthcoming games are not so lopsided.
