[Anchorman]

Jakati, you beauty! :')

Even Abdulla just hit for a 6!

 

[Justcrazy]

AB is in clutch now

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Kohli's reaction )

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Game still not over.

Need to regroup and Raina...."THINK" dude.

THINK.

 

[Belawal2014]

Jakati, you legend!

 

[Justcrazy]

16 from the over ..... Home team back in the game

Gujrat needs wickets here

 

[Anchorman]

Jakati is going to get a super-special hug from Kohli if RCB win this.

 

[aniket1911]

It would be funny now if Ab gets out.

 

[JaDed]

Game's over,even if ABD doesn't take it Abdulla will finish it!

 

[jusarrived]

I think you would have got your answer.

AB today and Kohli and Gayle in that previous match vs Punjab would all have been dismissed if not for the short boundaries.

you are assuming they would have played the exact same shot knowing the boundries are bigger ?

 

[Ab Fan]

If RCB loses here this will indeed be a choke.

 

[Executioner]

man why did Jakati even get more than one over?

 

[Anchorman]

AB's getting carried away...

Come on man.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Must to this knock

Just one miscue plzzzzzz

 

[Justcrazy]

Its looking end for gujrat here

 

[aman92]

Stunning, out worldly innings by ABD

 

[Anchorman]

I just saw half the RCB dug-out scream BC when AB hit that 6! Even the foreigners! ) #theKohliEffect

 

[Justcrazy]

Good yorker by PK.

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Wouldn't have mattered even if he had bowled Smith instead of Jakati.

He himself should have bowled.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Wouldn't have mattered even if he had bowled Smith instead of Jakati.

It may not have but proper bowling changes leads to pressure leads to false stroke and that changes the game completely.

1 wicket and game was over.

 

[aman92]

He himself should have bowled.

Yeah, De Villiers would have absolutely murdered him

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

ABD has taken RCB over the ropes.

 

[aniket1911]

Ab took RCB home, the match is over by all means.

Players do learn with time to control their nerves and Ab is perfect example of that. You can see, he relishes challenges now.

 

[street cricketer]

you are assuming they would have played the exact same shot knowing the boundries are bigger ?

Mishits happen regardless of boundary sizes. Only difference is that those in short grounds fly for sixes while they get caught in bigger grounds.

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Yeah, De Villiers would have absolutely murdered him

Raina is an underrated spinner

 

[Justcrazy]

4 :byes

poor stuff

pressure clearly showing now

 

[Abhilash93]

He himself should have bowled.

No way Raina would bowl the 16th over against ABD.

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Look @ the atmosphere. No wonder IPL is such a success year after year.

 

[Justcrazy]

AB showing he can win games chasing also .

 

[rhony]

What a game so far. I hope the next two games are this close as well. AB seems to be losing it here with a few crazy strokes but he's been phenomenal

 

[HitWicket]

This guy is one of the worst umpires I've seen ever...

 

[street cricketer]

Kohli fails for once and AB chases for once.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gujrat need a freaky over where they get three wickets

 

[aman92]

This guy is one of the worst umpires I've seen ever...

I am actually surprised he didn't give ABD out there. Usually caves in to excessive appeals

 

[rhony]

I am actually surprised he didn't give ABD out there. Usually caves in to excessive appeals

Kohli would have bit his head off...

 

[street cricketer]

Great match though. Lots of momentum changes.

 

[Anchorman]

ABDULLA!

AB who? ) )

 

[Abhilash93]

Abdullaaah!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Congrats ABD....that's was an insanely amazing knock.

Gujus deserved to lose.

My God...what a bad captaincy and fielding.

 

[aman92]

Haha...Abdullah taking them home here. Winning it with 2 overs to spare

 

[JaDed]

Abdullah 3 boundaries consecutive!

 

[rhony]

Nobody can beat this RCB team now.

 

[JaDed]

Kohli fails for once and AB chases for once.

Surprising maybe this year it will be RCB's championship after all! Sad day for us

 

[Abhilash93]

ABD showing he only chokes in the company of chokers

 

[JaDed]

Congrats Bengaluru posters a good win which finally didn't involve Kohli for once!

 

[aman92]

De Villiers showing he is from a different planet to everyone else. Brilliant

 

[jusarrived]

Congrats to the Best T20 team in the world

 

[rhony]

Who's that guy who almost killed AB there.

 

[JaDed]

De Villiers showing he is from a different planet to everyone else. Brilliant

) yeah he showed that last 4 matches too

 

[rhony]

ABD showing he only chokes in the company of chokers

That's a good one...

 

[JaDed]

ABD showing he only chokes in the company of chokers

He was in RCB's company for quiet long and they all choked continuously for all seasons.

 

[Hasan123]

Ab does it under pressure all the momentum with RCB for the final now surely this there year now!!!!!!!

 

[Gone]

Who's that guy who almost killed AB there.

Virat kohli

 

[street cricketer]

Surprising maybe this year it will be RCB's championship after all! Sad day for us

Kohli doesn't fail twice. They deserve to win this time purely for AB and especially Kohli heroics this IPL.

 

[street cricketer]

Virat kohli

Chahal.

 

[rhony]

Virat kohli

Nope. Just checked the replay. It's Chahal that knocked AB's helmet off

 

[rhony]

And...RCB is going to play final at their home ground. This IPL will be theirs to lose.

 

[JaDed]

Kohli doesn't fail twice. They deserve to win this time purely for AB and especially Kohli heroics this IPL.

This IPL will be remembered for Kohli irrespective of him winning next match -so i hope they lose unless they face KKR!

 

[Gone]

Nope. Just checked the replay. It's Chahal that knocked AB's helmet off

my bad </3

 

[King Kong]

cos often hes gifted his wicket in pressure situation , its frustrating supporting the team he plays for

Dhoni, in is his entire life, whether in IPL or international, has never won a match when his team is in the kind of situation ABD was today. Show me one innings of Dhoni. You can talk about ABD later.

 

[street cricketer]

This IPL will be remembered for Kohli irrespective of him winning next match -so i hope they lose unless they face KKR!

I supported Delhi all the way this year.

But for some reason, Punjab and especially Delhi always disappoint every season. But tbf to Delhi, they played well this season.

 

[street cricketer]

Dhoni, in is his entire life, whether in IPL or international, has never won a match when his team is in the kind of situation ABD was today. Show me one innings of Dhoni. You can talk about ABD later.

Lol talk about going overboard over IPL.

India vs SL, tri series final, West Indies.

 

[aman92]

Dhoni, in is his entire life, whether in IPL or international, has never won a match when his team is in the kind of situation ABD was today. Show me one innings of Dhoni. You can talk about ABD later.

Haha Dhoni doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Kohli and ABD.

 

[Justcrazy]

Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 4 wickets

 

[Dman]

Match winner Kohli gone for duck lol.

De Villiers steals the show at the most appropriate moment.

 

[Hasan123]

Lol talk about going overboard over IPL.

India vs SL, tri series final, West Indies.

AB Fan boys are cringe worthy. I like him as a player but can't understand why people need to call him the greatest batter ever when he's not. It's clear Sachin pointing viv lara are ahead

 

[Justcrazy]

RCB will be a force to beat in finals , mark my words. They can outbat any opposition !

 

[Justcrazy]

AB Fan boys are cringe worthy. I like him as a player but can't understand why people need to call him the greatest batter ever when he's not. It's clear Sachin pointing viv lara are ahead

Tough to compare different eras.

This era AB is is a class no doubt.

 

[street cricketer]

AB Fan boys are cringe worthy. I like him as a player but can't understand why people need to call him the greatest batter ever when he's not. It's clear Sachin pointing viv lara are ahead

The "Best since Viv" statements are missing though.

 

[aman92]

AB Fan boys are cringe worthy. I like him as a player but can't understand why people need to call him the greatest batter ever when he's not. It's clear Sachin pointing viv lara are ahead

In ODI's statistically he is the greatest of all time.

 

[Ab Fan]

Quality knock...Very similar to once in a blue moon typical kevin Pietersen knock.

 

[JaDed]

Haha Dhoni doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Kohli and ABD.

Yeah the other two haven't done anything in finals of any major ICC tournament but whereas the MAN has captained three ICC tournaments and scored a 91* chasing in a final!

So much for not having them in the same sentence!

 

[aman92]

Haha Kohli knows who is the greatest....true words

 

[street cricketer]

The "Best since Viv" statements are missing though.

In ODI's statistically he is the greatest of all time.

There. That's one step ahead.

 

[JaDed]

I supported Delhi all the way this year.

But for some reason, Punjab and especially Delhi always disappoint every season. But tbf to Delhi, they played well this season.

Supported DD too only if their batting clicked more,they had the future Indian players probably the reason why i was partial to them.

 

[Abhilash93]

"I think this should settle the debate about who is the best in the world. Come the big game, and the big man steps up. I just bow down to him."

~Kohli

 

[aman92]

Yeah the other two haven't done anything in finals of any major ICC tournament but whereas the MAN has captained three ICC tournaments and scored a 91* chasing in a final!

So much for not having them in the same sentence!

That 91 by Dhoni has to be one of the most overrated innings in history. India already were in a pretty good position and people forget Gambhir was the top scorer for India with 97!

Agree about him being a great captain but in terms of batting he is nowhere near the other two

 

[street cricketer]

Supported DD too only if their batting clicked more,they had the future Indian players probably the reason why i was partial to them.

I supported them for

1. Indian youngsta beauties
2. Zaheer.
3. They have never won an IPL.
4. And of course, Dravid.

 

[aman92]

Supported DD too only if their batting clicked more,they had the future Indian players probably the reason why i was partial to them.

I was happy with DD generally. Gave chances to young Indian players throughout and were one win away from play offs. Good finds in Karun Nair and Rishabh Pant who I think will be the next big Indian talent

 

[King Kong]

Lol talk about going overboard over IPL.

India vs SL, tri series final, West Indies.

India needed 40 runs when Jadeja got out. Not even close. I can give countless of matches in which he bottled out.
