Should have relied on 201 runs on the scoreboard. Especially when the opponent chased after the target, losing 4 wickets in twelfth by just 6 runs. But cricket is a game of uncertainty. And in the tumultuous era of T20, there is no less precedent for hitters to turn destructive at any moment.
That is what happened in the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians on Monday. Cricket fans have enjoyed the thunderous batting of stars big and small in the fight for the Super Over. It would be a mistake to say only the fans. Starting with the commentator, past and current players have also been shocked and excited. Via social media, Joffra Archer tweeted: “How come you don’t like cricket?”
Batting first at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Bangalore scored 201 of 3 in the fifty unbeaten by Devdut Padikkal, Aaron Finch and AB de Villiers. In response, Mumbai stopped at 201 for 5 wickets. Ishan Kishan returned the fragrance of the century with a score of 99 on 56 balls. Kieron Pollard was undefeated with 60 of 24 balls. Then Virat Kohli’s Bangalore won the match in the super final.
Mumbai could only make 6 runs after losing Pollard’s wicket at Navdeep Saini’s over. Kohli and De Villiers hit the mark in the latest installment of Jaspreet Bumrah’s over.
For a long time, the party leaned towards Bangalore. Mumbai needed 60 runs in the last four overs. However, Kishan and Pollard took the storm and almost matched this difficult equation. The current IPL champions needed 19 runs last time out. They can do 16 races. After Kishan hit two sixes in a row and returned to the locker room, Pollard took four overs in the last over.
Cricketers reacted on Twitter after the match was tied and at the end of the super. “(I am) speechless,” wrote Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar, pointing to Kishan and Pollard, two key players in the gift of cricket.
Kings XI Punjab also lost the previous IPL match by scoring 223 runs. Rajasthan Royals set a record for the fastest race in tournament history. Commenting on the incredible results in two consecutive games, commentator Hersha Vogel tweeted: ‘Wow, how many (runs) is enough! How safe (run)! Ishan Kishan! Little people, great emphasis! Topped tree! (Batting) Go above order! ‘
“Come on India … don’t go anywhere else, it’s IPL … fasten your seat belts,” wrote Sourav Ganguly, director and former captain of the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI).
Washington Sundar has taken a special look at the bowlers nakanichobani match. The Indian spinner from Bangalore completed the quota of four overs and took 1 wicket for a total of 12 runs. Commentator and former New Zealand cricketer Simon Dull praised him: “He has scored 400 runs in the game and if he has taken 1 wicket for 12 runs … definitely the best in the match.”
Former Indian starter Virender Sehwag tweeted: “The best gift of 2020 is the Indian Premier League.”
