It was in 2016.
That year was different but the same. RCB was bulldozing every team which came it's way. Whereas SRH thier counterpart was scoring 140/150 but their bowling line up with b Kumar and mushtafizur were winning them games.RCB with the batting heavy team vs SRH bowling heavy was fitting finale.
SRH scored in that match 208 in the final with ben cutting hitting 39 (15 ) (which made the difference in the end I feel) on most days it was a huge total but wait they scored that in Chinnaswamy stadium against RCB with Kohli chasing he must be licking his lips and winning IPL for the first time that too in front of your home crowd, you cant ask for a better moment.
RCB needed 209 with gayle and Kohli opening. Virat Kohli is coming in that game with 900 runs in the season with 3 IPL hundreds. They scored a blazing 114/0 in 10 overs . On most days it was game set match but wait gayle mistimes and get caught for brilliant 76. Now comes AB de Villers (he is coming from heartbreak from 2015 world cup) he joins Kohli with whom he shares a great bond and TWO DOUBLE HUNDRED partnership.
As an RCB fan I am thinking Kohli master chaser will make a match winning 100 , complete a record breaking 1000 runs in a season, and game end. But kohli falls for 54 when score reads 140/2 in 12.5 overs.
So RCB needs 69 runs in 7 overs but then they lose cluster of wickets and end the game exactly for 200/7 in 20 overs just runs short leaving every RCB fan with tears and heartbreak. if they had won it and not won any cup for the next 10 years nobody world have been this frustrated but to insult to injury 2017 they got all out for 47 chasing low score of 131 against KKR.
A batting line in T20 with a top 5 consisting of Gayle , Kohli , Ab De villers , Watson, and KL rahul you can't ask for more.
But alas.
