We have to take a trip 6 years back for this match, played at Heavy Engineering Corporation International Cricket Stadium Complex, Ranchi. The Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bat first on this occasion.
Varun Aaron took advantage of the new ball and dismissed both Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum during the powerplay overs. Suresh Raina (62 off 48), who is CSK’s all-time top scorer, played exceptionally well, but Chennai Super Kings were always going to be a few runs short.
Chasing 139 on a track where the ball wasn’t coming onto the bat, RCB required 64 runs off the last 35 deliveries when AB De Villiers walked in after Kohli’s dismissal. “Probably one of the most difficult pitches I have ever played on,” said De Villiers after he was named the Man of the Match for his 14-ball 28 that included 3 sixes and a four.
