The match between Bangalore royal challengers and Chennai super kings was really a great exiting match. By batting first, RCB set a mammoth target of 206 for CSK with a brilliant innings of Gayle. But Csk chased the target and reached there after a slow start with a superb innings of morkel scoring 28 from just 7 balls. This match had the record of most number of sixes in all IPL matches. The match was breath taking till the last ball. This is what really IPL is....

I think this is the second highest run chase in IPL. last ball was a pressure cooker situation and jadeja was able to find a boundary to register a unbelievable win for CSK.

All I can say is Chennai Super Kings ku periya whistle podungo!! I mean what a chase, what a chase. If you put Dhoni, Morkel and Bravo in a pressure cooker, you will find that they are still pretty cool!! I think this is the key reason why CSK has been champions for the past two seasons and that is why you can never write them off in any match. Cheers! Ram

Hello friend, You are right. It is really a great match tonight. I also see the match. I think morkel is the hero in this match. When he runed 28 by 7 balls then it is very important of this match. The runs are very important in this match. So I enjoy it very much. This is a trully IPL match. Hope so we see the enjoyable match again in future. Have a nice day.

Yes. morkal was the real hero. He turned the match nowhere to the hands of CSK. Every one expecting the matches like this in IPL. and this match showed what IPL made for. I am also expecting more such matches from IPL.

It was a great game as it is the 2nd highest chase in all the IPL's.It was a brilliant batting from Gayle and Kohli which made them to post a good score of 205 and set a target of 206.At the start chennai batted slowly and I was thinking at that time that they will not be able to chase it down.Then the 6th over came in which they got 20 runs and then on they were in the game and were on the cards to win the match.Du plesis was splendid with the bat in the top and had a good partnership with Vijay and then dhoni. It was a great move from dhoni to promote himself up the order and bat a at number 4.he scored good 40 off 24 balls but at the point when he fell they needed mammoth 43 from 2 overs and then Albie came to the crease and went against kohli and he hit 28 runs in the 19th over and they came back in the game and then in the last over bravo did the finishing job and then in the last ball 2 runs were needed to win and jadeja played the ball for 4 and then chennai won their 2nd match and the much needed one as they have won 2 games out of 4 now.

You are right. both team batted superbly. But i was really surprised when gayle give strikes to agarwal by taking singles. At the end of power play gale had only 10 runs in 10 bowls.!!! It was not what we expect from him. but after that it was a great performance by gayle. agarwal also batted well.

Amazing game really. I was supporting RCB from ball one, and they had the game in their pocket. But outstanding play from Dhoni and Albie Morkel in particular. 18 sixes was it?? King Kohli had a look of bewilderment on his face(first time).

I thought kohli will cry after that over. his face was like that. any way this will be one match that he never want to remember. RCB had the game in there hand. Once again muralidharan proved what he is and why he is one of the great bowlers in the world.

I'm totally agree with you. what a match man. We can now say without any doubt that IPL5 truly stared today. RCB got awesome start but inning ending was not as expected and what a come back from CSK. and unbelievable 4 wicket over from Bollinger.

Hi Rock, I enjoyed the match till the very end.It was very exciting.Both teams had played very well.Their batting was superb.There were few brutal attacks.Gayle and Kohli laid the platform for a mammoth score.It was not ended well by RCB.They lost their six wickets in last 8 balls.CSK started well and it was carried on by others.Albie and Jadeja are the heroes.Albie smashed Kohli for 28 runs.Poor captaincy from Vettori.Hope he would not repeat it again.This has made IPL very very exciting.

Truly a great T20 cricket match. All round entertainment for the spectators on and off the ground. What a great batting display from both sides1 first Mayank Agarval, Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli for R.C.B. and then Du Plessis, Raina, Morkel and Bravo. Morkel topped them all by plundering 28 runs of Virat Kohli over which turned the match in favor of C.S.K. but 14 runs of last 4 balls by Bravo and Jadeja were equally critical. This match will certainly help lift the sagging popularity of the I.P.L. and pull in more crowd to the grounds and to Tv sets.

Hi I was missing such match in the IPL. Finally got one. That Morkel's inning was the turning point of this match. He played an amazing little inning. Bravo did well too in the last over. I guess every player played little or more role in the CSK win. Superb match.

It was really great match and most thrilling match for a long time in IPL. Really a great show of cricket in this match from both team. All player work hard but some strategy from RCb made them wrong. I was not following the match but when i open my email i saw the the cricinfo showing item on the extension on my chrome browser. I opened and saw the news that RCB crossed 200 and made a stiff target of 206 for csk. It was gayle with his 6 sixes made the things possible with help from Virat in the middle. Don't forgot the last ball six from vinay kumar to made it 205. Since i do not followed it i opned the match after eating it was around 16 or the 17 over when Dhoni was there and he playing good i though he mnight cross the things and make victory for CSK but he failed to do show and get out but the wrong decesion from vettori who handed kholi to bowl which cost 27 runs in the 19 over made the turing and then vinary kumar didn't hold the things and in pressure he bowled no ball though he get out morel who trash Kholi to make the win possible. In last three ball good bowling thoug he did but jadeja hit last ball to six and all impossible things go in CSK. It is said that champions are back yeah? really? I am happy for the lost of RCb not the victory of CSK. Whether CSK loss or not but i don't want the RCB to win and that i got yesterday. Thanks CSK you didn't let theose ..... to win.
