Gayle Storm blows super Kings away
Gayel's Storm hits super kings as they were beaten by the Royal Challengers bangalore here on sunday as Dhoni's effort goes in vain.And super kings lost their top spot in the points table.
Earlier, Daniel vettori asked the super kings to bat first on a slow track.Super Kings didnt started well as both the openers fell soon.And now it is up to badri and Raina to steady the innings.But,both disappointing due too some poor shot selection in the crucial time.Saha and Dhoni started to rotate the strike to get the score board ticking.In the course of raising the run-rate saha got out after a good stand with mahi.And Dhoni started to cut loose with some massive blows in the last over help the super kings to post a below PAR score of 127 runs which proved too easy for gayle's intelligence.
Defending a low total always need quick wickets,As Aswin didn't let his captain down as removed AB de villiers in the second ball of the innings.Gayle realize the situation and played sensibly along with Kholi to put up a good 50 odd run partnership which sets the game for RCB.Now,Dhoni gave the ball to raina which didn't payed-off well as Gayle's storm started to blow the super kings away.And the brutal lefthander played through innings finsished off with 75*[50] with 4 Fours and 6 massive hits and help RCB to finish top of the table.
All one can say is, it was a one off-day for the defending Champions, hope they'll bounce back in the Play-off's, which they've done well in the previous seasons.
