It was De Villiers fabulous innings scoring an unbeaten 133 runs at a paltry strike rate of 225.42. That Virat Kohli (82* off 50 balls) was just support cast, displays the dominance of AB.

Scoring just seven runs behind the wicket, Hussey followed orthodox cricket strokes, scoring at will, taking apart even his compatriot Brett Lee. KXIP did all they could to chase down the total but despite the best efforts of James Hopes and Kumar Sangakarra, they lost by 33 runs.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man! Fastest century (30 balls), highest individual T20 score (175*) and most number of individual sixes (17), Chris Gayle did it all. In a mind-numbing assault on the Pune Warriors bowlers, Gayle launched RCB to the highest ever IPL total of 263/5.
