De Villiers slams 43-ball century as RCB destroy Gujarat bowlers

May 14, 2016 17:25

RCB 203-1 (18 ovs) vs Gujarat | Scorecard

Jadeja restores sanity to the proceedings as he bowls two dot balls in a row to AB before he finally gets a bye from the third ball and Kohli gets him back on strike with a single.

And AB is back to his punishing best as he pummels the last two balls of the over for back to back sixes.

Now Bravo, who is regarded as death overs specialist, comes under heavy attack. Kohli plays a superb drive through the covers and then lofts the next ball through the same region for a six.

Bravo bowls a high full toss which AB hits on the leg side for a four and to Gujarat's horror the umpire calls it a no-ball for a high full toss. De Villiers makes most of the free hit as he blasts it over the off-side for a six and then lofts the next over the leg side for back to back sixes.

Bravo has gone for 30 runs in his third over as RCB race past the 200-run mark, in the 18th over.
