KKR, yet again were upto a flier right at the start of their innings with good knocks from Ganguly(33) and Gayle(34), but once both were back in the dugout, their team went into a self destruction mode and kept on losing wickets regularly. Only McCullum stood firm with a useful knock of 45 that saw them posting this decent total of 160.
Decent it was, but against a strong batting line up like the RCBs, it was never going to be enough. Dravid making amends to his last outing at one drop, this time played an excellent knock of 52 off 35 balls. Then came in Uthappa and within a space of 22 balls, he destroyed whatever hope KKR had till that point of time. He scored 52 not out in those balls with 5 sixes and 3 fours, which must have made the selectors think if they missed a trick by not picking a lad who is going through the form of his life.
RCB though, with this win took the second place in the table yet again.
