KKR’s victory against the mighty Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bangalore was surely one of the games of the tournament. The match witnessed a tremendous reversal of fortunes and it was ultimately the swashbuckling KKR duo of Pathan and Russell who paved the way for a memorable KKR victory.

Chasing a daunting target of 185, KKR looked down and out when they lost their 4 wickets for just 69 runs. The run-rate was climbing and RCB looked favourites to win that tie.

Cometh the hour! Cometh the champions! The partnership between Yusuf Pathan and Andre Russell brought KKR back into the game as the duo stitched together a 96-run partnership in just 44 balls. Pathan struck 60 off just 29 balls and he also remained unbeaten to take his side home in 19.1 overs and Andre Russell won the Man of the Match for his stupendous efforts with both bat and ball.

Surely, that was one great partnership and one of the best moments from the IPL season.
