RCB were off to a poor start as they lost Brendon McCullum in the first over. D’Arcy Short soon took the wicket of Quinton De Kock as well. Now it was all up to the two best batsmen of the world. Virat Kohli and AB Devilliers were batting at that moment.

Everyone out there knew that if both of them or even one of them played till the end, RCB was easily winning the match. And the way Virat Kohli was batting, the match seemed to be in RCB’s pocket.

But then Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Shreyas Gopal and the rest, as they say, is history. Shreyas took the wicket of a dangerous Virat Kohli and then dismissed AB Devilliers in the last over of his spell. The backbone of RCB was back in the pavilion and the team from there kept losing wickets at regular intervals and lost the match by 19 runs.
