#4 De Villiers keeps his cool

De Villiers showcased again why he is rated so highly in world cricket. Coming in to bat in a difficult situation, the South African pushed the singles around in the beginning.
Knowing that the middle order of RCB is highly inexperienced, De Villiers showed great responsibility by curbing his instincts to play the big shots.
It was only in the 17th over, he opened his arms. Mujeeb Ur Rahman, who had an excellent game till then, was smashed for two back-to-back sixes to ease the nerves in RCB’s dugout.
Although he was dismissed in the penultimate over, his knock of 57 had virtually sealed the game by then.
