IPL History: Five enthralling encounters between RCB and SRH

#3 2015: A rain-curtailed thriller

Virat Kohli exults after finishing the match with a six

2015 saw a peculiar opponent for RCB, as rain played spoilsport in many of their games. The game against Sunrisers was one such encounter as rain curtailed it to an 11-over game. SRH batted first to post an impressive total of 135 in 11 overs.

The New South Wales duo of David Warner and Moises Henriques stepped up on the day scoring fifties for SRH. The intervention of more rain further reduced the equation to 81 off six overs. Gayle and Kohli attacked Dale Steyn and Bhuvi as the score raced to 41 in two overs.

Henriques removed Gayle and de Villiers off consecutive balls to tilt the scales in the favor of SRH. Kohli took the game to the last over by playing risk-free shots. With only two runs from first two balls, Kohli scored two consecutive boundaries to bring the equation to four off two.

He hit the penultimate ball straight into the hands of Warner and when he was about to celebrate he stepped onto the boundary to concede the match to RCB.
