A B de Villiers hit four sixes and 19 fours in his total of 133 and it was a one-man show with Kohli playing second fiddle as reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 10 May 2015.
The stand of 215 in 102 balls is, now, an all-time IPL record partnership. It has overtaken the earlier best of 206 between Adam Gilchrist and Shaun Marsh and they had put it up against RCB while they played for Kings XI Punjab in 2011 at Dharamsala.
The Mumbai Indians did stage a fight of sorts but fell short by 39 runs and, with this win, RCB move up to the 4th spot in the points table. RCB still has three games in hand and appear to be well-poised to enter the play-offs. It was a disappointment for the Mumbai crowd at the Wankhede Stadium and, if Harbhajan Singh had not dropped de Villiers when he was on 6, things might have been different but then, T20 does not believe in ifs and buts, its all about here and now.
