IPL8 – Battle of the Royals – Virat Kohli clobbers Rajasthan bowlers at Motera

#IPL8 #RCBvsRR #ViratKohli #ABDevilliers #Motera #Ahmedabad It was a battle of the Royals and Virat Kohli’s day at Motera in Ahmedabad as he clobbered the bowlers of Rajasthan Royals to all corners of the stadium to help Royal Challengers Bangalore register its second win.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 24 April 2015.

Kohli hit his second successive fifty and pacer Mitchell Starc picked up three wickets as Royal Challengers Bangalore beat the opponents by nine-wickets in their IPL8 encounter at Ahmedabad.
First, RCB gave a disciplined bowling performance to restrict Rajasthan to 130 for nine and, in the chase, they easily overhauled the target with 23 balls to spare. It was an unbeaten 98-run partnership between Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers (47) for the second wicket that resulted in handing over a second successive loss to Rajasthan Royals.
The loss of Rajasthan Royals is difficult to comprehend because they had been going great guns but, suddenly, the have begun to stumble. They have young talented players and, with Rahul Dravid as mentor, was giving chances to local boys – the strategy was working fine but it needs to be modified.
