It was a rare off day for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli but his partner in crime, AB de Villiers reserved his best for last and delivered a match-winning knock of 79 no, when it mattered the most. Gujarat Lions (GL) had reduced their opponents to 29 for five but then De Villiers with the assistance of Stuart Binny and Iqbal Abdullah got his team over the line.
Twitterati were stunned by this extra-ordinary win and hailed the man from South Africa. Here are the best tweets:-
