The refreshing Royal Challenger Bangalore camp’s 9 am video is out again after their massive win over KKR and the spread of joy and cheer is evident across the dressing room.

The able RCB bowling unit came together and caused KKR to crumble quickly leaving their final total at 112/9 while chasing 195. De Villiers won the Man of the Match award, for a record 22nd time in the Indian Premier League history, for his unbeaten 33-ball 73, which included 6 sixes of which one maximum (85 m) flew out of the Sharjah Cricket Stadium and into the running traffic and hit two moving cars.

“A lot of smiles, believe in the process, work harder, feet on ground, Alien de Villiers... Some of the takeaways from the dressing room talk after the game against KKR.”

While Virat named his mate ‘Alien de Villiers’, Yuzvendra Chahal with exceptional bowling figures of 4-0-12-1 quipped: “Only 2 batsmen can score runs on this deck, De Villiers and me.”

Dinesh Karthik’s Kolkata Knight Riders faced a crushing 82-run defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore owing to an extraordinary display of cricket by star batsman AB de Villiers. Because of AB de Villiers’ heroics, RCB were able to post a massive total of 194/2 after an unbeaten 3rd-wicket partnership of 100 runs (off 46 deliveries) was added by RCB skipper Virat Kohli and his close companion AB de Villiers in just 46 deliveries.

RCB with 5 wins in 7 games, so far in the IPL 2020 competition, are placed 3rd on the points table after Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals.
