And finally the league round of this edition’s IPl has come to an end. Mumbai Indians become the toppers in the point table with 20 points while Royal challangers Bangalore finished in the last spot with 3 wins from 14 matches.
In the last game against Delhi Daredevils, Bangalore Royal Challengers gun batsmen gayle and Virat Kohli showed a glimpse of their earlier form and lifted their team to a challenging total of 161.
Kohli scored an important half century and stole the show with good looking shots that pleased the eyes while Chris Gayle in his 48 runs knock, once again proved his mighty power by hitting 3 huge sixes. RCB’s star all-rounder Shane Watson done an appreciable bowling performance, just conceeding 16 runs in four over and took an important wicket of Karun Nair
For any captain, it’s more important to end the match with a win and RCB accomplished the task quite successfully as they stopped Delhi Daredevils from acing the chase that handed Virat Kohli-side a 10-run win. Rishabh Pant’s 45 and Shreyas Iyer’s 32 was the appreciable innings. RCB new bowler Harshal Patel impressed everyone with his three wicket

He is still showing glimpses, is @ShaneRWatson33, of why he has been one of the most valuable all-rounders in the #IPL. 1-16 from 4 overs

RCB's 3rd win. 2 of those vs DD.
Pawan Negi bowled the final over on both occasions.#DDvRCB

The 3 best all-rounders in the IPL have probably been @ShaneRWatson33, @jacqueskallis75 and @DJBravo47. Who comes closest?Russell? Indian?
