The IPL 2015 was the 8th edition of the league. The tournament featured from 8 April to 24 May. The season was won by Mumbai Indians who defeated Chennai Super Kings in the final of the IPL. MI's captain Rohit Sharma was awarded the Man of the Match in the finals for scoring 50 runs in 26 balls.

The 52nd match of the IPL 2015 was played between RCB and SRH. Rain delayed the match and the 20 overs' match was now reduced to 11 overs for each team. With David Warner scoring 52 runs in 32 balls and Henriques scoring 57 runs in 22 balls, SRH posted a monstrous total of 135 runs in 11 Overs.

The drizzle started again at the end of the first innings which developed into a full-fledged rain. This ate some more overs and now RCB were given the target of 81 in 6 overs. The chase was difficult but not impossible.

With an Asking rate of 13, Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli came out to bat for the Royal Challengers. After the rain stopped, Gaylestorm started in the RJIC stadium of Hyderabad which included 35 runs in just 10 balls. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Dale Steyn were the biggest victims of this onslaught.

Moises Henriques bowled the third over beautifully and not only dismissed Chris Gayle but also got the wicket of AB De Villiers in the same over itself. It was all up to Virat Kohli now.

The RCB Captain held his cool and then went berserk in the last over while digging out two perfect yorkers for two boundaries. 4 runs were still required from the last 2 balls and it was the premature celebration from the SRH captain David Warner that won the game for RCB.

At the 2nd last ball of the match, Virat Kohli lofted a shot in the air which was easily caught by Warner who was standing one foot away from boundary ropes. But unfortunately, in the hurry of celebrating the wicket, Warner took a step behind and his boots touched the boundary ropes and it was given as a six.

RCB won the match and now it was Virat Kohli who did his trademark celebration by jumping in the air and screaming. This match was a big lesson for David Warner that over-excitement can sometimes cost you a whole match.
