Four masterstrokes from KKRvsRCB game

#2 Gambling an over with Nitish Rana

Both Kohli and De Villiers fell in consecutive deliveries to Rana

It was in the 15th over of the innings, De Villiers and Kohli were set and Karthik looked clueless. Out of nowhere, he decided to gamble with Nitish Rana, the part-timer, for an over.

The first ball of the over was a half-tracker that was deposited in the stands by De Villiers. The second one was similar but the South African batsman top-edged it and the ball went into Mitchell Johnson’s hand. On the very next ball, Rana cleaned up the RCB captain.

Although it was a gamble played by Karthik it eventually became a masterstroke as Rana dismissed both the dangerous batsman in the same over. The two consecutive dismissals certainly pulled back RCB’s total.
