Chasing 183, after Pune had set 6-182 in their quota of 20 overs thanks to a belligerent 69 off 45 balls by Robin Utthappa, RCB were fairly comfortable with Chris Gayle(81 off 48 balls) in full-flow.

But a yorker from Ashish Nehra to Chris Gayle in the 16th over brought AB de Villiers to the crease with RCB still needing in excess of 10 an over.

de Villiers struck a four and a six in the first ten balls he faced bringing the target down to 21 off the final over. Tiwary took the single off the first ball, to bring AB on strike against Nehra. AB duly scooped the next delivery past short fine-leg for a boundary, and then smacked the next two balls for sixes over long off and long leg respectively, to bring the equation to four off two balls, and Tiwary completed the proceedings with a last ball six to cap off a memorable win for RCB engineered on the genius of one man- AB de Villiers.
