Royal Challengers Bangalore pulled off a stunning win yesterday against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Chinnaswamy Stadium to keep their hopes of qualifying for the Playoffs alive. After scoring a massive 218 runs, RCB nearly lost the match as SRH came a little too close to comfort but it was the first ball of the last over that changed the match for the hosts. The Bangalore team was playing their last home and it was a must-win for them.

Currently situated at the fifth spot in the points table, Royal Challengers Bangalore need to win their last match with good margin and hope that at least one of Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders loses their match. RCB have won six out of their 13 matches so far and have 12 points in the tally.

Since this is was the last home match of Royal Challengers Bangalore, it was a special occasion for the fans and the players. The anchor for this match was the former New Zealand cricketer who tends to get over-enthusiastic at times, Danny Morrisson. He welcomed everyone with his cheer of “Namaaaskaaaraaaa”.

The coin toss then took place and it was won by the visiting captain Kane Williamson who asked the home team to bat first. Morrisson then as it customary proceeded to ask the whys for the decision taken by Williamson. He then returned to Kohli and asked him how he felt about losing the toss.

After listening to the longish explanation given by Virat Kohli, Morrisson got up-close and checked the nerve of Virat Kohli. This being a must-win game, Virat did look a tad nervous tonight while all the talk was happening. But the nerve-checking did confuse Virat and he promptly returned a stare to Danny that conveyed his weird move.

Virat returned to normalcy in few seconds and replied that this was his 163rd T20 match so there no such pressure on him and he is used to such situations. Here is the full video, the incident occurred at 1:15.
