The record breaking t-20 Vs PWI

The home match for RCB against Pune Warriors and Gayle was at his very explosive best!


This one match will be remembered by everyone, when Gayle almost broke every record, he is a super human. The 175 runs he made included 17 6’s and 13 4’s, Pune had nothing to do and Gayle was at his very best and more over it was Chris Gayle’s day at M.Chinnaswamy stadium Bengaluru and for the fans who watched the match at the stadium, they could not have asked for a better match.

Pune, earlier had won the toss and decided to bowl and soon there was a Rain when RCB  came into bat and RCB openers Gayle and Dilshan had put on 11 runs in 1.2 overs. The play was stopped for less than a hour and Fans had to wait, and the wait provided too costly for the Pune warriors, once the covers were removed and the play resumed, Gayle was in full flow, the rain had stopped and the Gayle storm had just started.

There was no one in the Pune warrior contingent who could stop the super human Chris Gayle and he was on a roll, on the other end Dilshan was calm and watching Gayle going on a rampage. Pune warriors managed a score of 133 chasing RCB’s giant score of 263/5.

A quick look on the Records made Yesterday.

175* is the Highest Individual score made by any batsman in all t-20 matches

From Chennai to Chinnaswamy!

RCB this time had called the FAB's to watch the RCB RR encounter and it was a quality time for me coming to Chinnaswamy for the first time.

The Fab's have been waiting for this day, the 20th of april the Home game of RCB against RR. It was a fun time for me traveling from Chennai to Bengaluru. Joined by my fellow fab   members from Bengaluru, we were waiting for the match to get started.

RCB had won the toss and decided to bowl, and we were seated at the N stand, RC Fan Terrace and that had the best view, seated comfortably, we started watching the proceedings. Me, coming to chinnaswamy for the first time, was thrilled to watch the red flags all over and cheering RCB every time when a wicket fell for RR and DJ's and the music made the event much more interesting and awesome.

When Dravid came in to bat, there was a huge cheer and the flags of Rcb were waving all over the ground and that was a lovely sight, he deserved it. Probably the only Rajasthan Player who got so much amount of cheer and applause from the crowd, when ever he hit a four and that was a lovely experience watching him bat at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

My co fab's included, Allen, Sachin, Nivedith G, Suhasini Mitra, Ayush Agarwal, Parthasarathy, Dibyashree De, Mukesh and Naresh. We kept cheering for every Rajasthan wicket and every run scored by Rcb.

Rcb has always got something for the Fab's and they do have a good fan engagement system and all the fans would have loved those.

Be that be the Bangaluru food, be that be the BMTC travel, I had loved  everything, just to cheer for this team and would always continue to do this and Visit the city more frequently.

Watching RCB win in the home is always special and when you are present during that occasion in the stadium that makes something more special and RCB has been unbeaten at home and they have won every match there proving a lot of entertainment. We have a long way to go this IPL and wishing our team all the best, we got the best players and we are growing more stronger. Hope the IPL-6 is ours! Keep cheering, keep supporting.
