END OF OVER:1 | DC: 11/2
Phew. That does it for the night. Good bye
Virat Kohli is the Man of the Match.
Virat Kohli: "Fourth last-ball finish for us, our time had to come in the Super Over i guess, but we should have won with an over to spare. Great comeback by DD and great hits by AB to get us back into the game. We needed 26 off 28 when AB got run out and I didnt get strike after that. I would have been really angry if we had lost today. Ravi bowled a great over to pull us back. It was a brilliant effort by the bowlers."
Mahela Jayawardene: "We are getting there. Four overs to go we were not in, couple of crucial wickets, we came back. In the super over, the first three-four balls were alright. That shows the character of the team, the guys are fighting, we need to handle those crucial situations better."
Hang on for the presentation
RCB end on the happier side of a Super Over this time, after their loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Their collapse lends more credence to those saying their batting starts and ends with Gayle, AB and Kohli. Two of their four wins now have come without Gayle firing, though, and that is a start towards gaining some balance
Fifth successive losses for Delhi now, they were all but out of this match before RCB handed them a lifeline and yanked it back late
AB de Villiers says he felt responsible for starting the collapse and was lucky to get back in the Super Over with those two sixes. Also credits Rampaul for delivering with the ball
Kohli clenches his fists and screams, a lot better than what he was uttering after getting out earlier
Vaaalpaiyan: "Just 2 seasons before, Sehwag would ve been automatic choice for super over in any team across IPL.. regardless of win or loss its painful to see Sehwag stays in dug-out during super over.."
