This is a post-dated blog! On May 10th we went to see Delhi Daredevils play Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi.
It was an extremely hot Friday evening, despite the match starting at 8pm. In our onesies - we were ROASTING! Sweating bucketloads and attracting a LOT of odd and concerned looks we settled down to watch the match.
The match was AMAZING. RCB batted first having lost the toss. Chris Gayle was out cheaply but Virat Kohli, captain, scored a mammoth 99 with some huge sixes off the last 2 overs. AB de Villers also contributed with some impressive sixers too. Gloria tried to make Marty and Melman join in with the Jumping Japang dance ... but was unsuccessful. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOjOK9ujw-o for some funny viewing!!
Delhi put up a good fight, keeping a high run rate but unfortunately losing wickets regularly. The chase went right to the last over of the match, with RCB successfully winning off the last ball. It was truly brilliant experiencing the vibrant, noisy and enthusiastic atmosphere. And despite it being a mainly home crowd for Delhi, the great performance by RCB was applauded and appreciated by all.
We had an amazing (but incredibly sweaty!) evening :)
