IPL 2016: RCB VS GL PLAYER RATINGS

Sixth-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore welcomed second placed Gujarat Lions at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in a very important match for both the teams. RCB wanted to win this match badly to keep their playoff hopes alive while GL wanted to consolidate their position in the table.
Winning the toss, GL stand-in skipper Brendon McCullum decided to field first. Little did he know that his decision was going to be a nightmare.
AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli hit their second and third century of the season respectively to propel RCB to a mammoth total of 248. Chasing such a huge target without their star batsman Suresh Raina was always going to be a tough task for GL batsmen and they failed miserably in their chase as the whole team was folded for a paltry 104, handing RCB a huge win of 144 runs.

Score:

RCB: 248/3(20)

GL:104/10(18.4)
