AB de Villiers scored a counter-attacking 76 off 34 balls against KKR and guided RCB to a huge total of 204. It looked like a one-man army at one point with Glenn Maxwell dictating the pace of the innings. His partner Devdutt Padikkal struggled to accelerate. But, it was de Villers who changed things in the latter half of the RCB innings by playing an aggressive knock himself. RCB ended with 204/4 from 9/2 at one point, and a lot of credit should go to the South African who finished the innings and remained unbeaten.
