His master stroke was followed by yuvraj singh and few others down the order. After an amazing innings start, Ben cutting provided few cutting edge shots to power hyderabad to a massive score of 208 runs in 20 overs.Though it's not the highest total which is being chased in Bangalore ( highest total is 250 runs ),so there were a lot of chance for Royal Challengers Bangalore to win the match as they have run machines like skipper Virat Kohli , AB De Villiers and chris gayle.

With his massive 76 runs from 38 deliveries gave Royal Challengers Bangalore a massive start , with that they achieved a magical number of 100 runs without a loss in just 9 overs.

Orange cap holder Virat Kohli was disappointed over the loss, but said : “It is a nice incentive, but it does not feel good to be at the other side of the result.
