Bangalore Royal Challengers produced a excellent bowling display in last over to claim a three-run win over Deccan Chargers and moved up in IPL table. This was one of best game so far in IPL. Both sides came into the game with one win and four defeats behind them and want to win at any cost and we seen efforts made by both teams. Although we have only winner bur it produce the match of IPL. Deccan Chargers won the toss first and elect bowling first and RP Singh provide good start by picking up Chipli but then Indian opening batsmen Jaffer and Indian U-19 captain Kohli take the commands on Royal challengers and put 72 runs stand for second wicket. After taking a good start they can carry on the job and post only 156 runs for six on the board. It was a easy target for Deccan Chargers but they are under pressure once they loss both explosive batsmen Gilchrist and Gibbs so early. VVS Laxman and Rohit Sharma were adding 96 for the third wicket in 11.4 overs put a hope for easy wicket but once Rohit Sharma out who made 57 runs and he also highest run-scorer in the IPL with 235, they lost the momentum and finally it turns into another defeat. After this match Bangalore Royal Challengers moves to 6th position with 4 points while Deccan will stay on 7th with 2 points.
