Not a fan of the IPL circus but watching AB and Virat batting today has been nothing short of sensational!

Will have to watch it later on Catch-Up. When I saw the headline on CricInfo, I had to read it twice to make sure I saw it correctly.

Watched the mini highlights package of AB and Kohli wrecking havoc on the Indians. Was fun to watch Gayle enjoying himself watching the festival of runs.

Was a cracker!! Legendary!! Wonder what our friend outcast would have to say about it?

David Miller was sensational in a losing cause tonight, 89 off 44. Brilliant knock!!

Yup, pity he didn't have like 2 more balls to face. Good knock.

Would have something else if he got the 28 off the last over!!

Yup, I remember Sharma getting 23 of the last over to win a match.. Back in the days when it was still Deccan Chargers.

Yeah, wondered the same thing especially as Kohli had a head start in the batting. Kohli had a great performance with the bath but was well and truly overshadowed by AB.

Miller just didn't have enough support at the other end or it would have been a probable win for Kings IX. So many of their games have gone close.

As MickeyD said, his performance bodes well for the Proteas.

Kings 9 Punjab? Was that a deliberate dig at my useless team?
