Gayle Stunning performance RCB thrill win

A nerveless last over from Vinay Kumar saw Royal Challengers Bangalore earn a dramatic 2-run victory over Mumbai Indians at the Bangalore Chinnaswamy Stadium, in the second match of IPL 2013. Mumbai arrived in the 20th over only 3 wickets down, and needing 10 runs for victory, but a double strike from Kumar, early in the over, brought 2 new batsmen to the crease, and mounted extensive pressure on the visitors.
Kieron Pollard got on strike for the first time, with 8runs needed and only 2 balls remaining and though he struck his 1st ball for a four, which would have been a six, but for one inch, he could onlydig out the perfect yorker Kumar delivered on the last ball as far as long on.
