Bangalore Royal Challengers were looking a very weak side in IPL T20 season 2 especially under the captaincy of Kevin Pietersen. However, today was a new day as the captaincy was handed to previous test captain of India and legendary spinner Anil Kumble. Anil Kumble won the toss and decided to bat. Most the Bangalore Royal Challengers batsmen failed to score much but a useful 35 runs off 19 balls by Roelof van der Merwe helped them reach a competitive total of 148/9 in 20 overs. For the Kings XI Punjab, Yusuf Abdulla took 4 wickets for 36 runs while Irfan Pathan took 2 wickets for 19 runs. However, the highlight of the first innings was a hat-trick by Kings XI Punjab captain as he took Robin Uthappa, Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher of consecutive deliveries as he finished his bowling figures at 3 wickets for 22 runs. Kings XI Punjab started brilliantly as Yuvraj Singh scored a brilliant 50 off 34 balls but none of the other batsmen could hold long after his departure. Kings XI Punjab could only finish at 137/7 in their 20 overs and lost by 8 runs. Yuvraj Singh was awarded the Man of the Match for his hat-trick and blazing knock of 50 runs.
