This is what I like about this man, Adam Gilchrist. Aggressive, violence, and passion....He is still young even in his 40s. Only Gilly can play such an innings ( I dare even Sachin can ). While on the other end Shaun Marsh in his own style....Both of them really "ruined" Bangalore Royal Challengers keeping Punjab Kings XI still in the hunt. Today Punjab Kings XI thrashed Bangalore Royal Challengers by 111 runs.
It was not Christopher Gayle or Paul Valthaty who cracked Darmasala sky as we all hoped. Truly cricket is a gentleman's gameas the prominent gentleman of modern day cricket really entertained the crowd as he smoked nine sixes. But the the beginning Kings were chocking as they scored only 30 runs for one wicket in six overs after they decided to bat first. A short ball from Mithun helped Gilly to kick start his whirlwind knock. He also produced the longest six in the tournament, a huge 122 meters of Langeveldt in the 10-th over o fthe match. With that he fully opened the flood gates. Bangalore become in real vein as Marsh also began his assault in the 15-th over as he smashed Van der Wath for 30 runs. Van der Wath also became the most expensive bowler as he conceded 50 runs as he was well "backed up" by Langeveldt by 48 runs. Adam Gilchrist completed his second IPL century in the third ball of the last over ad was out in the penultimate ball. Till then he scored106 runs of 55 balls and Shaun Marsh scored 79 of 45 balls. Both of them had a highest partnership in any wicket of 226 runs and that to in 99 balls.
