A t20 game is not just slam bang stuff . There is so much more to it this encounter at the Chinnaswamy stadium between the home team and the t20 2016 World Cup finalist had all the makings of a classic and it didn't disappoint .
Top 10 moments in this game
1. The Virat Kohli run out right at the beginning of the Indian innings must have cockled the hearts of the English side but not for long
2. Raina is a flat track bully and if it's a t20 he suddenly becomes asterix with or without that magic potion . He was greeted by deodorant balls and he does what he does best , muscling the ball with his full follow through , his straight six was the stand out
3. KL Rahul hit one of the biggest sixes which was around 98 metres and over the roof top . Coming from a touch player like him .. He really upped the ante but then he paid a price for playing across the line a bit too often getting castled by a straight delivery
4. The English Bowlers tried bowling to a plan but the Suresh Raina and MSDcombine had other plans , navigating one particular miserly MoenAli over which was worth gold dust in this format
5. Raina made a quick fifty , Dhoni in this particular innings was playing straight racing to his first fifty in t20 giving Yuvraj time to settle in
6. Yuvraj Singh - when on song is an absolute pleasure to watch . He made love to the ball in the most left handed manner .He was playing like lord shiva on tandav . He made the most of the 18th over , taking 24 runs , losing his wicket in the process , but the damage had been done .india making a mammoth 202 runs which in hindsight is quite a challenging target in the beautiful Chinnaswamy stadium
7. The English batsmen were greeted with the wide grin of #nehraji and he bowled a superb first over ..not giving an inch away
8. It didn't take much time for the spinners to get into the contest ..the hard working Amit Mishra leading the way
9. T20 games are not always batsmen pulverising the ball , it gets interesting when there is an even contest between bat and ball . Morgan in one particular over of Suresh Raina took him to the cleaners , hitting him all around the park for 22 runs . The next over proved to be the game changer
10. Yazhuvendra chawal a RCBian knows the Chinnaswamy stadium like the back of his hand and he baffled the English batsmen with his vast repertoire of tricks who wanted to go back home in a hurry . Chawal took 6 wickets for 25 .
The Indian batsmen did set up the score but the bowlers were up to it baffling the English batsmen with pace , spin and guile making the victory even more sweeter.

How could you be so neutral to everything? Even in the Nadal-Federer article, you were general. Keep enjoying movies and sports. If possible, write a review on The Hangover.

Shekhar Vijayan is an all rounder. He can talk about any subject at any time.
He is really gifted and Bengalurians are fortunate to have him in their midst.
Very well narrated the T20 match @ Bangaluru. Of course no one expected this
England team to cave like this to Chahal. Probably they were over confident.
Anyway, all the ODIs and the T20 matches were interesting and went to the wire.
Hope Kohli & Co. first conquer the Bangaladesh Team and then the mighty Aussies, who are on a roll. But they may find it a herculean task to tackle our bowlers, especially Spinners. Best of Luck to Kohli - Kumble team.
