Quinton de Kock’s brilliant 51-ball-108 made him the highest impact player, and batsman, of the match, as Delhi Daredevils celebrated their first win, by seven wickets, over Royal Challengers Bangalore since April 2010.
De Kock was under pressure following the early dismissal of Shreyas Iyer, but proceeded to add 176 runs with Sanju Samson and Karun Nair for company – highlighted by a 134 run partnership for the third wicket with Nair. It was the highest impact performance of his IPL career.
Shane Watson’s all-round effort saw him finish as the second-highest impact player of the match. He was also the highest impact bowler for his two top/middle-order wickets in the most restrictive spell of this run-fest.
Six players from Bangalore failed to register any impact in the match. While Delhi had five such players themselves, de Kock’s individual brilliance saved them the blushes. Bangalore, though, had themselves to blame for not scoring enough off the last four overs of their innings.
