A devastating bowling display and a swashbuckling unbeaten 62 from Chris Gayle inspired Royal Challengers Bangalore to a thumping 10-wicket victory over Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League.
The likes of Mitchell Starc (3-20), man-of-the-match Varun Aaron (2-24) and David Wiese (2-18) left the Daredevils toiling and they were skittled for just 95 in Sunday's action in Delhi.
Gayle then wasted no time in the short chase, the West Indies star faced just 40 balls in his exciting knock, while Virat Kohli (35 not out) played the role of deputy expertly as Bangalore wrapped the simplest of victories with 57 balls remaining.
Shreyas Iyer hit a match-winning 83 when the Daredevils ended a nine-match losing run at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Thursday's 37-run win over Mumbai Indians.
But the rising star trudged back to his side's dug-out for a golden duck on this occasion as Starc's inswinging yorker left the batsman trapped lbw.
JP Duminy (13) and Mayank Agarwal (27) put on 34 for the second wicket, but when the former edged Wiese to wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik the resistance was broken.
Aaron dismissed Yuvraj Singh (2) and Angelo Mathews (0) in consecutive deliveries in the seventh over and, Kedar Jadhav's 33 aside, the rest of the side failed to make double figures as the last five wickets fell for just 28 runs.
Gayle had little intention of playing cautiously as Bangalore started their chase and he launched his first six off Domnic Muthuswami (0-14) over long-off in the second over.
Nathan Coulter-Nile (0-30), Imran Tahir (0-20) and Amit Mishra (0-25) were smashed straight over the ropes by Gayle, who also hit six fours during his enterprising knock.
Kohli played his part too, with six fours during the 23 balls he faced and the India star rounded off the win in style with back-to-back boundaries off Coulter-Nile in the 11th over.
