 | | | | | Controversy of the day | | | It's hard to believe that we're complaining about an umpire not using technology, but Sanjay Hazare's decision to not refer a run-out appeal to the 3rd umpire when Kevin Pietersen was well short of his crease was quite an unbelievable moment. | | | | | | |  | | | | | Finisher of the day | | | The ease with which Kieron Pollard destroyed Mitchell Johnson, scoring 20 runs off the penultimate over, and finished off a match that looked out of Mumbai's reach was just plain ridiculous. | | | | | | |  | | | | | Catch of the day | | | Kings XI keeper Wriddhiman Saha, perhaps buoyed by his half-century earlier in the day, pulled off a wonderful catch -- which was like an oasis in a desert of fielding mediocrity in IPL 7. | | | | | | | | | |  | |  | | | | | Bizarre shot of the day | | | T20 cricket marries the sublime with the ridiculous. Batsmen, especially, get away with playing all kinds of rubbish shots. But it doesn't get much more bizarre than CM Gautam's "fly swatter" from yesterday (we're hoping the name catches on!). | | | | | | |  | | | | | Unlikely hero of the day | | | Before this match, Royals opener Karun Nair was a relatively unknown entity, even though he hit three centuries in three successive Ranji matches in Karnataka's title-winning 2013/14 campaign. On Saturday, he carried his bat through RR's chase with a well-made 73 off only 50 balls. | | | | | | |  | | | | | 8 PM | | | | Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad | Match Centre | | | | | | | | | | | |
