Bangalore: Both the connoisseur and the commoner got their money’s worth on a very warm yesterday night here at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

A batting beauty was promised by the curator and the batting was more than beautiful, a lot of brutality on the part of AB De Villiers first and the prodigy Sarfaraz Khan towards the end, combining nicely with Virat Kohli’s finesse to eventually set up a 45-run win for Royal Challengers Bangalore over Sunrisers Hyderabad.
