“When Plan A doesn’t work (Gayle), when Plan B doesn’t work (Kohli), there’s always plan AB,” wrote Mallya referring to the match-winning performance of AB de Villiers. No doubt, de Villiers deserves these words of praise. At one point of the match, RCB were 29 for five including captain Virat Kohli and Christ Gayle back in the pavilion. But de Villiers took the responsibilities on its own shoulder and played match-winning knock of an unbeaten 79 against the Lions in the semifinals to pilot the RCB into the IPL summit clash on Sunday.
