Sunrisers Hyderabad Vs Royal Challengers Bangalore:
The final of IPL 2016 was played on 29 May between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore (Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad) in Bengaluru. Hyderabad captain David Warner won the toss and decided to bat first.
Warner, who was in form, played a brilliant innings of 69 runs in 38 balls while leading from the front in the important match. He got good support from Yuvraj Singh (38), Ben Cutting (39) and Shikhar Dhawan (28). In this way, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored a huge score of 208 runs in the final.
2016 IPL Final
The Bangalore team, adorned with veterans, made a great start while chasing a big target. Captain Virat Kohli along with fellow opener Chris Gayle scored 114 runs in 10.3 overs. This pair broke due to the dismissal of Gayle, who was out after scoring 76 runs on 38 balls. The second blow to the team was Virat’s dismissal, but by then the score had reached 140. Kohli was out after scoring 54 runs in 35 balls.
When Virat Kohli was out, Royal Challengers Bangalore were 69 runs away from the target and had 43 balls left to achieve it. AB de Villiers and KL Rahul were at the crease and Shane Watson was yet to come on the field. This was a situation which could have easily turned into victory, but IPL is known for uncertainty. The fun of IPL is that what is expected may not be fulfilled and the seemingly impossible task may get done. The same happened in the 2016 final as well.
RCB Could Not Score 69 Runs In Last 43 Balls
Despite the presence of AB de Villiers, KL Rahul, and Shane Watson, Royal Challengers Bangalore could not score 69 runs in the last 43 balls. KL Rahul and Watson were out after scoring 11-11 and AB after scoring 5 runs. Stuart Binny (9), Chris Jordan (3) and Iqbal Abdullah (4) also left after telling the story of Aayiram-Gayaram.
The struggle of Sachin Baby (18 not out) also did not help Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad made a wonderful comeback and won the match by 8 runs.
In 2016, Royal Challengers also had a chance to win their first title IPL, but it failed. This time the second team in the final was Rajasthan Royals. If they win, they will become the champion for the second time. The Hyderabad team was in front of Bangalore in the 2016 final. Only Hyderabad had captured the trophy then.
This was the second title of the Hyderabad franchise. However, he won these titles under different names. For the first time in 2009, when the Hyderabad team won the final, its name was the Deccan Chargers. When it became champion for the second time, its name was Sunrisers Hyderabad.
