Royal Challengers Bangalore – 49 all out. Yes, you read that right. How many times do you see that on the scorecard of a side that boasts the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers? Well, it just happened on Sunday night as the Kolkata Knight Riders pacers demolished a power-packed RCB batting line-up with some fierce bowling and a lot of fire in their belly. Nathan Coulter-Nile was seething fire in his opening spell and had the back of big guns Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers to his name. If that was not enough, Chris Woakes joined his bowling partner from the other end and brought an end to Chris Gayle’s stay at the crease; again, Coulter-Nile taking center stage, not with the ball but with a catch. Woakes ran through two more in his kitty only to be joined by New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme who also picked up three. Just like that. Umesh Yadav got one to his name and it was all merry for the KKR pace battery who created havoc in front of a packed Eden Gardens. They say low totals are tricky to chase and even trickier to defend. KKR sure seemed to have had a trick or two up their sleeve that worked like magic. Here are two of the four chief architects from the epic win who couldn’t stop grinning after what they had done to their opposition. Presenting Coulter-Nile & Chris Woakes. Excerpts: The best T20 win till date? Nathan Coulter-Nile: It was a hell of a win. When you are defending low totals like that, you have to do something special and the team produced that today. Chris Woakes: Unbelievable win tonight. When we came back to the dressing room after the first half, we knew it was a below par score or probably we ‘thought’ it was. But, it was a great opening spell from Nathan to get us back into the game. Umesh Yadav and him knocked off the three big ones at the top. It was just a great win and we are really pleased. Half-time talk? Woakes: We were obviously under par and we knew that. The heads were down in the dressing room at half-time. But, we came out and we had a chat and we said it was time to show some pride and fight. The captain wanted some intensity and the two opening bowlers did that. The rest of us backed it up from there on. I suppose until you go out there and don’t pick wickets, you don’t believe you can do it. Once we started getting wickets, all of a sudden you had belief. Coulter-Nile: I didn’t tell myself anything. I just wanted to bowl good balls. They (RCB batsmen) are very good players and you just don’t want to go too ahead of yourself. It was just about bowling good balls, hoping there was a bit of something in the wicket in the second innings. We hoped they made a mistake, which they did. The pitch – a pace bowler’s paradise? Woakes: It definitely assisted the seamers and it is probably the first time that we had good pace and carry since the time we started playing here. It swung a bit to start with as well which helps. But you still got to put the ball in the right areas and we managed to do that tonight. Coulter-Nile: It was a tough wicket to bowl actually. If you went a little bit off, you got punished. I went for 41 the last time against Gujarat Lions. You just got to be right on the money. Sometimes you go for runs and sometimes you got the wickets. It was fun to play there. Virat Kohli-AB de Villiers in the pocket – a happy wickets column? Coulter-Nile: I would have taken any three wickets as long as I was taking wickets. All the boys did that throughout the game and it doesn’t really matter who it is. I don’t have numbers or names in my head, but yes, pretty good players to have in the bag. Coulter-Nile’s opening spell – from Woakes’ POV Woakes: Watching him bowl, you could just tell that he was in good rhythm. He was hitting the pitch pretty hard and moving the ball well. He got the ball swinging. Getting Virat Kohli first ball showed you his confidence. From then on, I suppose you just try and put the ball in your right areas and hope for the wickets to come. It was a great opening spell of T20 bowling. A Chris Gayle skier – heart pounding? Woakes: (Laughs) Well, my heart wasn’t pounding but his heart might have for sure. But, when I saw Nathan under the ball, I knew he would take it. He has a safe pair of hands and I knew 99% he was going to take it. It was obviously a big wicket. But I felt AB de Villiers’s wicket was a huge one too because he came and struck a couple of boundaries early on. Getting the big three was huge, but we had to get all ten to win the game. All ten were just as important. An AB de Villiers mishit – nerves watching Robin Uthappa under it? Coulter-Nile: My first reaction was that it was going over Robbie’s head and then I thought Robbie had run back too far. Then I thought he was going to get to it. There was a lot going through in my head that time and I was glad he caught it and kept his cool. RCB were three down then and I thought we were in it for a win.
