Deccan Chargers finally won a game after losing some in succession as they beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore by seven wickets and with four balls to spare at the M Chinnaswamy.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore batted first after being put into bat by the opposition. Manish Pandey, who was drafted back into the side after being left out in the previous game was dismissed by a Ryan Harris in-swinger, but Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis took the score up to 60/1 in the ninth over. 
At this stage, the team looked good to accelerate forward, but the Deccan Chargers roared back into the game through the wickets of Dravid, Robin Uthappa and Ross Taylor; all within a span of eight runs. This meant that the side was at 68/4 in 10.1 overs, and despite the presence of Kallis, it looked like the Chargers would be able to restrict them to 150. 
As it turned out, Virat Kohli proved to be the saviour for the home team. He worked his way around to begin with, but once he got his eye in, it was carnage. Such devastating was his batting that he had scored only 12 runs off his first 18 balls, but went on to smash Andrew Symonds for a couple of sixes and a couple of boundaries to take 23 of him.
16 came off the 18th, 13 off the 19th and despite the dismissal of the Orange Cap holder Kallis, 17 runs were scored in the final over to get the side up to 184/6 in the 20 overs.
In reply, the opening pair for the Chargers was that of Adam Gilchrist and Monish Mishra, but the latter was dismissed for nine in the 3rd over. Gilly was his usual belligerent self, but the problem, to begin with at the other end, when T Suman failed to get bat to ball.
Gilly took upon himself to take on the bowling, but the story of the IPL for him repeated again. He blasted off a couple of sixes and three fours and looked good for much more, before he was stumped by Robin Uthappa off the bowling of Anil Kumble for 32 off 19 deliveries.
At this stage the Chargers needed someone to take the bull by its horns, and the desire became a need when even Rohit Sharma was marched off by Vinay Kumar.
T Suman was batting rather well at the other end, and Andrew Symonds joined him. The two rotated a bit of strike to begin with, but the good thing was that they did not allow the asking rate to shoot up from the levels of 11 to much higher than 12.
In the end, Suman blasted off a six off Anil Kumble, and another off Praveen Kumar, while Symonds played his part in smacking the maximums each time he got a chance to do so.
28 runs were needed off the last three overs, and Steyn needed to pick up a wicket off his last over. As it turned out, he conceded five singles, apart from been hit for a boundary and then Kallis went for a six off the penultimate over to make it much easier for the Chargers. Nine runs were needed off the last over, and Symmo smacked a six and a four off successive balls to win it for the side.
The pair of Symonds and Suman had added 91 runs for the fourth wicket off only 46 balls! Suman’s unbeaten 78 off 57 balls won him the man of the match award.
