A.B De Villiers during his 105
One of the best knocks of the tournament was from Delhi's A.B. De Villiers, after he bedazzled the Chennai bowlers earlier in the tournament with the first century of this year. It was a knock of pure class, and tells the tale of how far the South African has come over the years, whilst also proving he really could have what it takes to fulfill his personal goal of becoming the number one batsmen in the world. An innings of 105 off just 54 balls, which boasted 5 fours and 6 maximums can't hurt his claims for this.It hasn't just been the batsmen who have stunned the crowds and opposition with some great contributions, the bowlers during this tournament have also done a wonderful job. The captain of Bangalore, Anil Kumble still holds the best bowling figures of the tournament with the stunning figures of 5-5 off 3.1 over's, which is unheard of in this format of the game. His leadership throughout this tournament has been vital to Bangalore's spot in the final.
Adam Gilchrist'
s innings of 85 of just 35 deliveries was absolutely devastating. His brutal knock diminished any hopes of Delhi ending as winners of the 2009 edition of the Indian Premier League, with Gilchrist's half century coming off just 17 balls.Tonight, the grand final will take place in Johannesburg, with the Bangalore Royal Challengers taking on the Deccan Chargers. The winner of this clash can't really be picked, as both teams have fought hard for there spot in this final and both have amazing young talent, whilst also boasting players of a lot of experience.
