Ab de Villiers was adjudged the Man of the Match in the game between Royal Challengers Bangalore & Kolkata Knight Riders. De Villiers scored 76 runs, with three sixes and nine boundaries, in just 34 balls.

After winning the award de Villiers said, "I did play well and had a lot of fun. Maxi made it easier and it's difficult coming into a game on a pitch that has been slower. It was a bit of both. It wasn't a 200-wicket; maybe 170 was about par today. The most important thing is I'm enjoying myself and my cricket - my family is here.”
