that's what cost brc the coveted trophy...in the finals of ipl 2009...
for once i agree with mallya...when he said...
We were not beaten by six runs, we gave the match away by six runs
brc played as many as 62 dot balls during their innings...that's more than half the quota of allotted 20 overs per innings...
dot balls meant that pressure to score boundary was even more than normal coz of lack of strike rotation and the new batsman didn't had cushion of deliveries to settle in...specially in a big match like final of a tournament...
hence that apparent panic in BRC batsmen...
considering they lost it by only 6 runs...playing out more than 10 overs of their innings as dot balls ultimately proved suicidal...
