CRIK:White-ball final king Hazlewood lifts another IPL crown

Josh Hazlewood has again proved why he's the worldwide master in white-ball finals, spearheading Royal Challengers Bengaluru's successful defence of their IPL crown with another magnificent display in their triumph over Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad.

Hazlewood's fellow Aussie Tim David played his part in RCB's successful pursuit too on Sunday, helping Virat Kohli, the peerless 'chasemeister' himself, in a key stand as they pulled off a five-wicket victory with 12 balls remaining.

Kohli was unbeaten on 75 off 42 balls, steering RCB to their target on 5-161, but his embrace of fellow veteran Hazlewood demonstrated just how much the Bendemeer 35-year-old had earlier done to pave the way, amazingly, for his eighth successive victory in a white-ball final.

Indeed, 'Hoff' is yet to lose one.
