Bangalore 73-0 (8 ovs) vs Delhi 95 | Scorecard

Delhi take a gamble as captain Duminy brings himself into the attack to bowl his part-time off-spin.

Gayle smashes the second ball powerfully past mid-off for a four and then takes a single to long-on two balls later.

A single to Kohli takes RCB to 50 for no loss after six overs.

Leg-spinner Amit Mishra comes into the attack. Kohli decides to join the party as he comes down the track and plays the inside out drive through the covers for a four. The next ball is flicked off the backfoot through midwicket for another four. He repeats the shot off the next delivery but can only get a single this time as the fielder has enough time to run around and stop it.

Two more singles get RCB 11 runs from Mishra's first over.

Tahir comes back and Kohli hits another boundary as he opens the face of the bat and steers it between point and short thirdman fielder. Two balls later, Gayle heaves it over midwicket for a six to bring up his fifty, from 29 balls.
