RCB 22-0 (2 ovs) vs Hyderabad 194-5 | SCORECARD


RCB have a new opening pair as KL Rahul drafted back to open the innings with captain Virat Kohli. If you remember, Shane Watson had opened in the last match while Rahul had batted in the middle order, when he stroked a quickfire fifty.

Veteran Ashish Nehra to bowl the first over. Kohli gets a single from the first ball before Rahul steers the next ball square on the off-side for two runs.

Nehra overpitches as Rahul punches him straight down past mid-off for a delightful boundary and takes one followed by two more singles as 10 runs come from the first over.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the second over. Rahul turns the first ball on the leg side where a fumble gives him two runs before the right-hander chops the second ball over the off-side for a four and then sensibly takes one.

Kohli content to play second fiddle as he takes another single to bring Rahul back on strike, who guides the last ball square on the off-side for a four.

RCB are off to a quickfire start, scoring 22 runs from the first two overs.
