RCB 136-1 (15 ovs) vs Gujarat | Scorecard

And it is not long before AB goes after Jadeja, who bowled a good spell till this point. He makes room and lofts Jadeja over the off-side for a four before he heaves the next ball over midwicket for a six, to continue the carnage.

AB is going full throttle at a strike rate of more than 200, smashing his way to 63 from 31 balls, while Kohli is batting sedately on 44 from 34 balls.

Bravo is back but no stopping RCB, who continue to score runs freely. A good over from the medium pacer, as they collect just seven runs from the over as RCB reach 122 for one in 14 overs.

Leg-spinner Tambe comes back as Kohli drives the first ball down to long-off for a single to complete his half-century, from 39 balls.

De Villiers continues his charge as he slog sweeps Tambe over midwicket for a six. He plays an unbelievable shot off the next ball, using his wrists to good effect to slice the leg-spinner over point for a four and even Tambe is left stunned by the shot.

RCB smash their way to 136 for one in 15 overs, and if they continue this attacking approach for the next few overs, they could well touch the 200-run mark.

AB has been in control right from the start, hitting a quickfire 77 from 37 balls, while Kohli has played second fiddle on 51 from 40 balls.
