Gayle dismissed for 49, RCB lose first wicket

May 16, 2016 22:28

RCB 72-1 (8 ovs) vs KKR 183-5 | Scorecard

Young pacer Ankit Rajpoot comes into the attack and he sends down a superb over under the circumstances, conceding just two singles.

Gayle makes up for it by lofting the first ball of Narine's second over for a six over long-off.

But the spinner gets revenge two balls later as he traps Gayle leg before wicket after an entertaining innings of 49 from 31 balls, having hit five fours and four sixes.

The quicker delivery does the trick as Gayle is beaten all ends up and struck on the backfoot deep in the crease. But the West Indian has done his job, adding 71 runs from 45 balls for the opening wicket with Kohli to give his team the perfect start.

Another good over for KKR, as just nine have come from the last two overs to check RCB after the flying start.
