RCB 75-0 (8 ovs) vs Gujarat | Scorecard

After a watchful start, Gayle has cut loose. He takes on India's best spinner of the season Jadeja in his second over.

He hits the second ball straight but hits Kohli on the pads at the other end but the next is smashed back again, this time in the gap, for a four.

Jadeja bowls it a bit wide as Gayle hammers it over the covers for a four and then heaves the next ball over midwicket for a six.

However, Jadeja gets revenge with the wicket of Gayle with the very next delivery. He mishits a full toss down the ground as Brendon McCullum who takes a stunning one-handed diving catch on the edge of the ropes, running to his right at long-off.

Gayle, on 38 from 18 balls, gets a lifeline as the edge of his floppy hat touches the boundary rope which also gifts RCB a six. The television confirms that McCullum was unlucky not to get the decision in his favour by the slightest of margins as the brim of his hat kissed the boundary ropes.

Gayle survives as RCB  race to 75 for no loss in eight overs with Gayle on 44 from just 19 balls and Kohli on 31 from 29 balls at the other end.

Jadeja has suffered in the over, being hit for two sixes and two fours by Gayle as he goes for 21 runs in his second over.
