RCB 125-1 (13 ovs) vs Gujarat | Scorecard

Part-time medium pacer Dwayne Smith comes into the attack. Two singles from the first two balls before Gayle hits a straight six back over his West Indies team mate's head.

Smith bowls a wide as the bouncer goes too high over Gayle, who smashes the next ball over long-on for the second six of the over.

Two more singles as Smith goes for 17 in his first over with RCB crossing the 100-run mark, in the 11th over.

Dhawal comes back into the attack. He manages to produce that rare delivery which beats Gayle, outside the off-stump as the bowler and wicketkeeper appeal for a catch behind but the umpire is not interested.

He gets an edge off the next ball which goes fine on the off-side for a four. Two balls later, he slaps a wide full delivery square on the off-side for another boundary before he is foxed by a slower ball.

The impressive young pacer Thampi finally makes the breakthrough with the big wicket of Gayle. The quick yorker beats Gayle who plays all over it but misses and is trapped leg before wicket after a fiery innings of 77 from 38 balls, having hit five four and seven sixes.

Travis Head gets off the mark with two runs before he picks one from the last ball.
