De Villiers going after spinner Nadeem as he hits him for a hat-trick of fours, using the sweep to good effect and bisecting the space to perfection through the leg side.

The South African has raced to 21 from seven balls, having hit five fours so far, releasing some pressure off Kohli, who is on 15 from 14 balls.

Kohli joins the party as he whips a full delivery from Morris through the leg side for a four followed by five singles.

Medium pacer Harshal Patel bowls a tidy first over, giving away just six runs, bowling against his old team mates.

De Villiers goes after Tewatia in the next over, hitting him over the leg side for a six as RCB reach 82 for two in 10 overs.

Patel strikes in his next over with the key wicket of Kohli, who is brilliantly caught by Boult on the fine leg fence after scoring 30 from 26 balls.

Kohli flicks a full toss from Patel and it looks to be heading over the ropes till Boult plucks it out of mid air with a one-handed catch, timing his jump to perfection and is careful not to touch the boundary as he lands.

A sensational catch which leaves even Kohli stunned as he makes his way back to the dressing room.

Kohli and de Villiers put on 63 runs for the third wicket to keep RCB in the hunt. They need another 83 runs from nine overs for victory.

The onus will be on De Villiers to carry RCB for victory, he has blasted his way to 40 from 19 balls.
