Hardik comes back into the attack as Mandeep picks a single and Kohli also takes one off the third ball.

Bumrah, who has two overs in hand, is called back into the attack. Three singles from the first three balls before Mandeep clubs a length over midwicket for a six and keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Mandeep looks to repeat the dose in the next over as he swings Hardik over the leg side but fails to get the distance and is caught at deep midwicket after scoring 14.

Hardik claims the big wicket of Kohli with the very next delivery. Kohli perishes after a good innings of 32 from 26 balls as he also attempts a big shot but is caught at long-on by Pollard.

Washington Sundar avoids the hat-trick with a single on the off-side before Colin de Grandhomme picks one for get off the mark as RCB look to rebuild again.

But Hardik strikes for the third time in his third over. Sundar pulls the last ball straight into the hands of Rohit at deep midwicket to make his way back for one.

Three wickets and just two runs off the Hardik over, who has resurrected his figures to 28 for three after an expensive start.

Including the run out of McCullum, Hardik has played a role in all of the last four RCB wickets.
