Kohli, de Villiers rally RCB after Gayle's early dismissal

April 17, 2016 20:26

RCB 50-1 (5 ovs) vs Delhi | SCORECARD

Mohammed Shami comes into the attack in place of Morris, who bowled just one over with the new ball.

The first ball is good, hitting AB on the pads, who sneaks a leg bye. But the next is poor, on the pads and slipping down as Kohli nudges it fine for a four. Kohli then plays a majestic cover drive, making most of a wide half volley for another boundary.

The last ball is short and this time AB makes most of it, pulling it high over midwicket for a six as Shami goes for 15 runs in his first over.

Zaheer continues and is taken for runs by de Villiers, in the fifth over. Three singles from the first three balls before AB pulls a short ball through midwicket and then drills a full toss through the covers for back to back fours.

AB makes it a hat-trick of fours, this time he gets it between point and short thirdman as RCB race to 50 for one in five overs, with 31 coming from the last two overs.
