April 24, 2019 20:17

RCB 27-0 (2 ovs) vs Punjab | Scorecard

Captain Virat Kohli walks out to open the batting for RCB along with the in-form Parthiv Patel.

Pacer Ankit Rajpoot will open the bowling for the visitors. Parthiv gets going in style as he slashes the second ball past point for a four to get off the mark in confident fashion.

The next ball is lofted back over mid-off for a four as Parthiv makes his intentions clear early on.

Kohli steers the fifth ball through the off-side and then takes a single as 12 come from the first over.

Mohammed Shami to bowl from the other end. He is unlucky not to get the big wicket of Kohli first ball, who flicks it uppishly but Hardus Viljoen at midwicket puts down the simple catch.

The next ball is wide and full as Kohli drives it through the covers for a four and then hits the next through the same region for another boundary.

Kohli then takes a single on the off-side before Parthiv flicks the fifth ball fine on the leg side for another four and Shami follows it up with a wide as RCB race to 27 for no loss in two overs.
