RCB 47-1 (6 ovs) vs Royals 177-6

Young pacer Kartik Tyagi comes into the attack.

Kohli picks a single from the first ball before the pacer bowls a wide to Padikkal, who then pulls a short ball fine on the leg side for a four.

The left-hander then finds the gap on the other side as he uses Tyagi's pace and runs it past short thirdman for another boundary and risks a quick single to Smith at mid-off.

Sensible stuff from Kohli as he taps the last ball for a single on the off-side, to get 12 runs from the over.

Left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat is brought into the attack.

Kohli steers the first ball through the gap between point and short thirdman for two runs but is unable to get a run off the last two balls.

The RCB captain then comes down the track and lofts Unadkat over mid-on for a four before he slaps the last ball past point for two runs, to take RCB to 47-1 in six overs. They need 131 runs from 14 overs for victory at an asking rate of 9.35.
