RCB 142-4 (15 ovs) vs SRH | Scorecard

Shahbaz comes back into the attack. Kohli takes a single from the first ball to complete his fifty from 37 balls to continue his amazing run with the bat in IPL 2024.

Green takes one before Kohli attempts the slog sweep but his beaten. He looks to loft the fourth ball over the off-side but ends up dragging it to the fielder at long-off for a single.

Kohli, who is batting on 51 from 40 balls, hasn't hit a boundary in the last 24 balls faced. His last boundary hit was a six off Natarajan in the sixth over and since then he has relied on ones and twos.

RCB have also slowed down quite a bit, not getting a boundary in the last three overs.

In the next over, Kohli looks to break free. He attempts a big heave across the line but is beaten by the change of pace delivery from Unadkat.

He misses the flick next ball to take a leg bye followed by a wide down the leg side to Cameron Green.

Green swats the slower bouncer but only for a single to deep midwicket before Kohli falls off the next.

Kohli mistimes the pull shot off the slower bouncer only to hole out a simple catch to Samad at deep square leg.

Kohli struggled to up the ante in the middle overs as he walked back after a sedate 51 from 43 balls, having hit four fours and a six.

Two big wickets for Unadkat in successive overs as RCB slip to 142/4 in 15 overs.

Unadkat has been quite in the middle overs with his deceptive change of pace, taking 2/20 in three overs.

RCB need a strong finish in the last five overs to finish on a healthy total.
