Navdeep Saini took the third wicket for RCB taking out Shubham Gill with just one run, a miserable start for KKR.

Coming back in the game, KKR took the second wicket in the same over and sent Devdutt Padikkal back for 25 runs. Padikkal got run out due to a mix-up with Manpreet Singh. Captain Virat Kohli came to bat, and RCB didn’t look back. Kohli and Manpreet’s back-to-back boundaries helped RCB chase down the target in 13.3 overs and win the match by eight wickets.

Yuzvendra Chahal knocked two wickets Sundar and Saini also got one wicket each, but Mohammed Siraj 3/8, who replaced Shahbaz Ahmed for the match, wrecked the most wickets.
