IPL 2025 restarts

5.1
Eshan Malinga to Kohli, SIX, hit with authority! A length ball angling in on middle, Kohli makes some room and clubs it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Was a slower ball and Kohli read it quite early and dispatched it

5.5
Eshan Malinga to Phil Salt, SIX, to deep backward point
5.3
Eshan Malinga to Phil Salt, FOUR, shot! 119.3kph slower ball but it's in the slot, Phil Salt clears his front leg and smashes it over mid-off for a one-bounce boundary

Philip Salt 20(15)
Virat Kohli 42(22)

6.6
Harsh Dubey to Kohli, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! The left-arm spinner has done the trick and he's pumped. Huge wicket as Kohli was looking in such great touch. He tries making room to cut through the off-side, but Dubey follows him, cramps him up and he slices it to backward pont, failing to get on top of the bounce.

11.2
Cummins to Phil Salt, out Caught by Harshal Patel!! Salt goes "oh no" as soon as he hits this! Full delivery speared in around off, he shuffles across looking to whip it through the on-side but only manages a thick leading edge. It goes high in the air and Harshal takes it safely running across from mid-off.

Unadkat to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, catch seems to have gone down. He barely got a hand on it. Full delivery angled in on off and middle from round the wicket,

Sheppy emulates Quiana…perfectly

15.4
Eshan Malinga to Rajat Patidar, out Rajat Patidar Run Out!! Brilliant from Malinga, both the delivery and then the fielding. Absolutely inch-perfect yorker around off, Patidar can't do much other than squeeze it next to the pitch. They take the risk of going for the single despite the ball very close to Malinga and he makes them pay for it. He picks it up in follow through and fires a direct hit at the bowler's end.

Rajat Patidar run out (Eshan Malinga) 18(16) [4s-1]

15.6
Eshan Malinga to Shepherd, out Caught&Bowled!! Double-strike from Malinga and he has swung the momentum SRH's way. Slower ball floated up around off at 118kph, Shepherd is early through the drive, fails to keep it down and Malinga takes a superb catch in follow through, stretching to his left with both hands.

In reply to Narper
Was really looking for a cameo from Sheppy .

17.4
Eshan Malinga to Tim David, out Caught by Klaasen!! After all those fireworks, RCB are finishing with a whimper. Low full toss at the stumps, David - struggling with his hamstring - tries lofting it down the ground but fails to get under it.
