Why Sheppy is just a vooper in this match?
KKR and Mumbai is the only teams to value our players over a prolonged period…

Saurabh Dubey to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, Bethell is starting to get a hang of Dubey and the surface. This was a gimme - short and wide outside off, Bethell does not miss out - rides the bounce and cracks it square on the off-side

Saurabh Dubey to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, back of a length outside off, Bethell waits for the ball to arrive and opens the bat face, directs it square and beats a diving Powell near cover-point. No chance for Arora as well in the deep. Bethell jumped to get on top of the bounce and played it really well

Kartik Tyagi to Bethell, OUT
a snorter, and Bethell has to depart! Shortish on middle and leg. Climbs through on Bethell and he gets cramped for room on the pull. Nowhere to go and the ball spoons up off the splice. Kisses the helmet before looping up definitively and the bowler does the rest. RCB's opening partnership broken in the fourth over!

Roy to Kohli, SIX runs
play that on repeat all night long! This is just...sumptuous. Fullish on middle and off. Kohli gets close enough to it and creams it with a straight bat into the sightscreen!

How much Koli muk????😀
18.2 Arora to Kohli, 1 run
a hundred to savour! The chasemaster doing chasemaster things again, and this has been a knock right out of the top drawer! Full toss outside off. Kohli jams it down the ground and brings up a 58-ball 100 to make a potentially tricky chase look rather routine
RCB won by 6 wickets (with 5 balls remaining)
