Fourrr from Rahul Tewatia over the deep extra cover region. That will ease the pressure, followed by a two in the next ball off Suyash Sharma. Rashid Khan hits the winning runs as Gujarat Titans win by four wickets and 4.1 overs to spare. Gujarat Titans enter the 10-point club.
OUTTT!!! Jason Holder, trying to go over the line, is caught at the boundary by Devdutt Padikkal. Gujarat Titans need 15 runs to win and this is not the right time to lose a wicket. Rahul Tewatia is still in the middle. More than six overs are left in the play. Gujarat Titans don't want to lose from here. Rashid Khan walks in. GT 141/6 (14)
The Gujarat Titans middle order has failed again. At a time when the home side needed a partnership, both Shahrukh Khan and Washington Sundar packed their bags in the same over by Romario Shepherd. But, Rahul Tewatia and Jason Holder smashed a six and a four in the final three balls later in that over to ease the pressure. GT 122/5 (11)
Bhuvneshwar Kumar strikes again! Jos Buttler shuffles across his stumps once more but is completely undone by a very full delivery on leg-stump. Beaten for pace and tangled with his pad, Buttler cannot get his bat down in time as the ball crashes into the leg stump. He departs for a brisk 39 off 19 balls.
Shubman Gill’s explosive innings gets over. On the last ball of the 5th over, Bhuvneshwar Kumar strikes as Gill steps down the track and drills a length delivery straight to cover, Virat Kohli takes a sharp reverse-cup catch near his neck, flings the ball into the turf and mouths “come on” straight at Gill. The GT skipper walks off disappointed, head back, after a fiery 43 off just 18 balls. Big breakthrough for RCB.
RCB have their first breakthrough in the 3rd over. Sai Sudharsan is caught by Jitesh Sharma off Bhuvneshwar Kumar for 6(5). Gujarat Titans lose their opening partner but remain well-poised in the powerplay thanks to Gill’s explosive start.
Shubman Gill tears into RCB’s attack in thunderous fashion! The GT skipper smashes a dazzling 35 off just 10 balls, taking 12 runs off Bhuvneshwar Kumar (including a stunning six over extra-cover) and plundering 24 off Josh Hazlewood with two sixes and two fours. Gujarat Titans are flying at 36/0 after two overs, with Sai Sudharsan on 1. What a start!
RCB all out for 155. Two wickets in the final over by Arshad Khan, including a run out, restricts RCB below 160. Gujarat Titans need 156 runs to win.
OUTTT!!! Romario Shepherd, after hitting Rashid Khan for two sixes in the last overs, goes for the biggie and hits straight at the hands of Sai Sudharan. Meanwhile, RCB have brought Venkatesh Iyer as an impact sub, replacing Jacob Bethell. RCB 130/8 (14.3)
HUGEEEE!!! Thats huge from Romario Shepherd. The West Indies all-rounder is on the counter attack with two back-to-back huge maximums off Rashid Khan. After hitting the first one over the bowler's head, Shepherd goes over deep mid-wicket. OUTTT!!! Another wicket goes down for RCB. Devdutt Padikkal plays on for 40 as Rashid breaks the stand. RCB 126/7 (14)
OUTTT!!! Jason Holder is everywhere tonight. Krunal Pandya flicks and the ball straught goes at the hands of Jason Holder. Arshad Khan strikes for the second time tonight. RCB 97/6 (11)
OUTTTT!!!!!! Another wicket goes down for RCB and it's the big burly Tim David. Rashid Khan strikes in his first over as RCB lose three wickets in the last 13 balls for only 12 runs. David whips hard but Jason Holder takes a sharp catch. The whole GT dugout is jumping in celebration. RCB 91/5 (10)
What a turnaround for Gujarat Titans. After Jason Holder evade a collision with Kagiso Rabada to take a catch off Rajat Patidar, the West Indies all-rounder strikes with his first ball, as Jitesh Sharma edges behind. Two wickets in two overs for Gujarat Titans. Tim David comes to bat. RCB 89/4 (9)
OUTTT!!! That's smart play from Kagiso Rabada. After being hit for five consecutive fours in the previous over by Virat Kohli, the South African plots the downfall of former RCB skipper with a perfect short ball. Kohli dances down the track for a pull shot, gets a top edge only for Rashid Khan to take a brilliant catch. Kohli goes back for 28. Rajat Patidar walks in. RCB 39-2 (4)
OUTTTT!!!!! Mohammed Siraj strikes as Gujarat Titans take a breather. Jacob Bethell hits straight at the hands of Rashid Khan for just five runs. Devdutt Padikkal walks in. RCB 34-1 (2.4)
SUBLIMEE!!! What a start by Virat Kohli and RCB. After a quiet first over from Mohammed Siraj, Kohli goes into his business straightaway with five consecutive boundaries off Kagiso Rabada. Jacob Bethell, at the other end, has the best seat in the house.
RCB 27-0 (2.1)
