RCB pull off an incredible late heist over SRH

What a turnaround this by Virat Kohli & Co. Incredible stuff from his bowlers. SRH have a lot of introspection coming up. They ended up losing seven for the last 29 runs while at one stage they needed 35 off 24. After KKR last night, SRH have suffered quite a batting collapse. David Warner, understandably, is not happy with the approach from his middle-order particularly against Shahbaz Ahmed's left-arm spin.

What a start to this season for RCB though. They overcame a collapse of their own thanks to AB de Villiers and won, and now they've triggered one today. Harshal Patel carried forward from where he left off in the first game to pick two more wickets and bowl a good final over under pressure despite Rashid Khan's best efforts. More importantly though, this turnaround belongs to Kyle Jamieson who dismissed Warner to ruffle feathers in the SRH camp and then to Shahbaz Ahmed, who ran through SRH's middle-order. RCB go two in two with this!

Shahbaz Ahmed, you beauty!

Now that's a turn-and-a-half of the tables here! Shahbaz Ahmed has dismissed Jonny Bairstow, Manish Pandey and Abdul Samad in a single over to throw SRH's chase off the rails. What a difference Warner's exit has made here. W W 0 1 0 W in the 17th over leaves SRH needing 34 off the last 18 balls.

SRH need 35 off 24...

So which way is this game going? Warner's wicket has given new life to RCB. They've closed in since that dismissal and the onus is now on this pair to not let the asking rate climb further. Kohli is smartly sticking to his left-arm spinner when the ball is turning a lot and creating problems.

Jamieson dents SRH

Just when you thought Warner had this in the bag, change of pace from Kyle Jamieson does the SRH captain in. Good move from Virat Kohli to bring back the tall pacer in the 14th over as SRH were closing in on the chase. Can RCB pull off a late heist here?

FIfty for David Warner

This has been the perfect game for SRH... so far. After the bowlers did well, the SRH captain has led the way with the bat like he does so many times. SRH will want him to stay on and take them over the line here.

Warner, Manish Pandey steer SRH

The trouble early on didn't last long for SRH. Warner and Manish Pandey have settled in and put SRH on course here. Kyle Jamieson began well but was tonked around in his second over. There's no real urgency to take risks so the two batsmen are comfortably turning over the strike and slowly gnawing away at the target here. It must be said there's still a lot of turn on offer so one good over from Chahal can still turn this game on its head.

Here's a match-up to watch out for...

Samad seems to be a fan favourite already...

SRH lose Saha early

Siraj has been steaming in and has now got the reward. He bowled a fabulous first over to Saha and in his second, got the opener to play one straight to Maxwell at backward point. Good start this from RCB.

RCB finish with 149/8...

...thanks mainly to a fine 59 from Glenn Maxwell. None of the other RCB batsmen were convincing tonight. Virat Kohli started alright but fell right when you thought he was ready to shift gears. None of the others could make much of an impact. This was the kind of Chepauk wicket that SRH would've loved in their season opener too. Rashid Khan finished with 2 for 18 and Jason Holder was effective too, with three wickets to his name. The rest of the bowlers picked a wicket each. 149 could still be a competitive total here but SRH should fancy their chances and follow up on their solid bowling performance.

FIFTY for Maxwell!

Fairplay to the Aussie. He's overcome his dreadful last season to make a bright start for RCB here. Cynics felt RCB wasted their precious money on him but he's delivering so far with the bat. He's been the only batsman capable of putting up a fight tonight.

Daniel Christian is gone

Top-drawer death bowling from Natarajan. He knows Daniel Christian can tonk a few so he goes full and wide with the left-armer's angle across. Christian reaches out and toe-pokes the ball to Saha behind the stumps. The umpire took his time but eventually raised his finger to leave RCB six down.

Five down!

Rashid gets his second! Washington Sundar had no choice but to try to chance his arms. And his shot gets the elevation but not quite the distance. Manish Pandey put in a sprint from long off and took a very good diving catch.

RCB in deep trouble here...

First, Virat Kohli miscued a pull shot off Jason Holder and had to walk back as Vijay Shankar took a fantastic catch at fine leg - running forward, keeping his eyes transfixed on the ball and pouching it safely.

AB de Villiers joined Glenn Maxwell with another rescue act to pull off but Rashid Khan rocked those plans. It wasn't Rashid's best delivery - short and turning away from the South African, who looked to slap it through the offside. But he ended up finding Warner at short cover. RCB are down to 96 for 4 in 14 overs.

6 4 6 1 4 1

That's one way to get a move on, and ruin Shahbaz Nadeem's excellent bowling figures until that point. He went from 1 for 14 in 3 overs to 1 for 36 in 4 overs. Maxwell did most of the onslaught, carting sixes through midwicket and a four on the offside while Kohli went down the ground.

RCB: 63/2 in 10 overs

It's been slow-goings today. Exactly how SRH would've wanted this Chepauk pitch to behave. Shahbaz Nadeem has got the ball to turn appreciably and Virat Kohli had stayed on but hardly been able to cut loose. RCB need Maxwell to do something special to break away from the rut here...

Rashid Khan watch

Rashid v Kohli: Balls 19 | Runs 18 | Wickets 1
Rashid v Maxwell: Balls 15 | Runs 5 | Wickets

There goes that #3 experiment...

Shahbaz Ahmed is gone. His namesake Nadeem lures him out of his crease for a big shot, but the ball goes only as far as Rashid Khan at deep square leg, who doesn't miss catches.

WICKET: Bhuvneshwar strikes!

The SRH pacer brings all his experience to the fore here. Devdutt Padikkal was comfortably playing his shots off fuller deliveries so Bhuvneshwar pushed his lengths back and tied the left-hander to the crease. In a bid to break the shackles, Padikkal tried to pull a length ball without much footwork and ends up hitting towards midwicket. A sharp catch from Shahbaz Nadeem sends him packing.

Good to see Devdutt Padikkal return after a brief bout with coronavirus. He was sensational in his debut season in 2020, raking up the most runs for RCB. Here's his fascinating story.

STAT: Virat Kohli has managed 58 runs in 55 balls in his last six outings against SRH

A couple of interesting picks from both sides. RCB opting to play Shahbaz Ahmed over Rajat Patidar was unexpected. Furthermore, Kohli confirmed that Shahbaz will bat at No.3. The use of a biffer in the top-three is an interesting pick. SRH have put Sandeep Sharma on the bench after his listless start against KKR, but this is a pacer who has dismissed Kohli seven times in IPL and has a good record against RCB overall - with 23 wickets in 15 games. The absence of swing could've swayed SRH towards making this call. Interesting to see how Jason Holder works out for them with the ball.

TOSS:SRH opt to bowl. Sandeep Sharma and Mohammad Nabi make way for Shahbaz Nadeem and Jason Holder. RCB bring back Devdutt Padikkal for Rajat Patidar. Kohli confirms Shahbaz Ahmed will bat at No.3.

Head to head and venue stats...

In head-to-head battles, SRH seem to hold the edge [10 wins in 17 games] but the venue isn't great news for them. They've played four games at Chepauk, losing all of those games. RCB's record there isn't very bright either - 3 wins in 10 matches.

How have they started...

RCB come into this game having eked out a narrow win over five-time champions, thanks to the absolute genius of AB de Villiers. It was a chase worth cruising through but a typical wobble left them with tense faces in the dugout until de Villiers put a smile on them. RCB

SRH began rather ordinarily. KKR batsmen chose their battles wisely and flipped the narrative on Chepauk offering low-scoring games. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Sandeep Sharma conceded 80 runs in the seven overs between them, while Natarajan too made a shaky start. Rashid Khan began at his absolute best, as it was expected of him at this venue.

Prelude: RCB-v-SRH - a rivalry worth noticing?

Based on what's happened in the recent seasons, it's fair to say there's something brewing there. If you look closely, there's an ideological clash - RCB come strutting with their glamourous (strictly, in cricketing sense) top-heavy game; SRH lean back on their bowlers for magic [with no disrespect to David Warner - perhaps the best batsman in the league].

The Hyderabad franchise have the edge in head-to-head battles, and have left far bigger scars on their opposition beyond just the number advantage. Just last season, SRH ended RCB's promising season at the Eliminator. How you ask? With an incredible bowling performance. The biggest dent in this fixture came in the 2016 season final when it appeared that RCB's date with destiny (and title win) was written in the stars. Only for SRH to nick it away in their best season ever, to leave Kohli - the man with a jaw-dropping series tally of 973 runs - with the runners' up medal.

What's also contrasting is what these two teams have managed in the last few seasons. RCB have been the embodiment of a rollercoaster - look scarily good and capable of demolishing oppositions on one day, and incredibly inept on another. The topsy-turvy form graph matches with their tournament fate as well, as they've finished runners-up, eighth, sixth, eighth and fourth since 2016. SRH on the otherhand have managed an understated sense of consistency - making the playoffs in every season since 2016, making the final twice and winning the trophy once.
