Pitch Report

Germanos says, "We're on pitch number 5. There's a slight bias on the one side; 61m on the on-side, 66m on the off-side. But, 74m down the ground which is the longer side". Katich thinks, "There's plenty of wind and the dew. Teams generally like to chase. When you look at the surface, it's rock hard and generally don't expect a lot of spin. It's a high scoring ground. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult felt tough on this. But, the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood should make the difference"

Commentary

Phew! What a rollercoaster of a match it was. We hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. With this result, RCB have now leapfrogged PBKS in the points table. Though the former have played one game less and will have the opportunity to get back in the top three by beating CSK in their clash tomorrow. That match will be played in the evening. Before that we will see defending champions KKR take on LSG at the Eden Gardens. Our coverage will start at 2:30 PM IST. Do join us then. For now, it is the commentary duo of Darpan and Pradeep signing off. Sayonara!

Rajat Patidar (Player of the Match, RCB captain): "That was a really amazing match. It was hard, but the way the bowlers showed courage, it was amazing. The credit goes to the entire bowling unit. Not easy to stop a team on this ground. The way Krunal Panday bowled the final over was amazing. The way he showed courage was fantastic. We wanted to take the game as deep as we can. The wicket was really amazing to bat, typical Mumbai wicket. The ball was coming nicely onto the bat. After the over of Hardik Pandya, I decided I had to go all out from here. I was not worrying about getting out. In this format, wrist spinners are wicket-taking bowlers. Suyash bowled beautifully from the shorter end."

Krunal Pandya [Royal Challengers Bengaluru]: "The bond what we have, we knew one Pandya was supposed to win today. Obviously the love and affection is there for each other is natural, he batted well. I wanted to win, he also wanted to win, I feel for him. When I came on to bowl, when Santner was batting, the leg-side was shorter. The amount of games I've played, this is my tenth IPL season and had to bring my experience to play. Sometimes you have to commit, you have to 100%, the execution to be on your side, I was clear with the execution. It's been fun, Andy and we were out there in LSG for two years, it was a great run. good to know from personal space, the way we were going as a team, played four and won three, we're in a good space. First Rajat has been terrific, again, the captain who backs you is someone does well. Rajat is calm and demeanor, doesn't complicate things. Jitesh has been terrific, he's improved and the game awareness is top notch, worked really hard. With gloves he's brilliant always, it feels good to see. Don't want to jinx it, don't want to say it. When you get into this tournament, you know what you want, I just don't want to say it."

Hardik Pandya [Mumbai Indians captain]: "It was a runfest, the wicket was really good. I was just talking about that to myself, again we fell short, I don't have much to say. I think the way the wicket was, the bowlers didn't really have much to hide. If you had executed your plans, you could've stopped the batters. Not being harsh on the bowlers, but it was 10 or 12 above par. Original skeleton of our team, Naman was always batting down the order, someone like him who has multi dimensional, came up and can do the job. Once Ro was back, Naman had to go down lower. Tilak was fantastic, people made a lot about the last game, but it was a tactical call, he had got hit and we took the decision for someone can come in and hit. In this sort of games, powerplays are crucial, we were a little back in the chase during that time. They executed well in those phases. Happy for Jasprit to be back, having him it's really special and he did his job splendidly well. In life never back down, always see the positive side of it, go out there and try to play the best cricket of your life, back yourself."

The Wankhede Stadium reverberates with the chants of "RCB! RCB!". The celebrations are infectious. Contrasting expressions on the faces of the Mumbai Indians players.

The highly anticipated clash lived up to its billing. It wasn't a mere cricket match, but a rollercoaster of emotions that kept us hooked right till the very end. Eventually, RCB come out on top to secure their first victory over MI at the Wankhede in 10 years. For the large part, they were ahead in the game. But a whirlwind 30-ball-82 run partnership had tipped the scale in the home team's favour. It was between two men, who had a point to prove — Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya. Both came together at a time when the climb appeared daunting but they took the chase by the scruff of the neck. Tilak's ball striking was clean, amalgamated with some clever dinks and vigorous running between the wickets. On the other end, the MI skipper made our jaws drop to the floor with his sensational hits on his way to a 15-ball-42. Not to forget that includes back to back sixes off his own brother's bowling. Alas, the two could, however, not get their sides over the line. Mumbai Indians go ahead with a few question marks over their top order. While, the shot-making up top was iridescent, none of those batters could convert their starts into big scores.

On the other hand, credit must go to RCB's bowlers too, who held their nerves in pressure situations. None better than Krunal Pandya, who came back to bowl the final over after being hit for a few in his previous one and having copped up boos from the crowd. Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar too put their experience on display and delivered effective overs at the death. Yash Dayal, who picked up the important wickets of Suryakumar and Rohit, had an important part to play too and while, Suyash Sharma might not have any wickets to show, his ability to bowl to the field was crucial in the middle overs.

Earlier, four sparkling knocks set up the big total for RCB. The first was came off the bat of Virat Kohli. The veteran muscled the ball to pick up his first couple of boundaries. But it wasn't long before he started to find his timing too. In his 42-ball-67, he send the ball beyond the fence 10 times, mostly in delectable fashion. Now, it is not very often that we say that Kohli's innings was overshadowed, but that 64-run (off 32 balls) blitzkrieg from the RCB skipper made a strong case for it. Rajat Patidar's intent was bold, ball-striking was clean and the connections were sweet for most part. While these two set the foundation, lets also not forget two effervescent cameos which were just as important. Padikkal's 22-ball-37 and Jitesh's 19-ball-40 might not steal headlines, but were enthralling to watch.

Most Mumbai Indians bowlers took a beating. But the man making a comeback – Jasprit Bumrah — stood tall. It was almost like he had never left. He might not have a wicket to show, but the fact that he only conceded two boundaries in his four overs tells you about his effectiveness. RCB played him well too. After Kohli smacked him for a six off the second ball he bowled, they did not take any untoward risks against him. Hardik Pandya was impressive for the large part too, but was taken for 23 runs off his final over.

19.6 Krunal Pandya to Jasprit Bumrah, THAT'S IT! RCB snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! In a game that looked gone, Royal Challengers Bengaluru pulled off a stunning turnaround to leave the Wankhede stunned and MI fans heartbroken. Talk about a heist under lights! Krunal tosses it up generously on a length on leg-stump, Bumrah too early into the slog sweep and misses, pings on the thigh pad. Sigh of a relief for the RCB fans as they get back to winning ways!

Jasprit Bumrah is the last batter.

That should seal it. Krunal lets out a shriek of joy. Glum faces in the MI dugout.
