RCB slide into further trouble. Romario Shepherd makes his way out to the middle.

Arshad Khan to Krunal Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? The ball's gone straight to Jason Holder yet again. Arshad Khan goes back to attacking the stumps and slants the ball in towards middle and leg. Krunal Pandya hops across to the off side, just a touch and clips it away. He does so uppishly and straight to short mid-wicket, where Holder takes another sharp catch. RCB are haemorrhaging wickets at the moment.

Arshad Khan to Krunal Pandya, FOUR! Nicely done. Back of a length, a tad too wide outside off. Krunal Pandya hangs back and waits for it before cutting it through the gully region for a boundary.

Rashid Khan to Krunal Pandya, Turning into the pads, full in length, Pandya lunges but is beaten on the inside edge and wears it on the front pad outside the line of the leg pole.

Jason Holder seems to be making this 'coliseum of cricket' his own right now. Krunal Pandya is the new batter in for RCB.

Rashid Khan to Tim David, OUT! CAUGHT! A sharp grab. The towering figure of Jason Holder is at it again. Floated up by Rashid, it is the googly, on off and middle. David plants his front foot towards the pitch of the ball and swings hard at it. The bat turns in his hand and the ball comes off the inner half. Holder is in really tight at a catching mid-wicket position and he gets both hands together to his right to snaffle it at chest height. 12/3 in the last 13 balls. RCB are 91/5 now.

Rashid Khan to Devdutt Padikkal, Dropped short and this is slower, on off. Devdutt presses back and drags the pull to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Rashid Khan to Tim David, A bit too full, on off, David drills it to long off for one.

Rashid Khan is now introduced into the attack.

Rashid Khan to Tim David, Uppish but safe! Pushed through, not all that short, outside off. David stays leg side and flashes at the ball. It goes off a thickish outside edge to backward point, where Siraj gathers it on the bounce.

Jason Holder to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jitesh Sharma's slim run of form continues in the 2026 IPL. Jason Holder shaves a few clicks off the delivery and bowls it a tad fuller and outside off. Sharma goes for the drive but plays well away from the body and the outside edge is found. Jos Buttler springs to his right and takes a fine catch behind the stumps. RCB are 80/4 now.

Not quite sure why, but the fourth umpire is trying to explain why Patidar was given out to Andy Flower and also Virat Kohli. Anyway, Jason Holder to continue his spell...

Arshad Khan to Jitesh Sharma, Back of a length this time, pitching it on middle and shaping it away. Jitesh Sharma rocks back and opens the face of the bat to push it to point. Single taken. Jitesh Sharma is off the mark!

Arshad Khan to Jitesh Sharma, Fuller, just outside off, Jitesh Sharma lunges and dabs it to cover.

Jitesh Sharma now walks out to bat at number 5. RCB head coach, Andy Flower, is still seen having a word with the fourth umpire.

Has Jason Holder taken the catch? It looked like Holder and Rabada actually got in each other's way, but Holder is running away in celebration. The third umpire is having a look at it. The catch seems fair, but has the ball slid onto the turf while Holder tried to stick the landing? The RCB dug-out doesn't seem happy but the third umpire has given it OUT.

Arshad Khan to Rajat Patidar, OUT! CAUGHT! A catch that will be talked about for days to come. RCB are not happy at all with the decision, but they will have to get on with it. A massive moment in the game. Arshad hurls it on a hard length, over middle, Patidar gets on his toes for the pull and plays more of a jab, rather than going for the pull with a complete horizontal face of the bat. It is skied off a top edge over short fine leg, Kagiso Rabada turns around and goes after it. The tall Jason Holder also converges by getting around to his right in the deep. Holder spots Rabada towards him, but he commits to the catch and gets his hands out in front to grab the ball low on the slide. Patidar is asked to wait as the third umpire checks the legality of the catch. The replays do show that the ball, whilst being in Holder's left hand on the slide, was rubbing against the turf, but the third umpire felt that Holder was in control of his body, and it is deemed a fair catch.

Arshad Khan to Rajat Patidar, A well-directed bumper at 140.1 kph, over the left shoulder. Rajat Patidar ducks under it.

Arshad Khan to Rajat Patidar, Around the pads, on a back of a length. Rajat nudges it in the vacant mid-wicket region. He takes the first one hard and comes charging back for the second.

Arshad Khan to Rajat Patidar, SIX! Patidar welcomes his state teammate with a biggie. Arshad goes short first up but fails to get it high enough to trouble the batter. It comes around the waist, and Rajat nails the pull over mid-wicket for a six.

Arshad Khan comes in to replace Kagiso Rabada.

Jason Holder to Rajat Patidar, Pitches it up, on middle, Rajat Patidar nudges it down to long on for a single. 

Jason Holder to Devdutt Padikkal, Full-length delivery, just outside the leg stump. Devdutt Padikkal skips down the track and flicks it toward deep square leg for a comfortable single.

Jason Holder to Rajat Patidar, On a length, outside off, Rajat Patidar hangs back and steers it to short third for a single.

Jason Holder to Devdutt Padikkal, Over middle and the length is dragged back, DDP goes deep in the crease and guides it through third man for a single.

Jason Holder to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! More runs from the bat of Padikkal! Back of a length once again, outside off, Devdutt Padikkal stands tall and slaps to the left of deep point this time for four more.

Jason Holder to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Padikkal gives a warm greeting to Holder! Back of a length, angling it away from the left-hander. Devdutt Padikkal frees his arms and crunches it to the right of deep point for a boundary.

STRATEGIC BREAK! A very well-contested first 6 overs of the game, and for now, neither team will feel that they are out in front. GT do have a couple of wickets to their name and have kept the scoring rate to just under 10 runs an over, but only have a couple of overs of Siraj and Rabada left now. RCB, on the other hand, will rely on the duo of Padikkal and Patidar to come good in the middle overs as their middle order hasn't faced too many deliveries, and they wouldn't want to expose them with plenty of overs to spare. An interesting phase of play is coming up. Also, Jason Holder comes on to bowl right after the break.

Kagiso Rabada to Devdutt Padikkal, At the hips, on the shorter side. DDP gets on his toes and nurdles it square on the leg side for a single. End of an eventful Powerplay. After 6 overs, RCB are 59/2.

Kagiso Rabada to Rajat Patidar, At 149.4 kph, on top of off, Patidar goes deep in the crease and guides it through point for a single.

Kagiso Rabada to Rajat Patidar, Keeps it nice and tight, on a short of a length, on off. Rajat stabs it down on the off side.

Kagiso Rabada to Rajat Patidar, Off the edge. Fuller and on off, Patidar pushes out in front. It goes off the outer half to short third.

Kagiso Rabada to Rajat Patidar, FOUR! A lucky escape for the RCB skipper. Rabada goes into the surface, over middle. Patidar gets into an awkward position as he takes his eyes off the ball. He tries to fend it off and the ball goes off a top edge over short third. Mohammed Siraj sprints to his left in the deep and flings himself at the ball, but it drops out of his reach and trickles into the fence.
