But do join us in advance for all the buildup. Until then, take care, cheers!

RR edge GT out in their own backyard - The Rajasthan Royals maintain their unbeaten run with two wins in as many games and go top of the table, dethroning the Capitals. They now head to Guwahati, to host the Mumbai Indians on Tuesday, April 7th. As for Gujarat Titans, they will need to lift themselves up from back-to-back defeats and will aim to open their account in their next assignment. They travel to the national capital to face the Delhi Capitals on Wednesday, 8th April. Both the games are scheduled for a 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) start.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - ​​​​​RR's Ravi Bishnoi gets the award along with the Purple Cap for his exceptional bowling spell of 4/41. On being asked about his preparations heading into this season, he reflects on a difficult year gone by, one that tested him but never broke him. He says that he stuck to his strengths, and kept trusting his process and leaned on his length as his primary weapon. Mentions that domestic cricket kept him sharp, and a couple of series with the national side added to his confidence heading into the IPL. On the mental, physical and technical adjustments he had to make, Bishnoi says a lot of effort goes into the amount of bowling he does, whether before a match, during the domestic season, or in the off-season. On his favourite wicket from the four he picked up, Bishnoi says he enjoyed all four but singles out Rahul Tewatia's dismissal as particularly pleasing, noting that Rahul is considered a master of such situations. On the importance of his performance, Bishnoi is quick to shift focus to the team, saying what matters is that RR won. He also credits Tushar Deshpande for an excellent final over and Jofra Archer for bowling a brilliant 19th, calling it a collective effort.

The victorious captain of Rajasthan Royals - Riyan Parag says that the last two overs were outstanding and he is really happy that the plan to go full and fast at the death worked out. Mentions that actually it was Tushar Deshpande, who was going to bowl the 19th over and Jofra Archer the 20th, but credits Dhruv Jurel, who told him to switch up the order. Further adds that Jurel has been fantastic at number 3, and hopefully, he is someone who can play a big role and win them the title. Ends by saying that they are pumped up and looking forward to the next game in Guwahati.

... Time for the post-match Presentation ...

A quick word from Jofra Archer - On being asked about the stunning catch to dismiss Rashid Khan in the final over, Archer admits that he had written it off the moment it left the bat. Explains that the trajectory suggested it was a six, but adds that he just ran and hoped for the best and kept going. Says that somehow it stuck. He feels proud of the way the fielding unit stepped up nicely, noting that everything that could have gone right in the field did go right. On the bowling changes, Archer reveals that there was a last-minute reshuffle. Shares that Deshpande was originally set to bowl the 19th over, with him taking the last, but adds that Riyan Parag had a change of heart. Archer stresses the importance of reading the game as it unfolds, noting that what works in the nets does not always translate to match day. Adaptability, he says, is everything. Shares that the slower balls were not gripping or staying in, which forced them to adjust their plans and go predominantly pace-on through the back end of the innings.

The stand-in captain of Gujarat Titans - Rashid Khan says that they bowled well to restrict the opposition to 210 runs. Also mentions that they started really well with the bat, but those back-to-back wickets after the 10th over took away all the momentum from them. Adds that on a wicket like this, getting 9 or 10 runs an over is not a big deal and it was just about those clusters of wickets in a short span of time that cost them. On the middle order woes, Rashid says that everyone has their own process and they try to learn from their mistakes and come back stronger in the next game. On the final over, Rashid says that the conversation with Kagiso Rabada was to try and get just one boundary to take the pressure off but credits Tushar Deshpande for the way he bowled and feels that he bowled just one bad ball, which Rashid feels he himself should have put away.

The Royals posted a mountain - It was just another game where 200 was breached. The moment Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi settled in together, the question was never whether RR would get to 200. It was always by how much. Sooryavanshi was more measured than usual but kept the innings ticking, giving Jaiswal the platform he thrives on. The left-hander duly brought up his fifty and looked every bit in control. Jurel was slow to get going but found his timing when it mattered most, adding a fifty of his own to put the seal on a total that had been building all innings. Gujarat Titans will look back at this with some frustration. Restricting themselves to five bowlers with Siraj going for plenty, put the rest of the attack under unnecessary pressure. Rashid was sharper than his last outing, Rabada offered resistance, but it was Ashok who stood out, consistently with express pace.

Lower order kept GT alive - Dead and buried. That was Gujarat Titans' situation at one stage, with Buttler and Tewatia both back in the hut and the chase slipping away fast. But Rabada and Rashid had other ideas. Rashid's power hitting is no secret, but Rabada matched him blow for blow, muscling a few into the stands with equal conviction. Together, they put on 43 crucial runs and dragged GT back from the ashes. But couldn't land the knockout punch. Eleven needed off the last over, and Deshpande stood at the top of his mark and delivered one of the finest overs of his career. Yorker after yorker, he kept GT agonisingly so close yet so far from the win.

A denting collapse in the middle phase - As dominating the start was for GT in the initial ten overs, it all fell apart after that. Sudharsan's dismissal was the trigger and GT's middle order, fragile at the best of times, had no response. Bishnoi tore through them with ruthless efficiency, reducing GT from 107/1 to 155/6 in what felt like the blink of an eye. The platform that had been so carefully built was reduced to rubble in the space of a few overs.

Quick out of the blocks - No Gill, no problem. Sudharsan took one look at the situation and decided it was his evening to step up. From the first over he was at it, making the powerplay count in the way only the best top-order batters can. Loose deliveries were put away without hesitation. Kumar Kushagra, the new opening partner, read the situation well, held his end up, which allowed the freedom for Sudharsan to take the game on. Kushagra eventually fell, but GT were in a commanding position with 103/1 on the board and Sudharsan smashing a free-flowing half century.

An IPL classic in Ahmedabad - Tushar Deshpande upholds the trust shown in him by the skipper. Entrusted with the final over under immense pressure, he was inch-perfect from start to finish. He is off for a celebratory run and is over the moon, and rightly so. GT are crestfallen and will have to lift themselves up from a defeat that will be a bit too bitter to swallow.

Tushar Deshpande to Ashok Sharma, No run.That's it, it's all over. Tushar Deshpande has done it, Rajasthan Royals win by 6 runs. Tushar Deshpande runs away in celebration and what a last couple of overs these have been from him and Jofra Archer. A total of 8 runs conceded in the last 2 overs. Coming to the delivery, this is bowled full and straight, ends up being a low full toss, actually. Ashok Sharma gets low and has a swipe across the line but only manages an inside edge onto the pads.

Excellent by the bowler, even better from Archer, the fielder. Ashok Sharma comes out to face the last ball as GT need 7 runs.

Tushar Deshpande to Rashid Khan, OUT! c Jofra Archer b Tushar Deshpande.OUT! CAUGHT! A fine catch under pressure from Jofra Archer and you can see the delight on the RR's skipper's face. Riyan Parag is absolutely pumped. Tushar Deshpande goes full and wide. Rashid Khan extends his arms and reaches for it, forcing the lofted shot wide of deep backward point. Rashid just doesn't get enough power on it but Archer covers plenty of ground to his right and slides across to cling onto the ball with both hands. A 6 to send up into a Super Over as RR now need 7 runs off one ball.

Tushar Deshpande to Rashid Khan, No run.Trying to be a bit too cute. Full-pitched delivery, wide outside off, Khan walks across and tries to lap it over fine leg but ends up nutmegging himself.

Tushar Deshpande to Kagiso Rabada, 1 run.Just one more. Another yorker, angled across off, Kagiso Rabada toe-ends it back down the pitch. Tushar does well to dive to his right in his follow-through and get a hand on it. Only another single. 7 needed off 3 balls.

Tushar Deshpande to Rashid Khan, 1 run.On the money is Tushar Deshpande. A corker of a yorker, just outside off, Rashid Khan manages to open the bat face and squeeze it down to deep third for a single.

Tushar Deshpande to Kagiso Rabada, 1 run.Hard length outside off, hit away through covers for just a single.

Tushar Deshpande to Kagiso Rabada, Wide!WIDE! Full and well wide of the off stump line. Rabada swings and misses. 10 needed off 6 now.

Last over coming up. Tighten your seatbelts, folks. All results are very much possible. Tushar Deshpande (2-0-20-0) to wrap up. Interesting decision to go with Tushar with Burger still having an over left in his spell. Can he do the job for his side? Let's see...

Jofra Archer to Kagiso Rabada, Bye.Gets away with it, does Archer but what a fine over otherwise from him, just 4 runs off it. A high and wide full toss, Kagiso Rabada reaches out to carve it away but misses. The keeper fumbles and the batters pinch a bye. There's also a review for a possible no-ball. The third umpire checks the replays and finds that it is below the waist-height and it stays a legal ball.

Is that a no ball? Kagiso Rabada feels it has passed above waist height and opts for a review. Is it dipping? Is it high enough? The Ball Tracking with the graphics confirms that it is slightly below the waist height. Fair delivery, it is.

Jofra Archer to Kagiso Rabada, No run.Good length, attacking the stumps, KG only manages to hit it back to the bowler. Archer makes a half stop but it remains a dot ball.

Jofra Archer to Rashid Khan, 1 run.NOT OUT! Rashid Khan knew it straightaway and wasn't fazed at all with the review. Jofra Archer goes full and quick, aiming the ball at the stumps. Khan looks to stay back and play a whip over the leg side but misses. The ball thuds into the pads and rolls to short fine leg for a single. Archer's appeal for LBW is turned down but he seems certain that this is Out. Riyan Parag sends it upstairs but UltraEdge quickly confirms the presence of the inside edge, and the on-field decision stands.

A review taken for LBW by the Royals, challenging the on-field decision of not out. UltraEdge shows a clear spike and the on-field decision is upheld.

Jofra Archer to Kagiso Rabada, 1 run.Back of a length, angled into the batter again. No room for Rabada to work with and he snatches the pull shot towards deep square leg for one. 13 needed off 9 now.

Jofra Archer to Kagiso Rabada, No run.Short ball, right into the body. Rabada tries to back away and get it away with a pull but misses out.

Jofra Archer to Rashid Khan, 1 run.Pitched fuller and around off, at 144.1 kph. Khan takes a couple of steps ahead to swing across the line but gets an inside edge onto the pads. The ball rolls into the off side, and they pick up a single.

What a tight contest this has been in Ahmedabad! GT almost looked dead and buried but Rabada and Rashid have given them a real chance here. Jofra Archer (3-0-35-0) is given the responsibility to bowl the 19th over. Initially, Deshpande had the ball in hand, but the skipper opted to go with a more experienced bowler in Archer for this crucial over.

Sandeep Sharma to Rashid Khan, 1 run.Gets the yorker in this time, does Sandeep Sharma. Just outside off, squeezed away square on the off side for a run. 15 needed off the last 2 overs.

Sandeep Sharma to Rashid Khan, 2 runs.Very full, lands it around leg stump, Rashid jams it down through the backward square leg region. Seems to be an easy brace but Ravindra Jadeja fires in another great throw towards the keeper, and Rashid has to hustle to safety.

Sandeep Sharma to Kagiso Rabada, 1 run.A wide full toss, Rabada backs away a bit and reaches for it, hitting it towards cover for a single.

Sandeep Sharma to Kagiso Rabada, Six!SIX! Kagiso Rabada is playing a blinder right now. Slower ball from around the wicket, but right in the slot around off. KG backs away, frees those arms and whacks it straight down the ground for a huge six. 19 needed off 15 balls.

Sandeep Sharma to Rashid Khan, 1 run.Good length in the channel, pushed away past point for a single by Khan.

Sandeep Sharma to Rashid Khan, Four!FOUR! Oh, this is impressive from the GT lower order. Sharma sees Rashid advancing and spears in a full ball outside off. Rashid adjusts well, halts his charge and squeezes it past short third for a boundary.

Right. 30 needed off the last 18 balls. Very much doable. Sandeep Sharma (2-0-19-0) is back on.

Ravi Bishnoi to Kagiso Rabada, Four!FOUR! Lovely shot. Slightly flighted, fuller as well and on middle and off. Kagiso Rabada leans ahead and lofts it back over the bowler's head for a boundary. Ravi Bishnoi ends with figures of 4-0-41-4.

Ravi Bishnoi to Kagiso Rabada, No run.Flatter again, around off, pushed away towards cover.

Ravi Bishnoi to Kagiso Rabada, No run.A slip in place for the left-hander and Bishnoi immediately goes past the outside edge. The googly, quicker and darting away from off stump. Kagiso Rabada looks to play a late dab but is beaten.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rashid Khan, 1 run.Fuller one, just outside off, Khan leans on and blocks it into the off side, pinching a quick single in the process as well.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rashid Khan, Four!FOUR! This chase is still very much alive. Fired in again by Bishnoi, a tad short and wide, though. Rashid Khan backs away and cuts it behind point for a boundary. 35 needed off 22 balls.

Ravi Bishnoi to Kagiso Rabada, 1 run.Flatter delivery on off, Rabada hops back in the crease and wrists it in front of mid-wicket for one.

STRATEGIC BREAK! So much has changed since the last break. The game has flipped upside down with Rajasthan Royals in total command at the moment. Sudharsan's dismissal was the moment the chase went south. GT's middle order, so often a question mark against this side, was blown away one by one. Ravi Bishnoi has been the wrecker in chief who still has an over left in his spell. For GT, Rashid Khan is the last recognised batter who has the ability to hit the long ball. And Bishnoi will bowl out after the break.

Jofra Archer to Rashid Khan, No run.Oh, Rashid tries something really cheeky here. Hard-length delivery on middle, Rashid stays a bit low and compact and tries to play a no-look whip shot but gets it high on the bat. A bit more bounce and Rashid could have been hit on the grill of the helmet, risky choice of shot.

Jofra Archer to Kagiso Rabada, 1 run.Full toss on off, hit down to mid off for just a single. 40 needed off 25, very much gettable but GT have just 3 wickets in hand.

Jofra Archer to Kagiso Rabada, Six!SIX! Oh, that's a clean strike from KG! Hard length, around the top of off, Kagiso Rabada backs away nice and early and gets a hold of the lofted shot, lifting it over long off for a biggie.

Jofra Archer to Rashid Khan, 1 run.Full toss on middle, darting back in, Rashid stays low and plays it with an open bat face past point for one more.

Jofra Archer to Kagiso Rabada, 1 run.Good hustle from the batters. A yorker on middle stump, at 141.8 kph. Rabada gets his front pad out of the way and digs it in front of mid off for a quick single.

Jofra Archer to Rashid Khan, 1 run.Full-pitched delivery, on off, Rashid Khan hangs deep in the crease and hammers it to deep cover for a single.

Ravi Bishnoi to Kagiso Rabada, No run.Beauty! Fuller googly, starts on middle and spins away outside off. Rabada defends from the crease but hangs his bat inside the line and gets beaten on the outside edge.

The next batter is in. It is Kagiso Rabada, who walks in at number 9 for GT.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rashid Khan, OUT! run out (Ravindra Jadeja / Dhruv Jurel).OUT! SHAHRUKH KHAN IS RUN OUT! It is going downhill for the Titans ever so rapidly now. Full and tossed up outside off, Rashid drills it to sweeper cover. Jadeja moves to his right from deep cover point, stops it cleanly and fires in a flat, quick throw at the striker's end. Shahrukh is called for the third but is caught struggling to get home at the striker's end. Perhaps they did not notice it was Jadeja out there. You simply do not take on that arm. The keeper collects a fairly rocket throw by Jadeja and whips the bails off with Shahrukh out of his crease.

Oh, this looks close. The reaction of the Rajasthan Royals players, especially the keeper, indicates that this might be Out. The third umpire is having a look and replays confirm that Shahrukh Khan is short of his ground at the keeper's end. OUT comes up on the big screen.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rashid Khan, Four!FOUR! Oh, almost a five-for for Bishnoi. How has that missed the stumps? Quicker googly on a hard length outside off, spins back in and skids through. Rashid stays back and tries to cut at it but gets a faint inside edge. It goes just above the leg stump, and beats Jurel to his left to race behind to the fence.

Five wickets down for GT in the space of 4 overs. This also brings in stand-in skipper Rashid Khan to the crease.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rahul Tewatia, OUT! c Dhruv Jurel b Ravi Bishnoi.OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Bishnoi responds strongly with a 4-for and lets out a huge roar. Dishes out a googly outside off, and the over-spin does the trick. Tewatia shapes to cut it behind point but the ball grips and bounces a bit, and kisses the top edge before going into Jurel's gloves. A sharp take by the keeper. Gujarat Titans are 155/6, needing 56 from 33 balls.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rahul Tewatia, Six!SIX! Innovative and mighty effective! Pulls the length slightly back, does Bishnoi. Keeps it on the off-stump line. Rahul Tewatia switches his stance and nails the reverse sweep flatly behind deep backward point for a six.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rahul Tewatia, Four!FOUR! Races away. The one that makes the bowler scratch his head as there was nothing wrong with the ball. A quick googly, on middle and off, full in length. Tewatia tries to flick it against the spin, but gets a thick leading edge and the ball shoots past the vacant first slip for a boundary.

Nandre Burger to Shahrukh Khan, Four!FOUR! Neatly done! A well-directed short ball coming in and around the bodyline. Shahrukh Khan deals with it by arching back. Uses the pace and ramps it over the keeper for a boundary.

Nandre Burger to Shahrukh Khan, No run.Full and with pace taken off, around off. Khan pushes it to the mid off region.

Nandre Burger to Shahrukh Khan, Six!SIX! Wow, what a sound off the bat. Banged in short and around off, just not short enough. Shahrukh Khan swivels back and pummels the pull shot in front of square leg for a biggie.

Nandre Burger to Rahul Tewatia, 1 run.Shorter ball outside off, slower too, dabbed down to extra cover for a single.

Nandre Burger to Shahrukh Khan, 1 run.Good length ball angled in at off and middle. This is clipped towards square leg for a single.

The next batter is Shahrukh Khan, who comes in as the Impact Sub for GT, replacing Prasidh Krishna.

Prasidh Krishna is substituted by Shahrukh KhanPrasidh Krishna is substituted by Shahrukh Khan

Nandre Burger to Jos Buttler, OUT! c Sandeep Sharma b Nandre Burger.OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! This is like a hammer blow on the Titans as they lose the set Buttler. 100th T20 wicket for Nandre Burger. Short and angled in outside off, and it hurries onto Buttler quicker than he expects. Gets big on him too, the angle from around the wicket making it awkward to put away cleanly. Buttler commits to the pull but cannot keep it under control, as the ball goes off the top edge towards deep fine leg and Sandeep dives forward to scoop the ball. 107/1 becomes 133/5 now and things are looking ominous for the hosts as they still need 78 from 41 balls.

Ravi Bishnoi to Jos Buttler, 1 run.An in-angler onto the pads, on a good length, Buttler nudges it through mid-wicket for a single.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rahul Tewatia, 1 run.Short outside off, slapped behind point for a single.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rahul Tewatia, No run.A shade fuller and around off, Tewatia eases it to the point region.

Gujarat Titans seem to have pushed the self-destruct button here. Out walks Rahul Tewatia to bat.

Ravi Bishnoi to Washington Sundar, OUT! c Ravindra Jadeja b Ravi Bishnoi.OUT! CAUGHT! The slide continues for the Titans. Full in length and on the pads, there to be hit and Sundar's eyes light up to go for another big one. He tries to get under it and launch over deep mid-wicket, but the room just is not there. Plinks straight to deep mid-wicket instead. A simple catching practice for Ravindra Jadeja stationed in the deep. 107/1 becomes 131/4 for the Titans in the chase of 211 runs.

Ravi Bishnoi to Washington Sundar, Four!FOUR! A good way to get off the mark! Full ball outside the off stump. Sundar lunges forward and then lofts it aerially over the bowler's head for a boundary.

Two rather quick wickets for Ravi Bishnoi and Gujarat Titans are 3 down. Washington Sundar walks in at number 5.

Ravi Bishnoi to Glenn Phillips, OUT! c Jofra Archer b Ravi Bishnoi.OUT! IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! Bishnoi gets his second and Deep Dasgupta on air mentions that he completes 200 T20 wickets and is the youngest Indian to do so. A flat googly on off, on a length, sliding into the batter. Phillips backs away to muscle it downtown but cannot free his arms as he is cramped for room. Hence, he does not get enough power on the shot to clear the ropes. Chips it tamely towards long on and Archer comes charging in off the boundary, dives forward and takes a fine catch. Gujarat Titans are 127/3, needing 84 off 47 balls.

Tushar Deshpande to Jos Buttler, Four!FOUR! Dismissed out of his presence! A genuine half-tracker outside off. Jos Buttler stands tall and hammers it with a pull shot, between long on and deep mid-wicket for a cracking four.

Tushar Deshpande to Jos Buttler, Four!FOUR! That's top shot, in total control. Touch fuller in length, around the fourth stump. Jos Buttler hits it through the line by pressing forward and lofts it over the extra cover fielder for a boundary. Geez, that has blazed away to the ropes in the blink of an eye.

Tushar Deshpande to Glenn Phillips, 1 run.Slow into the pitch, outside off. Phillips rises with the bounce and cuts it behind square on the off side for a run.

Tushar Deshpande to Jos Buttler, 1 run.Back of a length, on off, Jos Buttler punches it on the rise behind backward point for a single.

Tushar Deshpande to Jos Buttler, Four!FOUR! Helped behind! Full outside off, Buttler moves across the stumps and ramps it nonchalantly over the keeper for a boundary.

Tushar Deshpande to Glenn Phillips, 1 run.A fractionally full ball and this is bunted off the front foot towards point for a single.

Ravi Bishnoi to Jos Buttler, Four!FOUR! Played with finesse! Outside off, on a length, Jos Buttler is quick to pivot on the back foot and cuts it late through backward point for a boundary.

Ravi Bishnoi to Glenn Phillips, 1 run.Dishes out a googly, short on off. Phillips rocks back and knocks it down to long on for a single.

Out goes Sudharsan after a hugely productive knock, putting his team in command. In walks Glenn Phillips at number 4.

Ravi Bishnoi to Sai Sudharsan, OUT! c Tushar Deshpande b Ravi Bishnoi.OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Bishnoi strikes in his first over and gets the big fish. GT are 107/1, chasing 211. Not the best of balls Bishnoi has bowled, but he won't mind getting a wicket. A drag-downer, googly on middle and leg, there to be hit, and Sudharsan knew it. Shapes up for the big swing over deep square leg but could not keep it down, skewing it off the top edge straight to Deshpande at deep backward square leg instead.

Ravi Bishnoi to Sai Sudharsan, No run.Another googly, on a shortish length. A defensive push from Sudharsan to the off side.

Ravi Bishnoi to Jos Buttler, 1 run.Oh, Buttler gets away with it! Darts one on a good length, outside off. Buttler shimmies down the track and tries to slap it through cover, but gets a bottom edge past the keeper for a single.

Ravi Bishnoi to Sai Sudharsan, No ball!A flat googly, short around off, at 91.1 kph. Sai rocks back and whips it to deep mid-wicket for a single. Oh dear! That's a cardinal sin from a spinner. It is not for overstepping, but cutting the return crease. Free Hit coming up.

Ravi Bishnoi to Jos Buttler, 1 run.Starts off with a short ball, on leg. Buttler hangs deep and heaves it over mid on for a single.

At halfway, GT are 103/1, looking in absolute command at the moment. At the same stage, RR were 97/1. The Titans need 108 more runs from 60 balls. And now, it's Ravi Bishnoi's time to roll his arm over.

Nandre Burger to Sai Sudharsan, Four!FOUR! Sudharsan seems to have an answer to every single delivery right now. Another slower bumper, over middle, and around shoulder height. Sai Sudharsan watches it well, bends back and ramps it nicely over the keeper's head for another boundary.

Nandre Burger to Jos Buttler, 1 run.Slower one into the pitch and outside off, Jos Buttler rises up and manages to pull it down through square leg for a single.

Nandre Burger to Jos Buttler, No run.Hard length outside off, played away with an angled bat towards point.

Nandre Burger to Jos Buttler, Four!FOUR! Wow, glorious timing from Buttler. Fuller one around off, Jos Buttler stays back a bit but gets his hands out in front and with a fairly gentle push, he gets it through extra cover for a boundary.

Nandre Burger to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run.Good hustle from the RR skipper. Slower one, back of a length and outside off. Sudharsan toe-ends the slap and gets it wide of mid off. Riyan Parag scampers to his right and dives in to keep it down to a single.

Nandre Burger to Jos Buttler, Leg bye.Back of a length, around leg, Buttler misses the clip and the ball goes off his hips to backward square leg. They pick up a leg bye.

Nandre Burger returns into the attack. Went for 7 runs off his first over. He replaces Riyan Parag.

Ravindra Jadeja to Sai Sudharsan, No run.Quicker delivery around off, Sudharsan backs away and cuts it late, straight to short third. 119 more needed off 66 balls.

Ravindra Jadeja to Sai Sudharsan, Six!SIX! That is a COLOSSAL HIT! Full and around off, there to be hit. Sai Sudharsan goes down on one knee and slog sweeps it handsomely over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

A slight halt in play as one of the zinger bails at the non-striker's end has malfunctioned. It has been replaced now and we are good to go.
