Krunal Pandya to Ishan Kishan, Starts from around the stumps, does Krunal, bowling it fuller and on the leg stump, Ishan Kishan plays it with the spin and works it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Strategic Break! Sunrisers Hyderabad are going at over 10 runs per over, despite losing both the openers. Heinrich Klaasen looks in a dangerous mood, and Ishan Kishan will want to complement him, marching towards a big total here. However, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will know that, after these two, the middle order haven't done much, so a couple of wickets and they will be on top of the game. This is nicely poised at the moment, and we can expect an exciting phase of cricket next. Also, Krunal Pandya to bowl after the break.
