RCB's batting was simply lacklustre today. A lot was needed from the likes of Brendon McCullum, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers but none of them were able to deliver.

McCullum began well with a boundary but was soon dismissed by Lungi Ngidi for just 5 thanks to an overhead catch from Shardul Thakur at mid-on. RCB captain Virat Kohli also hit a boundary but he was bowled for 8 thanks to a crafty delivery from Ravindra Jadeja who knocked out Kohli's off-stump.

AB de Villiers was in the playing XI today after missing RCB's previous two games due to viral infection. However, he could score only 1 as he was dismissed by Harbhajan Singh thanks to a quick stumping from MS Dhoni.
