#2 All seam attack by RCB in the power play overs

Ad

Kohli won the toss and put the hosts into bat. The Punjab openers were in form and RCB were aware of that. Gayle and Rahul gave Punjab a solid start and raced to 36 inside 5 overs. Kohli could have turned to spin but he persisted with his seam bowlers and that worked brilliantly for the visitors.

Umesh Yadav bounced out Rahul and followed it up with a similar delivery to Gayle, who found the fielder in the deep. Siraj bowled the sixth and final over of the powerplay and picked up Nair’s wicket to dent Punjab's innings even further. At the end of the powerplay overs, Punjab's score read 47 for 3 as RCB came back strongly.
