Commentary

En हि

With that we come to the end of an entertaining evening. RCB fans would be happy with the returns overall despite the middle over collapse. Mohammed Siraj coming back into form is perhaps the biggest positive they will take from this game. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have a lot of soul searching to do. They did not start off on the right note and were indeed playing catch up through the night. The collapse in the RCB innings would, in fact, make them think even more about what could have been had they got a few more runs. But we at Sportskeeda only think about how we can get the best to our readers. I hope you enjoyed our coverage of this match. This is Darpan Tikiya signing off on the behalf of Arya Sekhar Chakraborty. Join us back tomorrow for more IPL action.

Mohammed Siraj (Player of the Match): I was not well today and I thought that I might not be able to play today. But I pushed myself and I am very happy with my performance. To be honest, the hard work I have put in practise with the new ball has paid off today. I was not getting to bowl with the new ball in every game. I was thinking of taking rest today. But I didn't and the guy upstairs was on my side. I had imagined today that I would get Saha out caught behind after I woke up and it manifested the exact same way. I was playing Test matches for a long time. So, it was a little bit tough to adjust and I was not hitting my straps, but good to get my rhythm back.

Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain): We have been really good for the last two matches. I think the wicket was a little bit different from the last two games. I think the bowlers were really good in executing the plans. Even with a dropped catch, I am really pleased with the intensity in the field. There have been some really high scores in this tournament. We were trying to bat with the same intent. It was nerve wrecking when I was up there and was hearing, "oh there goes another wicket.. and another wicket". So, some lessons to be learned there.

Faf du Plessis gets the award for hitting the most fours.

Virat Kohli gets the award for hitting the most sixes in the match.

Josh Little gets the award for scoring the most fantasy points.

Faf du Plessis gets the award for having the best strike rate.

The post match presentation is coming up. Stay Tuned.

With that win, RCB climb up to the 7th spot on the points table. Gujarat Titans slip to number 9. Mumbai Indians now are on the wooden spot.

Dinesh Karthik hands over the orange cap to Virat Kohli. Here is what DK has to say: Actually started with a cup of tea. Then I had capachini and then things started happening and I had to pad up. My goodness, you know all my secrets. Yes I did my bit. It's a different sort of pressure. It's different than chasing a big score. The basic cricketing skills comes through. Over a period of time it has been my strengths to find boundaries playing proper cricketing shots. I do think the pitch was good initially to bowl on. Yesterday it rained, there was bit of moisture. Was a good toss to win for us but no matter what the pitch it is, it is quite a task to keep them to a score we did. The way Faf and Virat batted I don't think we could have played those shots if we batted first but it's also there class. I told Swapnil to play for the ball. Then he asked me if sweep was the option and I said if you are trying to play it don't play half hearted and those two sweep shots turned out to be very important.

Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans captain): It all depends on the wicket. First if you see couple of overs you get a good idea and you play according to that. I think 170-180 on this wicket would have been good. How we batted and bowled in the powerplay was the difference. We would have had one extra bowler with us but losing three wickets you have to take some chances and we went with a batter. I think it's very important for us to start from zero. Move on from this game. There are many positives from this game. Learn from this game and keep improving. For us it was all about winning even in this game.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru win by 4 wickets.

Gujarat Titans 147 (19.3 overs)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru 152/6 (13.4 overs)

Faf du Plessis 64 (23) | Yash Dayal 1/21
Shahrukh Khan 37 (24) | Josh Little 4/45

The scoreboard tells you that it was a chase that was completed with 42 balls to spare. But by no means, it was cakewalk. And in all fairness, RCB had only themselves to blame.

Their bowlers did a fine job by restricting the Titans to an under par score. Then, came out Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. The two senior pros were full of intent that manifested in the two sixes that Kohli smoked of Mohit Sharma in the first over itself. Faf seemed to have started off in the 5th gear itself. He raced to a half century within just 18 balls. By the time the powerplay came to fruition, RCB had notched up almost as many runs as GT managed in their first 14 overs.

Then, came a stutter and a half. Out of nowhere, RCB seemed to collapse. They lost 6 wickets for 19 runs within 4 overs. While Josh Little got 4 of them to his name, it was largely due to poor shot selection. They kept on going for big shots and kept on finding fielders with utmost precision.

In the end, it was the pair of Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh that brought some sanity to the run chase and ultimately took them home.

Smacked down the ground and Chinnaswamy erupts! RCB get over the line, albeit in a very nervy fashion. Plenty of drama but Swapnil Singh and Dinesh Karthik see them through.

13.4 Noor Ahmad to Swapnil Singh, SIX! Swapnil finishes it off in style. RCB win by 4 wickets but not without drama. That was a tossed-up full toss around the middle stump, Swapnil holds his shape and swings through the line. Sends that well over the straight boundary. A resounding win for RCB in the end.

13.3 Noor Ahmad to Swapnil Singh, flatter a tad outside off, punchd away towards the point region.

13.2 Noor Ahmad to Dinesh Karthik, sweeps away the good-length delivery around middle. straight to the deep backward square leg region and has to settle for a single.

They've decided to go up here. Did DK get any bat on it? Even if he hasn't, looks to be pretty safe for the batter. It's come off the glove. GT burn a review

13.1 Rashid Khan to Dinesh Karthik, Shubman Gill has taken the review, that was more out of desperation as the impact looked to be outside off. DK gets into a position to play the reverse and ends up gloving it away towards the deep third man region, the third umpire was happy that it was off the gloves.

Smart from this pair of Dinesh Karthik & Swapnil to get through this challenging over of Noor. He's done and dusted for tonight and his googlies will not be RCB's headache to deal with anymore. Swapnil's back-to-back sweep shots have brought RCB on the brink of victory!
