Yuzvendra Chahal was once again one of RCB’s best players with the ball – BCCI / IPL
Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the IPL 2020 game between Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore and Steve Smith’s Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi
Saini in the bowl on the 20th Oh my God, Saini played a Nasty One by Saini no-ball and Tewatia was floored A full toss went wrong He is in tremendous pain He’s fine, it’s Tewatia SIX! Tewatia took advantage of this free achievement A Monster Deep Square Leg Strike
Can Udana play the 19th RR can he reach 150? Tewatia collects only one on the first ball 10 more points ball left in the innings It’s more like that – SIX for Archer He’s quite the player, not just with the ball but also with the stick The Englishman hammered this short delivery on a deep center wicket for a six Recovers a splint on the next ball RCB, having done so well the first 14 overs, let the advantage pass, a little 10 runs from above Udana made a mess of a mere chance of exhaustion Tewatia could have been on the way home Anyway, RR 139/6 after 19 Overs
So Saini will play the 18 and 20 And here we go He’s particularly good at death I threw him away, didn’t I? Tewatia welcomes Saini in Tewatia brand fashion – with a deep square leg Archer finishes the top with a thin leg limit Cher de Saini, 13 off RR 129/6 after 18 Overs
Chahal defeats Lomror welcomes him with a maximum on the deep central wicket Nice move from the left-hander so far Chahal has the last word! Lomror leaves for a well done 47 Jofra Archer, right handed bat, comes to fold 10 runs and a wicket from there RR 116/6 after 17 Overs Chahal: 4-0-24-3
Isuru Udana is back in the attack He would like to make amends for an expensive first spell And he got Riyan Parag taken as the Royals sink further Bat left-handed Rahul Tewatia comes to the Sevenfold from there RR 106/5 after 16 Overs
The last six remaining Saini and Chahal could play 16-20 between them Will RCB throw the ball to Zampa for the 15th? « Why isn’t RR going? » chime in my colleague « They have Archer, Curran and Tewatia left, » he adds Royals, are you listening? Alright then, Chahal will play the 15th SIX! This is Chahal’s first aggressive bowling shot today and he’s gone to the max: Lomror has pummeled him for a long time for six years 10 more RR 99/4 after 15 overruns
Sundar is going to play He’s gone for 16 of his three overs so far The Royals are in desperate need of a 20-run from somewhere One won’t be enough They need a few of these and given RCB’s deadly bowling options at the moment, RR’s task has become more difficult Sundar’s excellent finish – Only four singles His numbers: 4-0-20-0 RR 89/4 after 14 Overs
Adam Zampa is back in the attack Kohli is spoiled for choice when it comes to bowling Saini and Chahal each have two overs on the left Expect the duo to end 16-20 Until then , Parag finally has one for four Zampa throws him on the middle stump and the youngsters push him to the ground for a limit Eight from above RR 85/4 after 13 Overs
Quick middle right-hand man Shivam Dube goes on the attack If the Royals are to achieve a competitive score, this pair needs to show some chutzpah Good start for Dube – only four come off at the end RR 77 / 4 after 12 Overs
Yuzvendra Chahal is back in the attack And he strikes again! Wicket from the first ball of his first on and now, hits with the first ball of his second Uthappa makes a hole too long Royals in mess Riyan Parag, right handed bat, comes to the fold Chahal has been in a searing form until present – another economy finished, only three races and one Chahal wicket so far – 2-0-5-2 RR 73/4 after 11 Overs
Navdeep Saini is back in the attack Virat on the lookout for wickets Lomror decides to face Saini and recovers four Nine from that RR 70/3 after 10 passes
Adam Zampa, right arm spinner, to continue Whoa SIX! This should calm Lomror’s nerves – right in Zampa and Lomror’s lunge, the slog sweeps this over the deep center gate for six A much needed success for Rajasthan A strategic downtime was taken with players still on the hunt for the ball Disadvantage of playing in empty stadiums Good return from Zampa Just four of the next four balls RR 61/3 after 9 Overs
Sundar is entering his third now How long before Uthappa or Lomror or both decide to strike back Just four singles from this The Royals are feeling the heat, literally and metaphorically Uthappa raised Team 50 with a alone on the last ball RR 50/3 after 8 Overs
Right leg spinner Adam Zampa steps into attack Uthappa collects single with premeditated paddle sweep Good start by the Aseman Little tricky phase for Royals Lomror and Uthappa have to do repair work but they don’t can’t afford to let RCB dictate conditions for a long time It turned out to be a good end up to that long-standing limit by Uthappa from the last Bravo balloon to Gurkeerat, who made a full dive but couldn’t stop the border Eight from there RR 46/3 after 7 Overs
Sundar from Washington [10-0-7-0] to complete the Powerplay RCB’s bowling has been on the money In previous seasons they kind of lacked the bite to challenge the formation of the opposition – not this year The rhythm of Saini and the PP abilities of Sundar added a zest to him Without forgetting the cunning Chahal In short, just three singles and a double of this Washy over RR 38/3 after 6 Overs
Yuzvendra Chahal, broken leg of the right arm, enters the attack Yuzi Chahal strikes! Whoa What’s going on, RR? Another first bullet wicket, this time the victim is the RCB shaped Samson on fire here It’s an aggressive move from Virat He knows RR’s first order is the real threat, well he’s now got rid of of the three dangerous men Mahipal Lomror, left-handed bat, comes to the crease Plays his first game of the season and comes out with his team in shock Just two runs and a wicket from there RR 33/3 after 5 Overs

Navdeep Saini, right arm stimulator, in attack MISSING! Saini, your beauty He takes the big fish right away: Buttler has to go He’s caught for 22 What a start for RCB Buttler was defeated by the raw pace of Saini there – these are good times for Indian cricket Bowlers Indian rapids rock world-class drummers with speed Meanwhile, right-handed bat Robin Uthappa comes to the crease A wicket maiden in Powerplay Accessories for Saini RR 31/2 after 4 Overs
Udana to continue SIX! Buttler chooses the shortest length and the short arm hits him to the max! What a strike Udana doesn’t learn from his Bowls mistakes a half-tracker now and at this rate he’s only going one way – until the close Buttler gets 10 out of the first two MISSING! This should fix the damage Udana cleaned up Smith at the bowling Aussie right-hander trying to play the cut off ends up cutting Samson joins Buttler BOOM! It’s the start of a fit batsman – a half volley from Udana, a gift really, and Samson happily accepts it and chases it for four 15 runs and a wicket from there RR 31/1 after 3 Overs
Right arm Washington Sundar in the attack Buttler is in the mood today – he runs to a thin leg Third limit of RR innings Good return of young TN Just three runs on the next four balls RR 16 / 0 after 2 Overs
Isuru Udana takes the new Buttler ball and Smith opens the sleeves Buttler is on strike Eventful start already Buttler gets a first edge ball but it does not wear to slip Udana gets lost in the next ball line – goes short and on the pads; Buttler puts it in front of a short, thin leg for four Steve Smith, now opens his account with a limit Sri Lankan strays back on the pads again and these are easy picks for Smith Udana Nine bad start from there RR 9/0 after 1 Over
Steve Smith: « We’ll beat first It’s a day game, pretty hot here, so we want to start by beating and setting a goal We have a change, Lomror comes in for Ankit (Rajpoot) It’s a long tournament, you’re going to win games, lose games Hope we put on a good show today Ben (Stokes) is a quality player, add to our squad once he arrives «
Virat Kohli: « We are playing with the same XI We wanted to beat first because it is a day game, better come into the game in the first six overs of the game. Building a strong team is good to seeing young people doing the work for us Chahal is still a banker and AB does what he does well «

The arrival of Ben Stokes should help Rajasthan consolidate its fragile intermediate order He will, in all likelihood, replace Tom Curran in the XI Bangalore, on the other hand, have blown hot and cold There have been times when they were spectacular and then there were phases where the slips reminded of past mistakes Virat Kohli’s poor form will be a big concern for RCB But being the champion that Kohli is, a good shot maybe just in the corner of rue Lancer in 20 minutes
