KXIP vs RCB, IPL 2018: Royal Challengers Bangalore thrash Kings XI Punjab by 10 wickets

Karun Nair strides out to bat.

U Yadav to L Rahul, OUT! A vital breakthrough for Yadav! Rahul was looking really dangerous. Got to give credit to de Grandhomme for a terrific catch. Back of a length ball on off, the length is not there to quite pick it up but still Lokesh goes through with his swipe. Has connected well but has failed to find the gap. Colin at deep square leg judges it well. He keeps his balance and takes it overhead.

U Yadav to L Rahul, SIX! Dismissive! A shot of a player who is in prime form. Short ball, at 105.7 clicks, Rahul reads it well. He swipes it with authority over mid-wicket for a massive biggie.

U Yadav to L Rahul, Nicely done! Length ball, angling in, Rahul works it through mid-wicket to pick up a couple.

Tim Southee to C Gayle, FOUR! Southee has gone awry and pays the price! The attempted slower ball results into a juicy full toss. Gayle with finesse, for a change, lifts it over mid off to find the fence. 14 from the over.

Tim Southee to C Gayle, FOUR! That was hit like a bullet! Ominous signs for the opposition. Short ball on off, Gayle clears his front leg and hammer-pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Tim Southee to L Rahul, Leg bye! Swinging in, goes past Rahul's bat and brushes his pad to roll to the leg side. A single taken.

Tim Southee to C Gayle, The batsman flicks it away with a wristy shot. The batsmen have run through for a single.

Tim Southee to C Gayle, Very full, tailing in. Chris jams it out towards the bowler.

Tim Southee to C Gayle, FOUR! Shot! In the slot for Gayle outside off, he frees his arms and crashes it through covers for a rocketing boundary.

U Yadav to L Rahul, Can't describe this as a drop! Only a superhuman like de Villiers could have caught it and he almost succeeded. On a length, seaming in. Rahul backs away and tries to flat-bat it but doesn't get any sort of timing on that. AB runs in, dives full length, but the ball just falls short of him. Great effort.

U Yadav to L Rahul, SIX! Brilliant! Short ball on middle and off, Rahul stands tall and pulls it over fine leg. It is going, going and gone. Rahul is hitting his stride now.

U Yadav to C Gayle, Gayle is finally off the mark after 6 balls! Change of length, he goes full this time. Gayle gets it off the outer half to third man. A run taken.

U Yadav to C Gayle, Seaming away on a good length, played with an open face to point.

U Yadav to C Gayle, Swinging in substantially, Gayle falls over a bit in an attempt to clip it and is hit on the thigh pad.

U Yadav to C Gayle, He is toying with Gayle at the moment! Bowls it in the avenue of apprehension and takes the ball away from Chris who has no clue about it. Beaten all ends up.

Tim Southee to L Rahul, SIX! Spoils a terrific over! Back of a length ball on off, Rahul gets into a great position. Swings his bat to pull it over square leg for a maximum. The thing with him is he picks up lengths very quickly.

Tim Southee to L Rahul, Discipline at its best! 5 dot balls in a row, this is a dream start for Bangalore. Back of a length ball, seaming in sharply. Lokesh hangs back and defends it.

Deep cover comes inside the circle.
