We're at the strategic break, and it's been a disastrous start for Bengaluru. They've lost their top three, and the pressure is mounting. The team's hopes now rest on the shoulders of the current pair, who need to stabilize the innings and prevent any further wickets from falling. While Bengaluru still have some batting depth to come, it's crucial that these two in the middle play sensibly, rotate the strike, and keep scoring at a decent rate. They need to rebuild the innings, consolidate, and then look to accelerate later on. The challenge is stiff, but Bengaluru will be hoping for a spirited fightback from their middle order. Gujarat on the other hand would be absolutely thrilled with such a start but they'll ve vary of not stepping down of the paddle.
