Narine smashed a 17-ball fifty to get the chase going.

Three overs and three different bowlers for KKR so far ... De Kock falls and Chawla gets the wicket. This is probably the most balanced RCB side ever. He's transferred the pressure back on RCB. He had raced to 43 off 27 and KKR needed this. 18-1 (Quinton de Kock, 1.4), 63-2 (Brendon McCullum, 8.2), 127-3 (AB de Villiers, 14.2), 127-4 (Virat Kohli, 14.3), 154-5 (Sarfaraz Khan, 18.1), 176-6 (Mandeep Singh, 19.5), 176-7 (Chris Woakes, 19.6), Bowlers gave 52 Runs in First 6 Overs Mandatory Powerplay, Extras 13 (b 0, lb 3, w 10, nb 0, p 0) RCB set a decent total of 176/7 in 20 overs with the help of AB de Villiers (44 runs in 23 balls) and Brendon McCullum (43 runs in 27 balls) batting performances. Full and Rana went for the slog. Short ball and he went for the pull. Same old, same old for the visitors. Ploy was to stop McCullum from going bang bang, by introducing spin. They can't have someone having a bad day. Will also be interesting to see which Under-19 star makes it to the final XI of the KKR line-up. The 17th over of the innings was bowled by Pat Cummins and it was an expensive one. https://www.iplt20.com/video/116530/m03-kkr-vs-rcb-match-highlights This was the third match of IPL 2018 and in all previous matches of IPL 2018 captains who won the toss, have chosen to field first and successfully chased as well.

Kohli has come in and settled in instantly.

This is one aspect of captaincy I have to learn. Hope you enjoyed the contest. The four overseas are Lynn, Narine, Russell and Johnson.

In the last years IPL 2019, The KKR have won the first IPL game by 5 wickets on 5th April and the next game was won by RCB … Tried to go for the big hit but doesn't connect well. They had to look at this over with a glint in their eyes and milk it. Our four overseas are ABD, McCullum, de Kock and Woakes. The captain couldn't believe it and even looked at the bottom of his bat, but there's no going back.

Until next time then ... KKR have opened their account and RCB are left licking their wounds.

Robin Uthappa falls now. Short ball outside off from Woakes. Royal Challengers Bangalore: Quinton de Kock(w), Brendon McCullum, Virat Kohli(c), AB de Villiers, Sarfaraz Khan, Mandeep Singh, Washington Sundar, Chris Woakes, Kulwant Khejroliya, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narine, Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa, Dinesh Karthik(w/c), Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Piyush Chawla, Vinay Kumar, Mitchell Johnson, Kuldeep Yadav.

Full toss outside off and inside edge onto the off stumps.

#IPL, STATBUZZ: Kohli has been dismissed by spinners only seven times in the last five years of IPL.

Nitish Rana had just ripped RCB's heart out in two deliveries. The 50-run stand comes to an end.
