17.6: Tom Curran to Virat Kohli, FOUR! In the gap and it is another boundary! Runs needed in single digits now. Shorter and on the body, Kohli whips it behind square on the leg side and it goes away for another boundary.

18.5: Isuru Udana to Jofra Archer, What just happened there? Comedy of errors! Bangalore should have had a wicket. It is a yorker on the pads, Udana looks to flick but misses. It is beside Archer. Tewatia wants a run and sets off. Archer is not interested. Tewatia almost runs the whole way but then has to get back. Udana gets to the ball and then tries to pick it up but fails to do so. He finally does pick it up and then tries to lob it towards Kohli who runs in from covers but it is wide of him. In the end no harm done.

On the pads, Tewatia flicks it, it is with the wind and goes over the square leg fence. He loves hitting sixes and this is Rajasthan's 50th six of this edition. Also, good way to start the over.
