Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Rajasthan Royals, 42nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jofra Archer to Tim David, out Tim David Run Out!! 1 run completed. Back of a length outside off, David looks to pull and drags it to deep midwicket. He goes for the second run as it's the last ball but ends up well short. Tim David run out (Hetmyer/Dhruv Jurel) 23(15) [4s-2 6s-1]

Jofra Archer to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, slower short ball outside off, Jitesh does well to wait on it and pulls it to the midwicket boundary! Was struck on the helmet earlier in the over but still watches the ball closely to spot the variation

Sandeep Sharma to Tim David, SIX, mishit from David and it still clears the ropes! Back of a length delivery wide of off, he throws his bat at it, carves it in the air and gets enough to clear deep extra cover

Sandeep Sharma to Tim David, wide, slower bouncer, not called wide for height and David has reviewed! The line was outside off, he tried an upper-cut but failed to connect. Ball-tracking confirms that it's over the head

Sandeep Sharma to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, again goes short and wide to Jitesh but it doesn't work. He's already expecting it and standing across his stumps. Manages to reach out and slap it over extra cover

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Tim David, FOUR, very sloppy from Shubham Dubey in the ring! Low full toss outside off, David carves it through backward point and it could've been a chance low to the right for Dubey had he been more alert. But he doesn't even get a hand on it

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, Jitesh tries a reverse-scoop over short third, but somehow ends up getting over short fine! Short of length across off, slower one that holds in the surface and Jitesh is through the shot too early. Luckily for him, it loops off a thick edge over the fielder

Sandeep Sharma to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, edged and four! Short of length outside off, Jitesh looks to cut but is cramped for room and the ball climbs on him as well. Gets a healthy edge and it splits the gap between the keeper and short third

Sandeep Sharma to Rajat Patidar, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! Double strike from Sandeep as Patidar doesn't last long! Short of length outside off, cross seam at 128kph, he looks to cut but fails to get on top of the bounce, nicking it through to the keeper. Rajat Patidar c Dhruv Jurel b Sandeep Sharma 1(3)

Sandeep Sharma to Padikkal, out Caught by Nitish Rana!! After juggling with it multiple times, Rana finally holds on to a catch that should've been a sitter to start with. He seemed to lose it while it was mid-air but managed to recover. Slower ball angling away outside off, back of a length, Padikkal tries slapping it through the off-side but the ball kicks up and he spoons it to extra cover. A superb knock comes to an end and he's congratulated by Sandeep on the way off. Padikkal c Nitish Rana b Sandeep Sharma 50(27) [4s-4 6s-3]

Jofra Archer to Tim David, no run, sharp bouncer and Archer can't believe it's been called a wide. He's gesturing to Parag to go for the review and the skipper obliges. While that process is going on, looks like the ball is being replaced. Here's ball-tracking, David's height is 1.95 meters, and this ball went at 1.93 meters, so it's a fair delivery

Jofra Archer to Tim David, FOUR, edged and four! Short of length outside off, some width on offer and it's enough for David who slashes hard and the top-edge flies over the keeper

Jofra Archer to Kohli, out Caught by Nitish Rana!! Archer is brought back and he immediately gets rid of Kohli! Should he have been brought on earlier when the partnership was flourishing? Short of length on off, slower leg-cutter and it grips and holds in the pitch as Kohli tries punching it over extra cover. He gets it quite high on the splice and spoons it in the air. Simple catch for Rana in the circle as Archer does the job asked of him. Kohli c Nitish Rana b Jofra Archer 70(42) [4s-8 6s-2]

Tushar Deshpande to Padikkal, SIX, Padikkal continues his good form and continues plundering runs against Rajasthan Royals! Has an average of 65-plus against them, and now has another fifty! Low full toss at the stumps, he goes down the ground and tonks it for a flat six

Tushar Deshpande to Kohli, 1 run, back of a length on middle, pace off from Deshpande and it kicks up awkwardly off the pitch, taking a thick top-edge as Kohli looks to play a pick-up shot. It goes in the air but lands short of deep backward square

Tushar Deshpande to Kohli, SIX, swiped away for six! Fuller than a good length, right in the slot on middle and Kohli uses his fast hands to great effect, whacking it across the line

Tushar Deshpande to Padikkal, SIX, short and wide, probably a slower one, Padikkal sees the room on offer, goes chasing after it and slashes it over backward point. Has struck it well enough to go all the way!

Riyan Parag to Kohli, SIX, how did he manage to hit that for six! Tossed up very wide outside off, Kohli reaches out with a cross-batted swipe, gets it quite close to the bottom of his bat but it still sails over long-off

Riyan Parag to Padikkal, 1 run, wow that's quick! 107kph, darted in from around the wicket, cramps Padikkal for room as he backs away and beats him on the cut

Hasaranga to Padikkal, 1 run, dropped. Full on leg stump, Padikkal gets a top-edge on the slogsweep and the fielder couldn't hang on. Tushar came running in and put in the dive, but the ball popped out as soon as his elbows hit the ground

Hasaranga to Padikkal, FOUR, googly wide of off, Padikkal sits deep inside the crease and picks the variation. Plays the cut really late and sends it in the gap wide of short third to his left

Sandeep Sharma to Kohli, FOUR, makes room and slices the drive off the thick outside half over the leaping fielder at backward point to his left. Premeditated stuff from Kohli and managed to get it in the gap eventually

Hasaranga to Padikkal, FOUR, full and just outside off, Padikkal sinks to one knee and times the sweep superbly in the gap through mid-wicket, no chance for the fielders in the deep

Riyan Parag to Padikkal, no run, full and drifting down the leg-side, Padikkal looks to sweep and misses. RR review for a non-wide. Did Padikkal get something on that? Oh, there is a glove. UltraEdge shows a clear spike. Thankfully for RCB, the ball hit the pads of the keeper and dropped dead

Riyan Parag to Padikkal, FOUR, slider on leg stump, Padikkal goes deep inside the crease and belts the pull behind square on the leg-side, beating the diving effort of Archer in the deep

Hasaranga to Phil Salt, out Caught by Hetmyer!! Hasaranga strikes in his first over and does the PUSHPA celebration. Slower and on the stumps, teasing the batter to play a big shot. Salt attempts the slogsweep and ekes out a thick top-edge to the left of deep mid-wicket. Hetmyer runs across to his left and completes the catch. Phil Salt c Hetmyer b Hasaranga 26(23) [4s-4]

Sandeep Sharma to Kohli, FOUR, shade of the very great SRT on that. Wobble seam full delivery just outside off, Kohli with his high elbow off drive that skids off the deck past the fielder at mid-off to his right

Tushar Deshpande to Kohli, FOUR, King Kohli and his love affair with flick shots. Match made in heaven. Juicy full delivery on the pads alright, but Kohli made that flick look so cool. Minimal movement and it was as if the ball was waiting to kiss the impact of his wrist-work rather than the other way around. Raced away through mid-wicket....

Tushar Deshpande to Phil Salt, FOUR, lovely timing! Back of a length outside off at 138ks, Salt stays leg-side of the delivery and crunches it past the fielder at cover to his left

Tushar Deshpande to Phil Salt, FOUR, that's a juicy full toss from Tushar Deshpande and Salt takes full toll of it. Watches the ball dip and times the drive to beat Parag at mid-on to his left

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Phil Salt, FOUR, 135ks banged in short just outside off, Salt tries to pull and gets a thick top-edge that flies over the lone slip. One bounce and over the ropes at third man

Jofra Archer to Kohli, FOUR, short on the stumps, Kohli pulls and beats the fielder at square leg to his right. This time the pace was 145ks and all Kohli needed to do was time the ball which he did with absolute perfection

Jofra Archer to Kohli, FOUR, 148ks short ball outside off, Kohli looks to cut and gets a thick top-edge that flies past the lone slip fielder to his right. The ball hurried onto Kohli and pinged him on the glove in fact
