Sep 20, 2021 10:05 PM IST

Powerplay best used

KKR have shown how to best use the powerplay overs and now they are just slowing down a bit. Damage is already done – KKR would look to finish quickly to get good NRR.

Sep 20, 2021 9:57 PM IST

50 up for KKR!

Sep 20, 2021 9:39 PM IST

KKR start well

Chasing 93 to win and KKR have knocked off 20 off the first two. Surely, there is no pressure of a big target and it's visible in the way Gill and Iyer have started this innings.

IPL 2021 KKR vs RCB Live Score: In comes Jamieson

And the tall New Zealander is welcomed with a handsome six from Gill. The batsman gives himself room, does a little shimmy down the wicket and absolutely whacks it for four. Almost carried the distance.

Sep 20, 2021 9:32 PM IST

4, 4: Iyer off the mark in IPL

Width on offer and the debutant crashes the ball through off side for a four. Follows it with another bullet cover drive. His IPL career is up and running and in some style. 10 from the first over from Mohammed Siraj.

Sep 20, 2021 9:27 PM IST

2nd innings, here we go

Shubman Gill and debutant Venkatesh Iyer have walked out to open. RCB need something special to pull this one off, and if that doesn't come, it should be smooth sailing for KKR.

Varun Chakravarthy - Kudos to the whole bowling unit, it was a very disciplined bowling performance. I'm happy to do whatever the coach and the captain want me to do, be it bowling the first over or come back later. We did work a lot even during the last phase, credit goes to the team management.

AB de Villiers speaks

AB de Villiers: The humidity is right up there. The sun is about to set, that helps a lot. Gets someone like me excited. I am super excited just to join the guys, with Virat's 200th game today, we are looking forward to get there on the park. We have a nice feel for each other, the top five really enjoy batting together. We've got Dev (Devdutt Padikkal) there as well, very talented youngster and coming through the ranks. I think there's more than enough talent. It's a matter of getting out there and getting the job done and getting some runs on the board. I wouldn't say I didn't do anything. No competitive cricket, no international cricket, you get to a certain age or stage in your career where it becomes a lot more mental and there's hard work behind closed doors which no one knows of. Some gym work, some treadmill work, it's fun to get ready for a tournament like this. You can't just arrive here not doing anything, you got to be 100% ready and try and be as good as you can.

Sep 20, 2021 7:09 PM IST

Sep 20, 2021 7:04 PM IST

Virat Kohli speaks at toss

"Grass covering is to hold the surface together. We think it is going to slow down as the game progresses. More special than the 200th game is this uniform: we promised that we would be playing for the Covid warriors, with these jerseys being auctioned for people."

 

He also confirmed two debutants for RCB: KS Bharat and Hasaranga

Sep 20, 2021 6:54 PM IST

Weather and Pitch Report

“It is very very hot, around 40 degrees. Lovely lush green grass at the outfield. There is a little bit of grass, it's even - so, it will have a tennis ball bounce, little bit of movement and will assist the pacers for a while. The average score batting first is 165. There is a lot of wind coming from one side of the ground.”

– Nick Knight and Matthew Hayden on broadcasting show

Sep 20, 2021 6:47 PM IST

Andre Russell speaks on Hotstar

KKR's Andre Russell: "We need to win games for sure, but we're not stressing ourselves, taking it one game at a time. Once we keep going through each hurdle, we will think about the other one. There is pressure, but you can't put too much on yourself. You can do whatever is in my control, be it with the bat, ball or the field. I just want to contribute to the team. Definitely, I would want to contribute (even if I miss out with either bat or ball), sometimes you will have good games with both bat and ball, but that doesn't happen everyday. It's very hot and humid. We're trying to get accustomed to the heat, we did have some day games in the Caribbean (Premier League), but it wasn't as hot as it is here."
