Marco Jansen to Virat Kohli
YET ANOTHER IPL FIFTY FOR VIRAT KOHLI! He has dictated terms in this chase and has paced his innings to perfection. Too full, on off. Virat Kohli pushes this through mid off and takes one to bring up his half-century. This is Virat's 59th IPL fifty, including 8 hundreds in the IPL. This is his 67th fifty-plus score as well, the most by any batter in the history of this tournament. He has now overtaken David Warner, who has 66 scores of more than fifty.

Arshdeep Singh to Virat Kohli
DRAMA! A mix-up between Rajat and Virat as they had different opinions on running the second, but the fielding side hasn't helped themselves with poor decision-making. Short-pitched, on middle and leg, Virat Kohli pulls this into the surface and towards Shashank Singh's left at deep square. A single is taken comfortably, but Virat runs aggressively for the second with Rajat, caught ball-watching. Shashank Singh fumbles a fraction and throws wildly towards the bowler's end. Virat and Rajat Patidar were shaking hands at the striker's end momentarily, but a poor throw and Shreyas Iyer failing to hit the stumps towards the bowling end combined to secure a dramatic double for RCB.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Virat Kohli
SIX! TIMING AS PRECIOUS AS GOLD! Tossed up on the pads, Virat Kohli moves to his leg a fraction and just lofts this looking for runs. The timing on this was so pure that the ball has sailed over the bowler and towards the sight screen for six runs. 
16.2

Yuzvendra Chahal to Virat Kohli
FOUR! Virat's threading gaps like fielders don't exist. Tossed up again, on middle and leg this time, Virat Kohli comes inside the line of it and flicks this over mid-wicket for four.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Rajat Patidar
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! A touch quicker this time, on off. Rajat Patidar looks to take on the tall frame of Marco Jansen at long on but the ball miscues off the toe end of his bat and Jansen doesn't make a mistake and pouches this. Rajat Patidar departs on 12 (13) and RCB are 143/3.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Jitesh Sharma
Even slower, around leg. Jitesh Sharma gets down on a knee and goes for a wild slog. The ball comes late and he misses it. This has marginally missed the leg-pole.
