Vaibhav Arora to Phil Salt, FOUR, Salt if off the mark in typical fashion! Great bit of inswing on that ball but if it's that full, Salt won't bother one bit. Just belted out a cover drive
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: KKR 174/8
From hopes of 230+, KKR come crashing down and finish with 174. Not often you commend RCB for their bowling but this is a mega comeback from them led by Krunal Pandya.
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: OUT!!
Hazlewood to Harshit Rana, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Top edge so high, Jitesh calls for it, runs and goes near square leg to complete that catch. Short ball from Hazlewood, Harshit went for a big pull, complete mishit and Hazlewood gets the reward for fine bowling.
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Raghuvanshi Out!!
Yash Dayal to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Edged and gone! Pacy short of length delivery angling away, Angkrish looks for a big leg-side slog, gets an outside edge and Jitesh gets his third catch of the day. Another important dent to KKR and their hopes of 190+ looks bleak now.
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates:
Yash Dayal to Ramandeep Singh, 1 run, short and wide with pace off, Ramandeep slaps it on the bounce to extra-cover. Just fell short of the diving Rajat

Hazlewood to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, SIX, to deep mid-wicket
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Russell OUT!!
Suyash Sharma to Russell, out Bowled!! Through him and timbaahh! This is why you bowl straight to Dre Russ as a leggie if you have a googly. It's tossed up, it's in the slot, it's the bowler's final over and it's the tease.
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Rinku Singh OUT!!
Krunal Pandya to Rinku Singh, out Bowled!! Bowled him! Another quicker delivery that rushes the LHB and it's shattered the castle. Rinku thought he could have a big pull shot, but he misses it completely. Again it skids under the bat and probably didn't bounce as expected. Krunal Pandya keeps it wicket it to wicket for you miss
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Four!!
Livingstone to Rinku Singh, FOUR, short, hit me ball and Rinku punishes off the back foot wide of long-on. Sat up to be hit and Rinku placed it nicely in the gap

Bowled by Krunal Pandya, out Bowled!! And he's knocked him over next ball. Venky immediately put his helmet on. Krunal now just tries to fire
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Four!!
Suyash Sharma to Venkatesh Iyer, FOUR, control has been the problem for Suyash Sharma today. An absolute hit me out of sight ball - short and down leg. Fine leg was up too so Venky rocked back, swivelled and pulled the ball easily over the infield. Wanted a six but it bounced just inside
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Rahane OUT!!
Krunal Pandya to Rahane, out Caught by Rasikh Salam!! That is straight down the throat of the fielder down at deep backward square leg. Deliberately short and leg-sidish with a deep backward square leg in place. Jinks has got a lot of runs in that area so he doesn't resist. Goes for the pull but hits it flat and straight to the man.
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Sunil Narine Out!!
Rasikh Salam to Narine, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Rasikh Salam has the last laugh as he screams "come onnnnnn" in celebration. 132ks short ball outside off stump.
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Half century for Rahane
Suyash Sharma to Rahane, SIX, that was juicy and Rahane does not miss out. Quicker and fuller outside off, Rahane sinks to one knee and dispatches it into the mid-wicket orbit for a mighty maximum. Rahane has a fifty on his debut as KKR skipper.
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates:
Suyash Sharma to Rahane, 1 run, Suyash Sharma got away with that. Short and quick outside off, Rahane chips the loft and gets it to the left of the fielder at long-off. Good comeback from Suyash after getting hit for a boundary second ball of the over...
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: KKR utilised the powerplay completely
KKR lost de Kock 5th ball of the innings, but the duo of Rahane and Narine did not stop trying their best to boost the powerplay. They did have some luck (through edges), but RCB bowlers (barring Hazlewood) helped their cause by spraying it all over the place, especially to a class batter like Rahane. The surface looks like a belter and anything under 190 could be really tough to defend.
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Four!!
Yash Dayal to Narine, FOUR, that went like a tracer bullet....as Ravi Shaz would have said. 132ks full and angled into the pads, Narine whips and puts it in the gap between mid-on and mid-wicket. The pace of Yash Dayal takes care of the rest
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Narine complementing Rahane
Krunal Pandya to Narine, SIX, Narine says don't worry I will take care of Krunal. Touch fuller and faster outside off, Narine clears his front leg and smokes it for an 89-metre maximum over wide long-on
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: SIX!!
Rasikh Salam to Rahane, SIX, it continues to get better for the KKR skipper. He is toying with some ordinary bowling here. 130ks nothing delivery outside off, sits up perfectly for Rahane who tonks it for a 92-metre maximum over cow corner
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Consecutive boundaries
Rasikh Salam to Rahane, FOUR, that is a gimme and Rahane helps himself to his first boundary. Length delivery slipping down the leg-side, Rahane swings hard and gets good contact to get it racing to the fine leg fence
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Four!!
Hazlewood to Narine, FOUR, one bounce and over the ropes! 133ks bumper just outside off, Narine takes his eyes off the ball and swings leg-side, the attempted pull takes the top-edge and flies over the keeper for Narine's first boundary
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates:
Yash Dayal to Narine, 1 run, cramped for room this time around. 134ks skiddy length delivery angled into the left-hander, Narine swivels and mistimes the pull to the left of mid-wicket
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: OUT!!
Hazlewood to de Kock, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Quinton de Kock is gone? The 4th umpire asks de Kock to wait. Is that a c lean catch? Yes
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Dropped
Hazlewood to de Kock, no run, Suyash Sharma drops a dolly. The decibels go up at the Eden Gardens. Banged in short outside off, Quinton de Kock pulls and gets a massive top-edge that goes high into the air on the leg-side. Mid-wicket Suyash had all the time in the world to settle under that, he was right under it but couldn't lock his palms. Nerves?
KKR Vs RCB Live Score And Updates: Four
Hazlewood to de Kock, FOUR, first boundary of IPL 2025. 132ks width on offer
