Gujarat’s match-winner with the ball emerged as Siraj sent Phil Salt to the pavilion before Devdutt Padikkal and Liam Livingstone followed him to the benches.
Consistency Of Sai Sudarshan

Although Gill was sent back to the pavilion early. Sudarshan and Buttler’s intent was clear and that was to finish the contest in their favour. Sai Sudharshan fell short of just 1 run from a potential half century when he was ultimately dismissed by Josh Hazlewood at 49 runs. Sherfane Rutherford (30) gave a good hand with the bat with his valuable cameo.
RCB’s Poor Start

The hosts faced a challenging comeback because RCB lost four wickets for a total of 42 runs after 6.2 overs.
