While playing, Bengaluru and Punjab faced a major communication failure between Nehal Wadhera and Josh Inglis. Nehal Wadhera attempted to score but ended up at the same base as his teammate Josh Inglis, thus becoming run out with only 5 runs. The fielders Tim David and Virat Kohli carried out a speedy recovery, resulting in Wadhera’s run-out while batting. The wicket taken by Kohli resulted in a memorable celebration from him before the tragic social media dissemination. The video showed Kohli standing directly towards Wadhera while the batter made his way toward the pavilion during the run-out incident.

Punjab Kings had a positive beginning. The first wicket partnership of Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh reached 42 runs together. Following their initial start, the team faced regular batting losses. When Shreyas Iyer followed Nehal Wadhera to the bench, the whole team faced increased tension.
The toss speaker, Rajat Patidar chose to commence the match with batting first on behalf of RCB. Patidar expressed in the toss that he expected minimal changes in pitch conditions, while negative batting conditions would prevail later on. Romario Shepherd received a call-up to the team after the release of Liam Livingstone. Shreyas Iyer as PBKS captain, chose to bat first as the ideal option but decided to adjust his approach to the playing conditions. The captain manifested optimism for his team to achieve a powerful total. Punjab achieved their home victory over Bangalore in their latest meeting.
