3.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! First Gill and now Sudharsan, both GT openers back in the hut inside 4 overs. Just the kind of start RCB would have wanted. Bhuvneshwar sticks to the short ball and this is angled across. Sudharsan was better off leaving this alone, as it seemed to be going over his head. Still, Sai gets his bat high over his head to drag it away but he fails to get on top of the bounce. A top edge is found, and it goes straight up in the fine leg region, a few meters beyond the inner circle. The keeper, Jitesh Sharma sprints to his right, keeps his eyes on the ball and holds onto it. GT are now 2 down for 26. 26/2

2.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Josh Hazlewood lands a big blow as he sends the GT skipper packing. Seam-up ball, bowled on a short of a length, just outside the off stump. Gill is half-forward as he attempts the short-arm jab. It is skied off the bottom half of the blade back over the bowler's head. Jacob Duffy at mid on was in a better position to take the catch but for some reason, he did not commit himself to the catch. Rajat Patidar goes after it from mid off by running to his right and extends his hands to take a good catch. Gujarat Titans are 22/1 after 2.2 overs. 22/1

8 OUT! CAUGHT! The pressure was mounting, and Nishant Sindhu perishes as he tries to up the ante. Rasikh Salam bashes the shorter length and angles the ball back into the batter. Sindhu charges down the track and drags the pull flat and hard towards long on. He ends up hitting it straight down the throat of the fielder in the deep and Devdutt Padikkal makes no mistake. GT are now 55/3. 55/3

12.1 OUT! STUMPED! Krunal Pandya gets the prized scalp. He is charged up as he lets out a big roar. Krunal perhaps spotted Buttler stepping out and he fires in a wide yorker from around the wicket. Jos is made to reach out but the ball sneaks under the blade. Jitesh Sharma does well to get low to his right and gathers the ball cleanly before whipping the bails off in a flash. There was a touch of twitchiness about Jos Buttler, and over the last couple of overs, he had begun to show clear signs of wanting to force the pace. Gujarat Titans are 73/4 now. 73/4

14.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Sensing the Gujarat Titans beginning to build a bit of momentum, Rajat Patidar turns to his trusted man, and Hazlewood delivers immediately. Josh bends his back and digs it in short, directs it at the batter. Arshad swivels for the pull, but is cramped, and the ball also gets big on him. It goes straight up off the shoulder of the bat and only as far as short fine leg, where Rasikh Salam takes the simplest of catches. 99/5

16.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Just like Josh Hazlewood, Rasikh Salam too strikes on his first ball after returning to the attack. Rasikh comes in from around the wicket, serves the ball a touch full and just outside off. It is the slower one and Rahul Tewatia is through the heave a bit too early. Tewatia clubs it high over mid on, where Rajat Patidar back-pedals and takes it safely. Wicket number 18 of the season for Rasikh. He is on a hat-trick, having struck on the last ball of his previous over. GT are reeling at 115/6. 115/6

18.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets the length spot-on and joins Kagiso Rabada on 28 wickets, equalling the record for most wickets this season. A surprise bumper from Bhuvi, not all that quick at 130 clicks, but it comes in over the front shoulder. Jason Holder looks to take it on but gets a top edge that flies over the keeper's head. Josh Hazlewood at short third calls for it and Jitesh Sharma leaves it alone. Josh pouches it safely and GT are 7 down. 142/7

19.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Rasikh Salam gets instant revenge on Rashid Khan. A well-directed bumper from Rasikh, right at the batter. Rashid gets cramped for room and still goes through with the big hook shot, ending up mistiming it down to deep square leg. Romario Shepherd, with those bucket hands of his, takes it comfortably, and Rasikh has three wickets in the Final. 151/8

4.3 OUT! TAKEN! A much-needed breakthrough for the Titans. Mohammed Siraj hits the deck hard this time, on middle, skids through a bit. Venkatesh Iyer stays deep inside his crease to flat-bat it down the ground but gets rushed again. He fails to get the elevation and hits it tamely towards mid on, where Kagiso Rabada takes a simple catch. A bit of a send-off from Siraj, but Venkatesh has done his job. RCB are 62/1, chasing 156 runs. 62/1

5.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Wow, gutsy move from Shubman Gill to stick with Kagiso Rabada, and that brings in another wicket for the Titans. Kagiso Rabada bowls this fuller and keeps it away from the batter, outside off. Devdutt Padikkal backs away a long way and just throws his bat at it to reach out. He ends up slicing it off the outer half of the bat towards deep third, where Arshad Khan quickly runs to his left, crouches low and takes a fantastic catch near his face. That is also wicket number 29 for Rabada, which secures the Purple Cap for him. 63/2

8.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Kagiso Rabada steps close to the ropes, but does well to just jam the brakes, and Rashid Khan gets a wicket in his very first over. Nicely tossed up, on middle and this one dips a bit as well. Rajat Patidar goes down on one knee and looks to slog it away. Patidar gets it high on the bat and the ball sails down to long on, where the catch is taken. RCB are now 89/3. 89/3

8.5 OUT! LBW! Would you believe it? Rashid Khan pulls GT back into the game in a matter of just 4 balls. That's pretty plumb and Virat Kohli doesn't even bother telling Krunal Pandya to take the review. Flatter one from Rashid, bowled full and on off. Pandya lunges across to drag the sweep shot fine but plays all around it. The ball catches him on the crouched back thigh, and up goes the finger. From 89/2, RCB are now 91/4, still needing 65 for the win. 91/4

14 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The Titans get the review right and Tim David departs with RCB needing 24 more runs. Arshad gets the ball to move away off the deck, on a good length, on off and middle. David does not move his feet at all and brings his bat out in front for the block. The ball decks away to go past the outside edge before going through to the keeper, Jos Buttler. Was there an edge? GT think so but the appeal gets turned down. There was a noise, and Shubman Gill takes the review. A spike on the UltraEdge when the ball is next to the bat and the on-field decision will have to be overturned. RCB are now 5 down for 132. 132/5
