Next up in the IPL - A new week in the Indian Premier League kicks off on Monday, 13th April, when the Sunrisers Hyderabad take on the Rajasthan Royals in Hyderabad, with the Royals being one of only 2 sides to remain unbeaten so far. The game will commence at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you know the drill, you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Weekend action comes to a close - A run-fest in Mumbai to wrap up the weekend. 462 runs were scored in a marathon, with RCB coming up trumps to clinch their third win of the season in 4 games, while MI have plenty to think about, particularly on the bowling front, having now lost 3 on the trot. Earlier in the day in Lucknow, the Gujarat Titans prevailed over the Lucknow Super Giants in a comfortable chase, with both sides now having 2 wins and as many losses.
The skipper of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru - Rajat Patidar says that the win feels amazing, especially with the atmosphere in Wankhede, and the feeling of playing in a packed stadium like this is special. Adds that the way Virat Kohli and Phil Salt set it up was crucial, and then he and the rest of the batters managed to capitalise. On being called a spin specialist in the past, Patidar says that he does play spin well, but he is also good against pace, and it is starting to show. On Kohli's injury, he downplays it a bit and says that he doesn't know yet.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - For his swashbuckling 78 off 36 balls, Phil Salt wins the award. When asked about his golden duck in the last game and then coming up with this performance tonight, Salt says it is about riding the highs and lows of the game and staying balanced. Salt says that some grounds are not the most bowler-friendly, so the approach is to keep taking the attack to the opposition. Mentions that you cannot score runs in every game, and no one can, so his focus is on trying to make an impact whenever he gets the opportunity.
Time for the presentation ceremony....
Next up is RCB's Suyash Sharma - Suyash says the plan was to keep the stumps in play. Mentions that he was not focused on bowling dot balls, but wanted to pick up wickets. He adds that it depends on the situation, whether to bowl defensively to save runs or attack in search of wickets. When asked about his plans against Tilak Varma and Ryan Rickelton, he says he wanted to bowl in the blockhole, as they are strong when given width, and his aim was simply to hit the stumps.
The captain of the Mumbai Indians - Hardik Pandya says that they just conceded way too many runs. Adds that they were always playing catch-up, and be it as a bowling unit or the batting unit, they have been playing catch-up in the last two games. Believes that it is a good thing that they have a couple of days off to reconsider a few things. He acknowledges that things aren't working for them, and irrespective of the toss or the wicket, they need to play good cricket. On the Powerplays yielding so many runs in general, he says that they will look into it and do what they can with the ball. On Sherfane Rutherford, Pandya says that they always knew the kind of potential he has and the way he batted, he gave us a lot of confidence tonight.
Salt and Patidar headline RCB blitz - After the toss fell MI's way, they were sent on a leather hunt as first Phil Salt, and then Rajat Patidar teed off. Amidst that carnage, Virat Kohli had an uncharacteristically scratchy innings. 183 at the end of 14 overs, and the way RCB were going, it looked like a case of how much beyond 250 and not if they would get there. However, MI managed to pull things back, and RCB had to be content with 240. Jasprit Bumrah was once again tough to get away and was the most economical of the lot, though he went wicketless and is yet to pick up a wicket this IPL.
A mountain too steep to climb - In pursuit of 241, it was not a bad start for the Mumbai Indians with 56 runs coming off the first 5 overs, but then Rohit Sharma pulled up with a hamstring issue. That resulted in a couple of breaks before eventually retiring hurt. If that was not enough to disrupt the momentum, Ryan Rickelton and Tilak Varma fell in the same over. From there, MI never managed to inject the desired impetus into their innings and did not get those big overs to keep the required run rate in check. Krunal Pandya made it all the more difficult for Mumbai through the middle phase, but Sherfane Rutherford's power-hitting ensured the run rate did not take a bigger hit.
RCB return to winning ways - A game that seemed to go on forever, but the result was sealed well before the end. A win set up by the RCB batters, and the bowlers did the rest to close it out. Hardik Pandya pointed to execution with the ball as the reason for their defeat in that 11-over shootout against the Rajasthan Royals, and it was the bowling once again that came under fire. After starting the season with a win, MI have now lost three games in a row.

Romario Shepherd To Sherfane Rutherford
SIX! That's it, it is finally over, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru win by 18 runs. Overpitched delivery outside off, right in the slot, Sherfane Rutherford hangs back and muscles it through the line over long on for another biggie, the fourth one in the over. 26 runs off it.

Romario Shepherd To Sherfane Rutherford
SIX! Rutherford is playing a gem here, sadly, it doesn't seem to be enough. A low full toss, wide outside the off stump, Rutherford reaches out and stylishly lofts it all the way over the cover fence for a biggie.

SIX! That sounded so sweet off the bat. Short of a length, over middle, sits up as well. Rutherford picks it up and clobbers the pull shot deep into the stands beyond the mid-wicket fence.

Romario Shepherd To Sherfane Rutherford
A swing and a miss. Back of a length and outside off, Rutherford leans back to pull but misses. He wants to review it for a wide, not quite sure why but MI don't have any reviews left.

Romario Shepherd To Sherfane Rutherford
SIX! FIFTY up for Sherfane Rutherford, his maiden IPL half-century. A waist-high full toss from Shepherd, angling into the batter. Rutherford swivels and pulls it flat over deep backward square leg for a six. Rutherford feels this is above waist height and takes the review for a No Ball not given. The third umpire confirms that Rutherford's waist height is 1 meter, and the ball was at 0.97 meters, close but not close enough.
Rasikh Salam returns, or does he? He was at the top of his mark, ready to bowl, but it turns out he had been off the field for too long and is not eligible to bowl yet. Romario Shepherd to bowl the final over of the game.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar To Sherfane Rutherford
Bhuvi keeps the length full and lands it almost perfectly at the batter's toes. Rutherford flicks it to mid-wicket for a single. 45 needed off 6 balls and barring any extras, it's game over for MI.

That's a top delivery. Bhuvneshwar Kumar nails the straight yorker, Rutherford can only manage to jam it into the turf. The ball goes over the bowler's head and they get a single.

Jacob Duffy To Sherfane Rutherford
SIX! An over filled with three wides and three big hits, nothing in between. Short of a length, and outside off, Sherfane Rutherford leans back and swings with the angle, nailing it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. 21 off the over and still, it's under-par.

WIDE! No chance of a review this time. Full and well wide of the off stump line, Rutherford extends his arms but can't reach it.

Jacob Duffy To Sherfane Rutherford
Another review, this time by Sherfane Rutherford for a wide not given for height. Short ball around off, comes in at helmet height and Rutherford fails to pull it away. The third umpire is called into action once again and technology confirms that Rutherford's head height is 1.87 meters, whereas the ball passed at a height of 1.80 meters. No wide!

Jacob Duffy To Sherfane Rutherford
WIDE! Pace off again from Duffy, short and wide outside off. Rutherford looks to slap it over point but misses and a wide is called. Once again, RCB review it. The third umpire checks it again and this time, he finds that no part of the ball is inside the wide guideline. The wide call stays.
